Have you ever had the feeling you wanted to rewind time and go back to cheap headphones? - Page 3

I will be satisfied with the T50 for quite some time.

 ..... where have I heard this before ..... (just kidding with ya).

 

Enjoy the Senns - but don't sell the SRH840s - you may find yourself eventually going back to them again.  Still regret selling mine.  Here's my advice - stop buying gear for a while, and start buying music.  Far more satisfying - and you can always upgrade your gear again at a later date.  Enjoy what you have for a while. 

 

I'm not ready to spend 2700 on Stax, so there's not really anything else I'm interested in. T50rp will keep me satisfied for quite some time I imagine. Not much else can extract more detail...

 

I forgot the KGSSV! I'm not ready to spend 1100 or so building one either! Although I would love to!

 

Which part was confusing to you?

 

First of all, I say I suspect. Second of all, who doesn't want the same quality at a lower price? Third of all, I wan't talking about you specifically. Unless you can prove my statement wrong, I find your statement puzzling as well.

 

Even in the case where you did prove my statement wrong, that would still be perfectly consistent with what I said because I clearly indicated the statement that'd followed was only my opinion which I had doubt over.

 

My goal was to point out the OP's poll question needed some clarification as to whether "rewind time and go back to cheap headphones" meant going back to the cheap headphones that I previously own inclusively, or it meant going back in time to when I had less money and owned cheap headphones including cheap headphones that would be better than the ones I had owned before.

This part

 

 

I know it's your opinion - you stated that clearly.  I even highlighted the piece I was referring to in my reply.  I'm still puzzled why you would think the majority of people here fall into the above category(s).

...ok, I could literally buy my car 12-13 times over for that. What...the heeeeeeeeeeeeellllll.

That cabinet wood better have come from the true cross, otherwise, that's some bull$@!# right there.

I could hire the bands I wanted to listen to to come play in my living room.

...but I digress. Yay, headphones! Suddenly, a V200 doesn't seem quite so expensive.

Well, if I can rewind time, I would skip the W4 and go straight to TF10 / UE700.

I'm staying under $200, unless i try some 325i or something that blows me away at a meet, forget it. I'm going to try all the budget Kings that are out there. FA SB or Eterna, Koss Pro DJ, T50RP and SRH840 are next on my list. Even if there is better, i'm sure it's only by a small percent and you probably need an expensive amp+ Flac which is a no go when i like portability.

And what would I do with all the money itching in my pockets? Use it to fill mats and pillows?

Nah, I want the good stuff...

This hobby is way too much fun to go back.

 

So, you are saying you're not in that category of people who would be willing to have cheap(er) headphones that sound as good as your mid-fi setup? If you like saving money, then you fall into the first category as me, if not, then you're just an exception. There's nothing wrong with being in the minority.
