Do you ever get bored of your sound rig?
I found myself listening to my SR-325i today and I was completely bored. Normally they put a smile on my face but I almost wanted to think that maybe I made a stupid purchase even though I know these are great headphones. I guess this is why a lot of us are always buying new/different equipment...- volcomjerk
