First sighting! Almost forgot, because I found my car battery dead right after that. Anyway, somebody I used to work with had a pair of Beyerdynamic 770. Sounds like she uses them for transcription work.

Just saw Gareth Emery live in Scottsdale, AZ.  He was using Sennheiser's HD 25-SP II.  What a man.

While visiting my favorite YouTube haunts, I came across this video from the makers of Auto-Tune the News:

They're both using Shure SRH240. The sound in most of their videos is hideously strident in the lower treble. Now I know why:

One of roommates (whom I'm kinda stuck with since I'm in Afghanistan) recently showed me some skullcandy headphones that he got from someone else. That was about a week ago when I started reading head-fi. So I tried them on and listened to one of his songs...and it just sounded like a bunch of noise. Lows seemed non-existent. He then told me that these headphones get him pumped. I didn't say anything back, but I just thought to myself, "You've got to be kidding me..."

Finally somethin' decent today:
One (1) pair of ADDIEMs
One (1) pair of B&W-P5
On the same bus, the two men embarked from the same station.
This is a good day.



To me, P5s are just the hipster equivalent of Beats.

I saw a handsome man on the train in NYC wearing edition 8's with alo mods.  He was running an I-pad into a headroom portable desktop.  Oh wait that was my reflection :)
