Upon initial listening with these buds, I was rather unimpressed as I heard the rather familiar bloated mid-bass, sharp highs, and lack of mids that SKDY's old line carried. Then I realized that...

All I knew was it was an old AKG.
I noticed that they still had the old (and arguably better) triple-cardioid design.
post #8283 of 90842/4/13 at 11:14amSaw a pair of Yamaha EPH-100s in my gym class today. Asked the owner why he was wearing $150 IEMs to work out with, just because I myslef and worried about the cable on my Klipsch X10s. He told me that the interesting looking triple flange tips they come with stay in VERY well.

This happened a few years ago, but it thought it would be worth mentioning. I used to be a background performer (extra) and on the set of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, the dude holding the boom mic was using Beats to monitor. I'm not kidding. More recently: Bose. Everywhere.

Quote:In that role he needs isolation and a signal, more than fidelity - so the beats actually probably worked ok, and about the same price as HD25 II's which functionally, for that role would have been the same ... but that is funny.
post #8286 of 90842/6/13 at 10:04amHa! I also saw some momentums for the first time today. Some guy on the bus, they seemed smaller in person though, but nicely understated in a stylish way.
Other than that porta pros and akg k518s everywhere. Occasional B&W and beats...

Yesterday I went to the gym (during the day) for the first time in months. Since it was packed, I hoped to see something good but NOTHING. NADA. Plenty of Ross / DD's / Walmart low budget - crazy colors - generic headphones.
Maybe there were some good iem's hidden somewhere, but as far as headphones my RP-HTX7's were still the kings of the gym. Imagine when I get my M100!!! Fools will be mirin hard or laughing at my "hipster" cans without any idea how good they are.

Last week I saw a guy using Westone 4, this week I saw someone else wearing Westone 4. Pretty surprised seeing them that often, since they cost quite a bit. Other mentions are the Apple Earpods, and more Beats.

Saw a parrot zik, looks sexy, never buying it though.
A couple of momentums, a full size sony XB series, dunno which one. Not bad Toronto, not bad.
post #8293 of 90842/6/13 at 11:28pmSaw an AKG K 99 and a Sennheiser 419. I always try to get a look at the names of people's headphones on the commute to the University.
post #8294 of 90842/6/13 at 11:42pmOn the train/bus this morning i saw three k518's (white,green,purple), a couple of Porta Pros, one beats studio and a ton of iBuds.
