A Headphone Review for Otoge Lover

 

Almost two years ago, about three months after I left my hometown, I found myself in need for a good headphone. My old one is good, but it's too big for my head and it also didn't have a good sound. So I took my PC and browsed through the net. I really want a good headphone with clear, crystal sound for the sake of playing Otome Game and listening to drama cd, not to mention that I want a cheap one, considering my tight wallet LOL.

And so, after making an impossible wish-list containing several very expensive headphones, I took my ways to a headphone store, and asked the clerk "Can you show me any headphone under $50??" - simple yet effective way to stop myself dreaming a headphone that cost 5-20x more than the money I have in my hand that time .

To avoid conflicts, Maozoku lives secluded far from from anywhere. Their peaceful days ended when an army infiltrate their village in search for Yellow Scarf Rebels. Though the Maozoku have no idea about those rebels, the army leader Sousou forced them to choose: be annihilated for hiding rebels, or work under him to destroy the Yellow Scarves -thus proof their innocence.
