I saw someone wearing a pair of Grados around their neck on the way to class. The kicker...modded pads
! I was already late to class, so I didn't have time to stop.
So how do we signal another Head-Fi member in public without looking like a total dork for interrupting their music, making them take off their headphones, and babbling about crazy user names on some internet forum they've never head of? Secret handshake? Special wave? Salute? Bird call? Interpretive dance? Messages encoded in rhythmic pelvic thrusts?
I've seen Grados in public before. But I mean, Grados with non-standard pads...there are probably few people in this world that have replaced Grado pads that aren't either Head-Fi members, or friends of Head-Fi members.
I have this habit of checking out everyone's headphones as they walk by(people must think I'm crazy). I see Grados occasionally. I usually stare them down to see what model(I'm not enough of a Grado geek to separate SR-60s and SR-80s at a distance
). One guy last week gave me a weird look for staring at him. But for the most part, people are too caught up in their tunes to notice.
I've seen 3 people on 4 occasions wearing Grados over the past week. I've got to do something!
