The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...
I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...
First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...
A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...
Painful thread. My place actually did burn two nights ago (google fire costa mesa...I lived in the upstairs condo...not my garage where it started, either). Anyway, can't answer the hypothetical but the firemen did take my headphones off of a rack in the living room (thankfully none were in my office) and put them under a tarp on the kitchen table. I've only checked the HD25s...as I wanted to grab something portable for the interim, and they seem fine.
Anyway, yep, plan ahead for stuff like this! I've dealt with emergency evacs when fires have swept through before (Laguna fire of '93 and San Diego county fire of 2003) but house fires in the middle of the night are a completely different matter!
Well, I'm actually facing a real scenerio like this. Hurricane Irene is coming right for us and I live in a trailer. We're leaving in 2 hours to go to my sisters until it's over, and then coming back not knowing if I will have a home still or not. I'm taking my Ultrasone Pro 900s with me.
Good luck, hopefully you will be able to return to your home with as little damage as possible done to it.

If I'm ever in this situation (hope not, knock on wood), my family and pet would be first and last. The fire can have all of my audio equipment. They are replaceable.
I really don't think this thread was started with any intention of being offensive. Some people are much too sensitive. Those same negative emotions you're feeling, are capable of being had by others when they're accused of being "stupid" and "tasteless".
That being said, I think it should be changed to something more cheerful, like "Which 3 headphones to take on a vacation out of country" or something.
We're are all different. Some people are not offended by this thread, some are. The ones who are offended, go away, don't post anything. This thread is only meant to be humourous. If you choose not to be amused, well...that's your choice.
