After randomly chatting with a guy that noticed my Pro 900s at work, I got to thinking about my headphone journey so far and a thread I started awhile back.

So, it's been a little over a year now since I fell into this hobby. After being very casually interested in at some point getting some good cans, but not quite having the interest or money, on a whim I bought some lower end Grados that I'd heard about periodically for years. I started researching and browsing here regularly, eventually signed up, and over the first few months amassed a fairly decent collection of gear. I finished my initial collection, attended a meet, but kind of burned out from spending hours a day here for months.
Fast forward to the present. I haven't been here in half a year, haven't bought any new headphones since then, but I still regularly use half a dozen in my new collection. My time, energy, and money has gone into upgrading my guitar rig. Let me tell you, headphones seem like a deal compared to good guitars and amps. If you thought this place promoted bad GAS, avoid places like The Gear Page or Gear Slutz at all costs. I don't think I've reached headphone nirvana yet (maybe if I ever wind up with an SR-009 and Blue Hawaii amp years down the road), but I do seem to have staved off any major bouts of upgradeitis for now. It's been a nice journey so far.
