    Advice about my mother: should I buy headphones.

    Back after failure and I have started college early. Had my stomach pumped. Since then I have won a large (large) sum of money. I still dont think I will come here often anymore. Just figured I'd post after reading the thread. Currently in therapy. Moved into a new place, no internet.

    Advice about my mother: should I buy headphones.

    Obviously I am just not good enough to please the older generations. Maybe I should just kill myself. have a nice life.

    grounding issues

    You can tell if the current cord is grounded by pulling it out and seeing if it has three pins at the male end. (and if the part you plug it into on the amp has three also).

    Advice about my mother: should I buy headphones.

    Typical graduation age is 17/18 depending on what side of the country you live. Average degree takes three and a half years (some taking as much as 8). I just turned 20 and already have a degree, but job opportunities have fallen through because I have RSI and as such can no longer do gigs. I...

    Advice about my mother: should I buy headphones.

    Is it wrong to appreciate your mothers opinion at 20? Is it wrong to ask opinions on what to do at 20? I didnt know things were so concrete, considering I turned 20 on sunday. I wish someone had warned me so I could have prepared! Forgive me for sounding amazingly poor, but $500 is a lot of...

    Advice about my mother: should I buy headphones.

    To clarify, im 20 and a graduate of a conservatorium. Im just returning to do a "regular" course at uni after several life complications that have landed me back at home and in the need for a steady job that doesnt require intense finger movements. I also have about $900 of spare change, about...

    Advice about my mother: should I buy headphones.

    Sup. My mother does not seem to understand investing quality amounts of money in products, especially headphones. At the moment I own the DT770pro and an etymotic ER4P (which I won for free). I have enough money to pay for the costs, but will need to use her credit card. She will not like...

    What sennheiser headphones should i get?

    Help me pick my upgrade

    the AD900 is a great suggestion, it doesnt NEED an amp, and will still get benefits from there being one. its not huge on bass though... IMO the STX is overrated, and theres people running very hungry phones from it. They might as well run them from an ipod because it simply doesnt deliver that...

    What sennheiser headphones should i get?

    none of them. I dont like any of sennheisers "affordable" options (but the very very expensive options are very nice).

    Xonar Essence STX over the Prelude 7.1?

    meh. The STX is ok for most people but it might not be to your tastes as it is very in your face with its sound signature (flabby, flabby mids). I have one, and I do not particularly like it. I used to have an EM-U 0202 (i think thats the name) that sounded better. Other than that, the STX is...
