There are probably many women who appreciate good sound and seek out good audio equipment. I just don't think they frequent forums like this one to talk (or gloat) about it!

It's only us dorky guys that engage in such trivial pursuits...

Bring on the flamethrowers!

I'm afraid you gentlemen mostly have it all wrong about women, as usual. It isn't that we don't love music as much as men or that we don't want the best equipment we can get, but while you all are surfing this forum boasting about your hi-dolloar equipment, most women are working two jobs to support their children or cooking dinner and dealing with the kids. As a news report I heard today stated, when women earn money they feel they have to give it to others, such as husbands (so they can buy MORE headphones

) or parents so they can afford their perscription meds or children so they can play school sports

. Silly us, I know!!

Yes, their are women "nerds" as one member mentioned, it's just that they are undercover most of the time, and again, have a tendency to give their money to others. I love my cx300s, SR225s, Vibes, ipod 80g, and go-vibe, along with other equipment, but I do have a life and rarely post on this forum. Couldn't resist this one though. The truth of the matter is that most women just don't have the time or money to invest in a hobby that seems so selfish (not that it is)! If more women would just take the time, it would greatly enhance their lifes, but family always comes first.

As a female I just have to reply. Pooh 831 makes some very good points. I am a singer and music lover. I'd love to have top notch headphones but because of living on dh's income I have to choose my family's needs before my own. When I decided I wanted new headphones I did my research. I chose the marshmallows and have been please. Now I want to mod a pair. I do have a nice stereo that was given to me a long time ago that I want to improve upon. However that is not a huge priority. The more I see people's systems on this site the more I crave. But alas those things will just have to wait. Oh, and I am a girl gamer and love gagets.

I am happy with what I've got (that's all that matters), though we'll see what transpires down the road. Maybe I'll go balanced next year.

Having now looked at your profile, I'd say your rigs are good enough to make most male forum members positively green with envy!

Rule #37, for those who don't know it:
There are no girls on the internet....ever.

Ahhh, my first post! I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks, but I'm happy to speak out and say that I'm a female with good taste in audio equipment. You'd all be surprised at my list of audio gadgets!

Well if you think that way I can't help.
I have called out the names because I have started this thread
to get to know about women responding, not me neither you.
Anyways I would make sure that this won't happen.

 

[EnOYiN]

I hate spoil the fun, but I am not a woman.

Nor have I ever been...just FYI.

Welcome to head-fi - sorry for your wallet

An average woman does not care about sound quality and would not think about it twice--just like an average guy does not care whether his shoes are the last fashionable model (although I do know some weird guys ). If it wasn't so, 50% of head-fiers would be girls, no? (And for many of us, life would be easier.) All of us are freaky, but head-fi girls are slightly more freaky than head-fi boys And in the grand scheme of things, none of this matters much.

It seems though that many guys, even around here are into sound quality. It seems to be more about gear under the guise of it being about sound.

I figured it was something like that, but since I really didn't know, thanks. I guess that rule's a little dated, huh?

I think this is a VERY selfish hobby. But one of the best as well. There's nothing quite as satisfying as hearing your favorite music on something that sounds great as to enhance the experience. Nothing wrong with helping yourself

the gf loves her sr60's

she even said "now I know why you spend so much on headphones"!
