The Joys of Rail Travel

[f4f3]

I am such a sucker for gimmickry - I just had to try the wifi internet that GNER is touting on its trains, and in return for 8 quid I've had the pleasure of taking one hour to get on to livejournal.

Still, at least this is my first post from Berwick on Tweed...

Someone on tonight's train was wearing a pair of them - I had my tiny in ear things, and I thought we were a fine example of divergent evolution.

*g*

There are two reasons I went for my big headphones. First, I don't want to bother everyone with the noise (which in-ear ones do, particularly if the train is loud and you have to turn it up). Second, I don't want to damage my hearing (big headphones keep sound out as well as in, so I can have the volume lower).

I eventually went for the ones you plug into your ear - after the gigs I've been to my hearing is probably already well screwed up anyway :-)

We have some of those for the gym - Sonys, I think? - and they're not bad, actually.

Sony's at the moment, although I want the new Senheissers.

Sennheiser do an in-ear model? :-D

Announced last month - you can get it from the States (or eBay) although I haven't seen them here yet.
