Tell them spending money on headphones is a solid investment because you will never have a need to upgrade. In other words, lie.

Tell them it's your money and that they shouldn't have any final say in what you spend it on. That's what I am saying to my parents, at least.

Play some death metal (or if they know how to appreciate metal, then use My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion) on repeat over your computer speakers every day. Then casually let it slip that you've been thinking about getting some nice headphones for a change.

Given the lack of details you provide, there is no clear answer.  If you have plenty of free cash flow but just feel guilty about spending $1000+ on headphones, then just buy the headphones and hide the receipt.  If you still feel guilty, go to confession.  If you are about to miss a mortgage payment in order to buy some LCD-3s, on the other hand, then you should really be explaining why this all makes sense to a pyschiatrist.  If your situation is somewhere in the middle, interpolate between these two extremes.

That's great. But it's also a great way to possibly get grounded!

I find grado's ugly, but its still more beautiful than High heels I wonder how women wear high heels though :S
 

 

[DNZGamer]

I don't dislike heels at all. Women can keep them on all the time if they'd like  

My gripe is how much they spend on something they will use a few times and then put away in the closet and the nature of the product means it will wear done quickly if used.

Mine finally calmed down. Now she's happy that I have a hobby that I'm enjoying so much. Though, I haven't exactly told her how much I've spent... but then, it is from my discretionary/hobby fund.

Ahh the joys of an independent bachelorhood.

Of course there was deep sarcasm implied in my post. My wife lets me make decision occasionally...I'm pretty sure.

I have my own money but my parents are funding college (least for the time being), They don't know I spent $500 on used rs1i but if they find out and ask I can always say that if i need money they would sell for no more than maybe a $30-$40 loss at worst. At best I would break even or make like $5 lol.

Oh, to have the life of a student again...
