Johnny Cash's versions of Hurt and Highway Patrolman come to mind immediately. Bobes

I will not be able to attend on the 17th of May (damn finals). Please include me on the list for a Fall meet if there is still to be one. Bobes

personally PX200. Use the search function to see how I feel about them. my $.02 Bobes

I was at Borders yesterday, home of overpriced pop and fluff, when walking thru the jazz section, I spotted The Detroit Experiement CD. Being familiar with the Philadelphia Experiment disc, I popped on the cans and selected the disc from the listening display... immediately I was blown away...

Some great artists in these posts... I cannot find fault with any of the lists presented. The additions I would make are: Michael Houser Allen Woody

Can say that I A/B'd the SR60s and PortaPros... THought the Portapros while nice were to warm and did not have the clarity (read high-end detail) that SR60s have. That, and I didn't like how the metal hairband ate my hair...ocuh! Sold the PortaPros... Bobes

I'm a definite for Babylon but would still like to see Grado Labs. Bobes

Well, I'm obsiously jumping into this thread very late. I would be happy with a bi-annual meet, or the mall thing seems OK, too. Count me in as a definite for November in NYC (or May if we go that route) and a maybe for the mall... Anyone want a ride from Long Island? I'd be happy to bring my...

That certainly looks like an evil cat... would make excellent velour-like pads!

Great thread! Aside from the Johnny Cash Live at Folsum Prison, I have to say Widespread Panic's Light Fuse... Get Away! Possibly the best recording of a live performance every... a great mix of soundboard accuracy and audience energy! Bobes

I second the vote for the PX200s. I find that they are driven quite nicely from my iBook and reproduce music and DVDs very well. I cannot comment on their in-flight use, but I notice that they isolate pretty well for me. I've not tried them but the PX250s may also be worth looking into. Bobes

Based on the price points for the PX 100, I would expect these new "street-style-senns" to go for between $20 and $30. I have not actively researched these yet so I don't know if or when they will be available in the US. This is just a guess! Bobes

I find that placement of my PX200s is critical. The ear cups are so small that unless they are sitting just right, the character of the sound I experience changes. However I do not find the correct placement that hard to find, provided I am wearing them as designed... over the top of the head...

Joe, Had my driveway not been covered with 5 foot high snow drifts, and I had read the thread earlier today, I would have gladly battled the blizzard to help you shovel, in exchange for a chance to audition your headphone collection. I'm jealous but we're probably equally exhausted! Bobes

Don't know if it was ever an official song, but my vote goes for the Hampster Dance! Bobes
