It believe it was Google search, when I was looking for a review for something. Don't remember exactly what I was searching for at the time though.

Owned: 2 triports

Broke: 2 triports

Bought: HD-600.

I had only handled them in a high end store, and knew that they at least wouldn't break. At the store they mentioned a "headphone amp" to which I replied "huh", and came home to do a google search.

I saw a deal on some SR-80s on slickdeals a while back and had no idea what they were. I read through the forum there, and saw people referring to head-fi. I just had to find out about headphones that would sound as good as people were saying and that cost that much.

Headroom--> Headwize--> Head-fi

Actually, it's like a big circle though now.

I followed a link on Engadget:

and ended up blowing half a grand on the predecessor the the Headroom Micro, which was announced on Head-Fi. I had bought Headroom gear before.
Of course, my wallet never recovered from exposure to Head-Fi.

Altavista search result. Google wasn't a hot item back then, but I chose Google in the poll as if it represented other search engines.

Cheers!

Riovolution (quite a few of the members of which find us head-fiers slightly nutty), and found Riovolution through... some sort of ipod site... don't even remember anymore.

There was a thread just like this back awhile ago.

A search on google; although I'm not sure if the search on google led me to headphone.com or headroom or headwize or head-fi or ilounge.com. Ultimately, though, this is the place I visit most of all of them.

I was searching "ipod headphone replacement" or something similar

I don't remember... it was a few years ago and I lurked for a good while before I registered.

I saw a few members deferring to Head-Fi so I checked it out and the rest is history. So if anyone here used to post (or still posts) on SharkyForums, you are responsible!

i was searching for spices in the west indies.

I had a HD565 Ovation for years. I upgraded the source and the 565 broke at about the same time. I picked the HD650 just by listening to all the ready-to-audition headphones at a major mainstream Hi-Fi store (the HD580 included). I bought it soon after that from an on-line store.

Thinking, well, this is something quite different

, I went googling - and I am still here.

Wow....ok, so I was over at SharkyForums and decided to dig up the thread that made me jump over to Head-Fi!

http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthre...hlight=Head-Fi

Now I know who's responsible for making me come here, it was a quad-combo of Gluegun, Hammerstein, kent1146, and Buster Sword!

I believe I was reading reviews on headphones on Amazon and a few people referred to this fine site.
