I guess I'm lucky. I've gotten asked a few questions and I've never had anybody be rude or pester me unduly. On the other hand, I'm not quite on the level of some of the gurus around here, so I don't attract that many questioners.

 

I've seen quite a bit of it going on in the general equipment forums, though. I think a lot of people want there to be a simple, easy answer, and when they learn enough to figure out that that's not the case with headphones (or anything in this world, if it comes to it) they just get discouraged and write the whole thing off. In the mean time they've asked a dozen people for detailed information and then they decide not to do anything with it (and probably buy Beats).

I had to contact some nice people here because I cant buy anything if I dont hear someone's opinion first : D Sometimes I stress about being polite enough because my english isnt that good.

For example I got this one guy who's posting on this thread i put together who has been around asking about which pair of $40 headphones he wants to buy for OVER A MONTH!. I don't want to be rude to him publicly but c'mon. And to make matters worse, he pipes in on a recommendation I made to someone else on a budget headphone ($60 dollar philips uptown) and basically says I am wrong!..... he doesn't even own any HPs!

Pardon the ^... feels good to rant every once an a while biggrin.gif I am done now cool.gif

And surely whomever you asked was very grateful of your politeness. Don't get me or anyone wrong. You are MORE THAN WELCOME to ask members questions. Just a couple people we are talking about. Thanks and welcome to headfi!
