I'm treating myself after an extremely negative life experience
I've got the v-modas for stuff like purity ring. For stuff like Cannibal Corpse, Marduk, Ahab, et cetera, I still need something. I'm going to demo the Grados tomorrow. And the Fidelios are on my list.- darwinvsjesus

Eexactly. It's really for different genres. But it's about experiencing the music in different ways.- darwinvsjesus

I'm treating myself after an extremely negative life experience
I have to reiterate that the brightness is not the issue -- it's when treble becomes to sibilant that it's sharp. The HD-25s are like that, mostly. But I still listen to them. From what I've read, Grado (also, how is that pronounced?) is a good choice to at least have. I have no intention of...- darwinvsjesus

I'm treating myself after an extremely negative life experience
I'd love to have a really good pair of IEMs. And I totally get the whole exercise thing. I have a congenital heart defect and I am not able to do any kind of running or anything. I am, however, going to be lifting weights. That said, the primary reason I'm looking for new headphones for now...- darwinvsjesus

I'm treating myself after an extremely negative life experience
I just want something different than what I have. I want something that will be immersive. I want something amazing. Something astonishing. I don't care about the money. For all intents and purposes, this is for my mental health. I feel like I deserve some good cans. Let me put it this way: ...- darwinvsjesus

Are the Audio Technica ES10 open back? is that (open back, I mean) something I'd actually want if I'm looking for a good soundstage?- darwinvsjesus

I'm looking for a place to audition them. I am currently living in a rather affluent part of NJ and I'm sure there's something around here.- darwinvsjesus

I'm treating myself after an extremely negative life experience
it's not that I want to avoid harsh highs, necessarily, but rather I found the sibilance of the HD 25-1 ii to be somewhat grating. But if the Grados have that same sibilance, then they won't do. I'm thinking something with a better soundstage. I've never had the pleasure of really hearing a good...- darwinvsjesus

I'm treating myself after an extremely negative life experience
Hey there. So my partner of 10 years and I just moved to another state. About four days after we moved she said "I don't love you anymore. I haven't loved you for years. There's someone else. He's coming to visit and I want you out". So, that blows. A little background. I have bipolar...- darwinvsjesus

why is it that all fantasy movies have dialogue in a vaguely british-sounding dialect? ….is it because it sounds more "old timey?" because it just sounds ******* stupid.- darwinvsjesus

I just watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure absolute garbage. Gandalf makes a golf joke? Burn the master copies, Peter. Why are there 3 Hobbit movies? Oh, I remember. Because there were 3 Hobbit books, right? RIGHT? ….nope.- darwinvsjesus

Rate The Last Movie You Watched
I just watched a film called ……... ready? ……… not a joke……. Sharknado. I will be referring to what I call the "derp level", the level of utter absurdity and fail throughout this review. In my view, derp level caps out at 9000. It's about a series of...- darwinvsjesus
