HEADPHONES!!!!

For everything bruh, I have some classical albums I want to give for a ride. I like the Sennheisers quite fine, but I'm looking for an open air experience. As for the portables, the sony clip ons I currently take to the gym can't even pick up acoustic intros, as the damn things don't press firmly enough to the ears. Talk nerdy to me.

 

[dorian gray]

Cool. Just curious.

 

[Reign in Acai]

How dare you not reply with a witticism!

 

[dorian gray]

I couldnt come up with one. Too depressed. Please forgive.

 

[dorian gray]

I know what you mean though...passages that I *know* exist will simply not show up on my shitty car system. It makes me think I'm losing my mind

 

[lurch70]

yeah car systems are usually the worst place for critical listening. no matter how good the system, you as a driver just sit in the wrong position for proper imaging. and I know there are supposed hi end system that compensate for that ... but come on ... the fucking speakers are at your knees in most cars.

How you liking the Senn HD280 pros Dorian? They're pretty damn solid in terms of picking up nuances. When it comes to highs, lows, mids, I'll take a line out of your playbook and say, "I don't even know what that means." Just let me hear every fucking note, whether it's as cold as a mother's embrace, or as warm as Kathleen Robertson's vajayjay, I honestly don't care. Just let me hear every friggin note, my mind will determine the temperature!

 

[lurch70]

the hd202 are pretty fucking detailed for the price as well ... I mean I hear the details in messes like Deathspell O ...
i can imagine the HD280's must be awesome.

oh btw
check this deal:

[dorian gray]

The Senns sound really good to me.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I have the HD203, good enough for me.
I dont use them very often, considering I have my own house and im alone.

love em

they are really unflattering to most music though so probably better in a studio/recording situation than for casual chill out listening (though i used them for that too)

 

[Reign in Acai]

Portapros= Gaymayzing, unless you're listening to an mp3, they really bring out the shittiness of the format.

I put these things on my bald skull and looked like Dan Ankroyd doing an SNL skit. Over a ball cap however, they look hip in a Jack Tripper sort of way. Excellent sound quality, considering I still listen to all my music on the go via a Sony Walkman.

 

[einride]

Sony Walkman

please tell me you mean the cassette tape version

(i still have one and have used it at least once or twice in the last couple of years)

 

[Reign in Acai]

Nah bruh, a D-E220 CD walkman. Fucking things are built like a tank, and allow me to listen to my collection on the go. I haven't collected cassette tapes since I was a pimply face teen.

 

[einride]

in my stuck-in-1997 brain, that's a sony DISCMAN

although im aware that's not accurate anymore

 

[einride]

i had this one (but in blue), it was boss as hell

actually afaik i still have it and it's in the rehearsal room getting approx. no use
