Finally! I spotted a cute girl with BIG BLACK PHONES on around campus today! She walked by and I though "Senns, must be Senns" - but *doh!* - I was so wrong! El Cheapo Vivancos! ( http://www.vivanco.com/ )

Okay, I was wrong, but hardly disappointed, it would have been too good, if you know what I mean... at least she was smiling, and I bet this was a "yes, I know I look cute with these" kind of smile.

Nearly sounds like you were more excited about the phones than the girl

I guess I really was. Should I be afraid? Do I need therapy? "Hello, my name is Oliver, and I'm a HeadPhone-addict"...

At the Raiders vs. Titans game on Sunday, (it was awesome BTW) I actually saw some KSC-35s, KSC-50s, and one set of Etys (not sure if it was the ER-4P/S or ER-6)

was in the library today... some dude was watching intently as I quietly put together my system. I wanted to throw my textbook at him because i knew he was probably laughing at my gear.

I sat there w/my NJB3, CHA-47, & Ety ER4Ss. I didn't really care what he thought. And I wouldn't have heard what he has to say, .

he followed me out of the library and as i left the doors, he walked up to the side of me, pulled out his jukebox and his BOSE headphones. I was using every ounce of strength to stop myself from laughing. HE made fun of MY gear? HELLZ NO!

by the way, my school must have had a major donation from sony because every audio/visual library has sony headphones. I brought my KSC-35s into the music library, hooked it up to the rack, had the guy up front throw on Brahms' 3rd symphony for me, and I couldn't believe the quality of the amps they use. If only they had decent headphones to go with them.

Where are you getting them from?

 

[bong]

i've ordered it from audiocubes, although they seem to be out of stock until the end of this month.

i'm still waiting patiently, it sould arrive the first week of February. CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER... NEED MY HEADPHONE FIX... its an addiction, i tell ya!

I only ever see the crappy street styles up in salem, ma. I just can't understand why people can do such a dis-service to their ears by wearing those monstrosities. Sometimes i just feel like walking up to them and saying JUST SPEND THE 15 EXTRA AND GET SOME PORTAPRO'S!!

 

[krayzie]

Just a sighting notice from today at the subway... I saw a guy with a pair of MDR-E565 on... gosh that's sweet... if he had 484s on instead I would have instantly stopped him and try to swap him with my 888s hoping that he doesn't know stuff... LOL!

well regarding that last post i like cheap/free music I can't seem to replicate hardware in the same manor so i don't mind paying for good stuff.

Back to the subject at hand, i wore my D66s eggos to the mall last weekend but I didn't get much reaction from people. oh well

 

[kerelybonto]

I was sitting in class the other day and some kid had a pair of Koss UR-40s with him. Something different from the normal Sonys, anyway.

I wore my Grado SR-80s to that same class and a friend described them as looking like 'United Airlines 1950s standard issue,' which is probably somewhat accurate. He did, however, think they looked cool, so I guess it was 'United Airlines 1950s standard issue' in a good way. ... That reminds me -- another friend thought my Grado HP-1000s looked like 'something off a World War II submarine.' I don't know if I just have particularly imaginitive friends or if Grado has a design department that goes for the vintage-utilitarian motif.

Theres this impulse inside that I want to say hi the people that wears good headphones. Ive been seeing lots of adults (people going to work) wearing ktx-pro. Their ears must being having a fiazzco with the sound.

Whenever I try to introduce me to myself, I always end up breaking my hand trying to greet myself w/a handshake. oh well. I guess I'll never meet another ety user at my school.
