Today Is indeed a dreary day. Just one of those days where u wake up after 15 hours of sleep, and stil you tired and bored enough to volunteer for 10 years of cryogenetical sleep.

I called mom back home in austria wishing her all the best on her birthday. After that I was completely at loss for what to do next. Feeling tired alone and slightly depressed i decided to take my bike out for a ride.

Having toured kuwait two and a half times, my boredom climaxed to unbearable levels. So i parked my ass in starbucks the one on the beach salwa side (im really bad at directions).

So i sit here all by lonesome, searching for normality. The more people pass by, the more I start to ponder upon their lives. Wondering what their lives are like. And if their just as sick and tired of kuwaits routine as I am.

if i could i would just want to leave and take the next flight to any nordic or asian country to find some mystic wonderfull adventure. If it could only cure my boredom just for a day or two i would be imensly pleased.

-Update:

I passed by Starbucks near the Church in kuwait city, to my surprise a lot of construction there… But I managed to find a way in through the dirt… Lesson learnt.. never hit the dirt with a street bike.. I managed to skid and my bike fell. Luckily it was only sand so nothing got damaged. Heheh

Product: Jabra BT620S
Desc: Light Bluetooth Mic/Headphones

Overal: 3/5
Ease of Use: 4/5
Sound Quality: 3/5
Comfort: 3/5

Pros: mic, headset, can pair with PC and mobile
Cons: control buttons are laggy, not comfy for people that wear glasses, sound quality is mediocre at best

Im sure if you have a few gadgets you probably have a rogue cable war raging on the surface of your work-desk. Here is what my desk is loaded with:

3 x Mobile Phone Chargers
2 x 15″ LCD monitors
1 x 4 port KVM Switch (PS/2)
1 x 2 port KVM Switch (USB + Audio)
1 x Macbook Pro
1 x IP Phone
1 x Zalman 5.1 Headphones (Long Cable 5.1 Surround Sound)

So yeah its a total mess, and on top of that I’ve nearly killed 3 co-workers cause they kept tripping over my headphones cable(thats cause I sometimes walk into the meeting room to smoke a cig, still wearing the headphones listenin to my tunes) . Dont get me wrong the Zalman’s are very nice clear headphones, but the problem is it almost weighs more than my motorcycle helmet. *grins*

So I thought to myself wouldnt it be nice if I could find some good affordable wireless headphones? Few days later I purchased the Jabra BT620S from a mobile store. (I’ve been told there are Jabra Distributers in Kuwait)

Ease Of Use:

For a techy like me, installing/pairing/configuring was a breeze. Though I could image that the average non-tech savvy person might have to struggle a bit. Moving on….

The Sound:

The sound quality is average, but not bad, not great either. If you listen to tracks with heavy bass in them and you like it very loud then perhaps this headset is not for you. At max volume the bass starts to produce a “crackling” sound. I mediated this with just keeping a slightly over medium volume, enough to drain out the constant chatter of the drones I have to work with, but not too loud so as not to distort the songs Im listenin too.

Comfort:

“Cool and comfortable behind-the-head neckband wearing style” - LOL

Although the headphones are quite lite, they are not exactly the most comfortable. This may be especially true if you wear glasses, as the frame of your glasses will be pressed against your ear from the slightly tight fitting neckband.

Misc:

• Talk time: 16 hours
• Standby time: 240 hours
• Weight: 3.53 oz
• Music Streaming

Why you should buy these:

If you need simple bluetooth headphones, that “get the job done”.

Dont buy these if your looking for the ultimate wireless headphones that are very comfortable, and have amazing audio quality.

Misc Notes:

If you lock your workstation while using the BT620S, you will loose all controls, but the audio will still play, controls re-activate when you unlock your station.
