Take a look at the first segment of the video... it's beautiful... and I can only say "where the heck is that?!" lol
Well, I know where it is. But it's a pretty specific area nonetheless.

Lolut?
 
I'm still writing up my Alpha Dog impressions.
 
My Intended Use:
From the portable rig, which was what I was originally intending to use the Alpha Dog for, the sound was not too bad. Of course it does not sound as good as the desktop rig (see Objective 2 vs C5 comparisons), but it's still quite passable in terms of sound quality. Now I'm not saying this is a really portable headphone to bring along with you. The cables are thick, non-pliable, hard to manage (the Y-split of the cable reaches my navel), and have lots of cable microphonics (I think the connection from the cable to the earcup wiggles, so you hear all the noise from there); you can see the sides of the earcup when you turn your eyes to the side; the 3.5 mm adaptor sticks out like a sore thumb (unless you use an extended adaptor); and the whole rig is just big and heavy with signs of it being anything but portable. If you consider this a portable headphone, then you're crazy. On the other hand, these headphones are really, really comfortable to wear! Despite its large mass, the earcups have just enough clamping force to stay on my head comfortably and they is plenty of room for my ears.

If you meant the casing on the lower left corner of the picture, high chances that no, it's not the guts from that piece of gear.
 
In Asia there's a lot of premium priced magazines (i.e. $30 in Lugia's case, no pun intended) that will have a boxed something attached to the magazine issue. Depending on what kind of magazine, it can be a reusable tote, a tool, a fashion accessory, or electrical equipment like that DAC.
 
In otaku/manga/anime/eroge related magazines you can get smaller tapestry, cups, towels and etc. all with special prints on them.

  After eating a Butterfinger candy, everything just sounds so smooth.
 
On the other hand, if you eat a bag of Skittles, your opinion of a headphone's sound changes since you can't make up your mind about the "flavour" of it.
 
I prefer a Snicker's though because headphones become less power-hungry upon eating one.

Skittles totally colour the sound. Not recommended for consumption while using hi-fi systems.
 
That's not what I meant! Stahp!

  Wow, lucky. I get more promotions for a magazine that's I'm subscribed for the next 5 years. I'd rather get cute things like that. Or in my case, a wrench.

Yeah but they're pretty expensive for each issue. And sometimes the gift is so stupendously worthless for the extra they charge you.

Lolz, that's good to hear. Iono if I wanna go all the way over to the east coast though, that would be quite a spendy flight...
 
Also, what's up with that website having a Gay and Lesbian section under tourism? O.o

You must have amazing peripheral vision (fish? lizard? your choice) but truth be told, a lot of full sized headphones on the market are like that as well. And models that people wear out in the public/models that are popular with non-audiophiles. Though most of those aren't as heavy as planar magnetics.

Use your school's contacts and deploy the same sort in North America :D
I'm sure those already exist but I think in the West they are more generally associated with premium magazines you sign subscriptions with. The ones I am talking about can be easily found in book stores. Maybe not so much in small, family owned ones but you get the idea.

Oh. I totally forgot about this...
but Montreal also has a sector that's practically all gays & lesbians.
Something about the world biggest gay parade or something of the sort also happens here.
So I guess they want to cater to those kind of people too, as a 'hey, you're welcomed in Montreal!' kind of thing I guess.

Any business ideas done using the school's resources requires/entitles them to have a 'part' of your company or idea.

Sadly they don't sound that outstanding from a desktop rig. They are hard to flaw but not that special IMO.
 
I wear DT150 outside, the Alpha Dog is actually lighter and easier to wear outside than SRH840 too... Yes, I am crazy. x3
