Nice to see Head-Fi mentioned in a big news article. ^_^
Well for whatever reason these are the de-facto standard forums for headphone discussion. A) It's a popular website with a lot of accounts and traffic. B) I don't know of any other purely headphone devoted websites that have forums.
That happy to sad face gets me every time. No matter the caption.
I was disappointed that it called Skullcandy a good brand, slapped myself when it talked about Bose and gave up when it mentioned Beats. *sigh*
But for some audiophiles, one set of headphones isn’t enough. Ronald Shmyr, a U.S.-based banker and a self-professed audiophile, owns several different pairs, each for a different purpose: Sony in-ear buds for music, Shure in-ear buds for athletics, over-ear padded Sennheiser headphones for comfort, and the full-size Bose for noise canceling. The newest addition to his collection is his favorite — the Bluetooth wireless Beats by Dr. Dre ($279.95, www. Beatsbydre.com). “They have great sound and great ease of use as I love not having wires,” Mr. Shmyr said. “They also have a rechargeable battery, and although the bass is a bit too much for my taste, the handy wireless feature is overwhelmingly worth it and makes up for that. They are amazing,” he says of the D.J.-promoted brand, adding that they may be the last set he buys — for a while anyway.
This guy gives bankers a bad name.

But apart from that the article sucked! Is this really written for the new york times, or is it a fake mock up version- the grammar and punctuation is weird.
