    I wish inverter type microwaves were standard. The vast majority of residential microwave ovens only modulate on like a 10 second interval. So you put it on power setting 3 or 30 and it will pump out full power for 3 seconds then off for 7 seconds. This works for things like defrosting meat, but a bunch of foods will still start popping and drying out in those few seconds. Inverter microwaves modulate many times a second so they can warm much more fragile foods without searing them.





  • Sony parts prices are insane. The urethane pleather on my headband started cracking on my xm4’s. A replacement headband was half the price of a new unit. So I ended up getting a silicone cover that will hopefully keep the pieces from flaking off into my hair. I also needed new earpads. Oem pads were around $40 for EACH side. The pleather just has a certain degradation time and once it hits, it all falls apart at the same time. Replacing all the pleather parts on my unit would have cost just as much as a new headset.

    I hate having something designed to be somewhat repairable but practically speaking it isn’t due to pricing.
