I have given up recommending any kind of headphone because everybody
perceives sound differently since their ears and head are uniquely shaped.
(Let alone the effects of different sources in varying environments.)

Headphone shopping is a crap shoot and you just have to piss away a lot
of time and money trying everything out until to find what you like.

Other peoples opinions are worthless.

Goodbye cruel world!

Wow, didn't take that one long to figure it out.

Congrats! See you on the next side.

You've been a member for 8 days?

Have you tried angling the SONY MDR-E10 buds outwards yet?

this leads to the ultimate question, what is the point of life...

answer: to set off for the ultimate quest to search for the answer

why is there head-fi?

answer: to satisfy the people who's on their ultimate quest for headphones...if we could all find what we want, we wont' be here, or maybe, some of us just likes the idea of searching...

i spent $300 for a pair of 325i.
but last night i found that PX100 is just worse than 325i about 30% and the most important thing is, i dun really think PX100 is bad and i love it too.

how can i explain?

It is good for you though to quit

You're totally wrong. Nothing sounds better than the factory Creative Zen headphones with a peice of ham wrapped around them.

I'm surrounded by proles!

(just kidding)

 

[RedLeader]

mmmm... hambuds...

I think people are bashing the guy cause he's being obvious but inappropriate. If members didn't recommend phones or write reviews and crap (biased or not), then no one would have anything to go off of. Yeah it's a crapshoot, but so is everything else in life. When I first came to head-fi and knew jack about jack, people gave me an "idea" of what I might like based on preferences, price, comfort. If they didn't, I'd just be looking for a needle (or two) in haystack. I had to put in my own effort to find a right one. Notice I didn't use "the".

We've all gone through this, and that's we try to help noobs and the like.

It IS true that some with the same listening prefences listen to similar phones. That's a good thing, cause you can recommend as such. Course the opposite applies. There will always be those who like grados for classical and orchestra, or senn for rap, ety's for headstage, etc. Everything is subjective, but there's always at least a bit of truth to certain stereotypes/consensuses. But if people just stopped giving a damn and didn't help anyone cause of the whole f'ed upness of this whole hobby, then what'd be the point of this site being here?

Course, I think the OP was just saying that he was leaving and I/we read too much into his post. Or maybe we were close to the truth, I dunno.

you don't say..I find HF1 sounds beautiful with Mauler #3 and I like my HD600 with pop...

and I did find ety soundstage accurate when I had the er6i...

Edited your post for truth...

It's all personal opinion, as I learned in my search for IEMs. moot point for me, my parents wont let me spend that much on headphones anyways...

The best thing to do is to go to a store and try different 'phones out, but there arn't any stores near me that do that.
