@bangraman !! nice to see some familiar names in this thread. my two main headphones these days? modded k501 and sr225. I'm nostalgic...what can I say?

 

[fureshi]

I'm still using my KSC75 and HD650. Gotta get around to modding them someday since I'm so lazy about building new cable nowadays.

Think I joined in 2003 or before. For some reason created this current account in 2006.

Haven’t posted in along time since I haven’t change my headphones in over 10 years. I still use my AT L3000 at home and my UE10 at work everyday. Love my L3000 but just feel so so about the UE10. Once they finally die I’ll replace them.

I occasional check in just to see what’s new.

I didn't post much back then but I lurked and still have my k501 I bought in 2001 from Tyll at HeadRoom. I remember some of you.... maybe.... if I squint a little

Seems like every time I show up Head-Fi is running on new software.

Went without headphones for a few years, but just purchased a Grado RS-2i, which will run straight out of an Anedio D2. I like to keep things simple these days.

I've been recently rediscovering this hobby. I kind of moved on to speakers, but I put on my Grado HF-2 and boy did they rock. I'm sort of in the market for a new IEM, but prices, and number of drivers, these days are kind of crazy. Ah well, I'm going to go back trolling the resale forums...

I just looked at when I joined. 2009. Thought Oh. Not so long ago. Nine years is a while I guess!

Where did all the old school hp collectors go?

 

[Judge Buff]

Lots of us got tired of the elitist attitudes and don’t come around much anymore...

 

[purk]

Too much fanboyism...

it's become less of a community, more of a shopping mall and billboard.

i remember i was taking a break from headphones several years ago and Alex yanked me right back in with new hifiman and audeze hps.
and he disappeared from the scene.

Of course in the early days that wonderful "community" was nurtured, supported, and subsidized out of Jude's own pocket, a contribution of which I remain grateful.

+1... I drifted into speakers again.... still use my '04 880s for late night Movies with O2 amp and cheap 25ft. wire. T-1s, 650s, packed away in plastic bags, 701s never used after I bought them.

Right now, as a traveling laptop speaker set up, I'm using an old Pico Dac (because my damn Bluetooth stopped working) as a source for an old Bose SoundLink speaker.... mediocre sound

It’s funny...in the mid-late 2000’s it was the perfect headphone storm for me - I had very young children, which meant listening to music through speakers had to be pretty limited, and the whole iPod thing suddenly meant my whole digital music library could move around with me. I really enjoyed headphone listening during those years.

But now, a decade plus later, my kids are in college. I also work from home. And so I almost exclusively listen through speakers at home. I only use headphones on the road. My son uses my DT-880’s more than I do. I guess in the end when I have the choice, I really prefer to listen to music through speakers. And these days, I pretty much can do that whenever I’m able to listen!
