Basically these products will not rival your Shure, Bang & Olufsen, or Bose. However, they are quality products representing great value, with a touch of “designer” aesthetics, which is extremely rare at this price point. That’s why I think they have got a winning formula. If you are interested in any of their products but they are not available in your country, check this out.
Note: All prices quoted are in Singapore Dollars (SGD) and I am a proud owner of a Ear Pump, and plan to get a Sonic Space once the “boss” gives approval.
Neowster is short for Noel's & Esther's Own World. This is a personal hobbyist site, maintained mainly for the purpose of honing my knowledge in WordPress, and sharing useful information or knowledge to make someone's life easier. To a smaller extend, I hope to propagate the ideology of Crowdsourcing, as I see it as the best mechanism in regulating our unregulated capitalistic world, overcoming humanity's trait of greed, self interest, and fear, in arriving at the best decision.
