    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...

    Looking for some on-ear for-home-use-only phones

    So a year ago I had a lot of fun choosing my sennheiser HD-25-1 ii, which have been absolutely perfect.   EXCEPT.   1. They aren't comfortable for all-day listening. 2. I'm beginning to hear a few things that I wish were different. 3. My music tastes are evolving a lot.   So, I like...

    Innovative Technology Countertop Bluetooth Speakers. Are you *serious?*

    Effing Walgreens. Walgreens?   I don't have a lot of money, neither does my spouse. We're poor college students. She knows I'm particular about sound. This was the best she could afford. But before I get into that, I'll say that our big gifts were last year. This is only slightly relevant but...

    Reducing the sibilance on HD 25s?

    So, as many of you undoubtedly know, Senns, although wonderful in every other way, are extremely sibilant. I know, everyone is going to say "get the HD 650 cable"   Is that the best way to get a general improvement in the sibilance? Oh, and while I'm at it, what else might I do to improve the...

    Remember when I said I'd *never* buy IEMs?

    I'm a line cook by night and a student by day, and I am getting tired of lugging around my Sennheiser HD-25-iis. I guess lugging is an overstatement. I think I'd like to have more room in my bag for the five thousand books I have to bring, and also not wear my 249.00 phones in a hot, stinking...

    Binaural beats

    Has anyone ever had any experience with this? Often it's got ambient music over it, but sometimes it's just whatever frequencies they use.   I was wondering if people can personally attest to this kind of thing having any actual affect on consciousness and also, what type of headphone might...

    Someone fluent in japanese, help me out.

    Okay. First and foremost, I'll recommend this artist because his music is pure raw intense emotion spilling out of his hands and mouth like water. Kazuki Tomokawa.   Anyway, he has a song called Tou-gen from the album Dance a Bonodori Alone [track 5]. The first time I heard this song I got...

    dealing with painfully low production values?

    So, let's say you want to listen to reek of putrefaction, but it sounds unbearably awful because they let farm animals mix the recording?  I know there must be some way to improve the sound, reduce the distorted bass and other weird crackling noises. I've tried fiddling with the EQ manually, and...

    Most bizarre album of you've heard? [any genre]

    I was listening to Thergothon yesterday, and I dozed off. I guess the gentle sounds of Thergothon's peaceful gurgles made me sleepy. Anyway, I woke up sort of hazy a little while later and the cd hadn't ended. It's simply the most strange, surreal, dream-like cd I've ever heard. It feels like...

    this time I'm going to get something GOOD.

    This is bothering me enough that I've put down my neurolinguistics textbooks and joined the forum.  I've been buying Sennheiser headphones for a while now [HD 238, HD 428, a few others] and after the 238 and 428s broke, it dawned on me that whenever my spouse asks me why I always 'need' to wear...
