I thought that the last headphone sighting was getting a bit long, so I decided to start a new one, if that's ok...
HEADPHONE SIGHTING TODAY!!!
I just started summer school yesterday at St. Francis High School in Mountain View. There are kids from St. Francis as well as kids from different schools. Some are taking it for credit (like me, cause I failed
), and some are taking it for enrichment. There are middle school'ers too, doing a summer program. All sorts of kids everywhere.
After school, In the front, I saw this girl my age (14-16, maybe a year higher or lower, years old) sitting on the bench, listening to these headphones. I was thinking, "Hmmm... are those Grados? No, that can't be--nobody my age, especially a girl, would know about Grados!" But I decided to take a closer look, to walk past her and steal a look without her noticing. When I got closer, I was pretty damn sure they were Grados. I asked, "Hey, are those Grados?" She said, "What?" I said, "Those headphones." Then, to my utter disappointment, she said, "Oh, I don't know. My dad gave them to me." Then I said, "Oh. Those are SR-80's! Very nice headphones... expensive..." (expensive to non-head-fi'ers) She said thanks, as her ride came to pick her up.
Wow, my first headphone sighting, and it was a Grado! Her dad must be a head-fi'er. So if you're a father of a daughter that's taking a summer program at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, then speak up!
