Been back at school for a couple of weeks now, and it's unbelievable the number of people who own iPods. It is Ivy League, so I guess it's not all that surprisingw with all the rich kids. After head-fi, I notice headphones and what not a lot more than I used to. What makes me laugh is the fact that almost all of them use the stock iPod buds. Not only do they use the stock buds, many don't even use the foamies, which just doesn't make sense. They don't sound as good and they're incredibly uncomfortable. I guess everything being white is more important than good sound.
A friend of mine at school is a big music lover and has a pair of Bose Triports. He tells me that my ER-4P's ("buds" as he calls them) are terrible and the Bose are great and a great deal for $150. I tell him about the lack of clarity and muddy bass, etc, etc, while he just laughs and mocks my "buds." I can only hope that once I get my MS-2s, I can make him see how terrible the Bose really are. He's heard some decent Sennheiser's too...I just don't understand. Very upsetting.
