Q701. At school.
Seriously What is up with AKG, Monster got some "artists" so AKG went and got Quincy Jones and came out with a sick green K701? Really?



Time to steal them!

Sucks how all I see at SDSU are Beats and iBuds. There are occasionally Skullcandy headphones but meh. Waste of time talking about those :)

Some ibuds, but not a single beats. Seems people in the morning have better taste.

Saw someone in my P.E. class wearing an ATH-m50 around his neck and thought if he was into Head-Fi but I didn't bother asking as I was too busy running a mile.

A guy in my Digital Storytelling lecture was wearing some Aviators. I asked him how they sounded and he said "So much better than Bose" like i was supposed to be impressed.
 
I gave him a blank stare and said "Uh, I got a few AKG's...."
 
His turn for the blank stare....and again when I asked him if he used an amp.

The Aviator is surprisingly good for a Skullcandy.

Spotted a set of XB300s and some unknown circumauarl phones with a blue single sided cable, didn't spot any branding but didn't look like SK/Bose, maybe I'll see them again tomorrow

That's just product placement.
On a similar note, saw some fostex t50rp being used for voice acting recordings for new HoN hero.
