Voted, not surprised by the numbers of college/grad/working 20+ yr olds. (i am in that range) But, I am surprised with the teens loving sound (makes me feel younger) haha. Peace out

There is one title above Headphoneus Supremus. Its Headphoneus Tendonitis, after 50,000 posts. Instead of the free Orpheus phones, you get the black Mercedes.

Is the turn over rate for members high enough do you think that head-fi won't see much aging of the community over the next five or so years? It seems enough old members drift off into speaker-fi or just get bored as new members join, so I don't think there will be much community aging.


It will be interesting to watch though.



nailed it.

I voted, and I'm very surprised by the results...I'm also surprised at how few folks have voted...is this a small community? I didn't think it was with folks from all over the world on here...interesting...

Actually, despite any turnover, I'm still surprised, and glad, at how many numbers we have in each category. It's nice to see a spread.

Indeed. However, re-ask yourself that question in a few decades. You "might" answer it differently in the future.

Could we impose a daily limit?

Or at least a requirement that posts are more than "LOL" or some form of repeating the title. Sheesh!
