Hehe. There was this guy in my summer class listening to some Bose headphones (not sure which model), and he was talking to his friend, telling him how "legit" they were. His friend asks him "so are they as good as the Beats?" to which he replies "yeah, they're about the same... same concept" (??)... then his friend listens to them and goes "WOW! It's like having two subwoofers attached to your head!"
The funny thing is, i used to really really like bass in my headphones and music, but it wasn't really until I spent quite a bit of time here, that I realized the difference between bass quality vs. bass quantity and my tastes started shifting towards this mid-oriented zone or possibly closer to a more neutral zone. Now when I go and try out other headphones with really uncontrolled, bloated bass, it's almost unbearable to listen to. Oh how awareness changes your tastes.. Whether that's a good thing or not, who knows? It's quite possible that "ignorance is bliss." Maybe if I never came here, I could've been happy with a set of skullcandies.
