Now that I'm in PolyU maybe I have lots more stuff to post here

My sound design teacher has a pair of DT770 lying around in his office, and there are DT250-250s and AKG 240DF's in the studio.

There's one classmate with D22 eggos and another with the Sony V300

The rest of the class, as far as I can tell, don't listen to music

Haha

I went to an entrance interview at this college and the only headphones i saw were two v6's. One crappy cd player for a source on one of them. Other source was in the guys jacket.

here in hawaii i've only seen a pair of Sennheiser HD202's on this ugly chick. she was screaming and singing to the tune of some rap song obnoxiously to her friends which made me think, "why do retards buy such quality name phones?"

I am a poker dealer in Las Vegas at the Bellagio. We have alot of "poker pros" that come in every day and play. Its their job. And alot of them like to wear heaphones to kind of tune all the ******** out. And to keep them from getting bored and playing a bad hand out of sheer bordom. One guy bought a pair of ety ER-4P's for his I-Pod and showed it to a couple of guys, now there are about 5 different guys that have etys in the poker room on a regular basis. Not including myself. I see alot of those sony mdr-ex70?? I dont know the model number. The ones that some people say need the holes taped up. I saw one guy with a set of HD-600's and a mint amp hooked up to a mini-disk player. I wanted to ask him if I could give them a try, but he lost like $2,000 just in the half-hour that I dealt to him. So needless to say, by the time my half-hour was over and I would be able to ask, I wasnt his favorite person. If looks could kill I would have been dead. I also watch the Howard Stern show on E! some nights, and I cant see what Howard has on, but all the guests get sony v-7xxx. I dont remember the exact model number but they are not the v-700's. They are the ones that are similar to the v-6's. You all know which ones I mean.

waltermeyer, i think you're talking about 7506. and damn i miss the bellagio poker room. especially comped strawberry julius in the poker room and cigarrettes out at the blackjack table.

i used to go there every other month or so at least when i lived in los angeles. it's been a long while now though. i actually remember a few times that dealers have told me to turn off my cell phone when i've had my etys in. good to hear you're spreading the word.

 

[waltermeyer]

Oh my God! Those strawberry julius's are so ****ing good! And if and when you make it in next time, I work M-F 11 am. to 7 pm. My name is John. Everyone knows me as John W. Ask the floorperson when you put your name on the list, they all know me. Glad to hear from a poker player! Hope to run into you one of these days.

well in my current incarnation as a med school student, it seems like vegas is 10,000 miles away. but i'll keep you in mind for when i finally make it back. i'm brian and i'll probably be wearing porta-pros and overplaying the hell out of small pocket pairs and medium suited connectors. (hey, i said i played. i didn't say i was any good.

)

how long did it take for him to get through to you?

couple of ipod buds, innumerable street styles, there was one guy who had eggo d22's but now he uses some philips street style ones. one mdr-v6. one koss ksc-50, couple of people have those radioshack/koss pro-35's.

I just noticed, in a late-night-german phone-talkshow the moderator uses the Ultrasone HS-650 Headset

It's kinda strange though, cause he only uses them to talk with people. Maybe he has them cause of the low electromagnetic emissions or something

In the opening to the new season of SNL, Jimmy Falon rides the subway and as he gets on he puts on a pair of ATH-A900's

 

[bln]

I caught a very quick glimpse of Jimmy Fallon during that opening scene and I was wondering what kind of headphones he was wearing. A surprising choice for the subway, if you ask me.

Everyone in Hawaii uses buds . . . closed cans are pretty hot in the sun. I think it is Sony's advertising "ultimate bass with titanium duofold engineered drivers" that makes people buy those w.ears and such. I myself thought my 8.99 Panasonic buds were unusual, as they were yellow, and expensive, as compared to $5 ones, which is what most people pay for buds here.

I have a pair of e3's, but I can't use them in public as people
cannot believe how expensive they are when they ask
can't tell the difference between the sound and their sony's
think it looks stupid putting them on
think the e3's looks stupid itself (I admit it does stick out a little . . .)

They think their clip on sony's are the ultimate phone.

So now, I use my px200's as a socially acceptable phone which I think looks pretty cool but someone recently informed me they look strange.

I normally carry an extra pair of phones for my friends when they wanna listen to music either mx300's (free) or koss 50's ($11). No one ever comments on the quality of the sound, when I ask doe it sound good (say for px200's) they look surprised and reply, uh, yeah?
