well, i have to say, this is probably the most addicting reading i have ever done on the internet. in the past week, i have converted myself from a happy fool with his ipod earbuds, into a full blown geeked-out audiophilliac with a nasty case of upgraditis, and i really havent even begun my buying spree.
i got the idea that i needed noise cancelling headphones, cause i had used some on an airplane ride, and they worked good. now i live in hollywood, and i wanted somethign to help drown out the sespool of honking and muffler backfires. so i went to best buy to get some cans. rookie mistake number 1. and then after trying to discern which piece of crap was the best of all the crap they sell, i bought Phillips noise cancelling( shudders to think back to those dark dark days...only 2 days ago). they started cramping my skull after about 5 minutes. thats when i began my exploration for something to satisfy me, and thus here i am. (intrudeces myself to the imaginary crowd of fellow can addicts) Hi, my names such and such, and im addicted to headphones.
Then i went to a local sound shop and spent an hour getting to know the line of Grado's. Wow! i totally popped my aural cherry. i had no idea such things existed. so i got some sr60's, cause i wanna work my way up, and learn to appreciate what it is that i like about them.
anyhoo, nough bout that. just rantin. my first post here.
im really glad these forums exist, as the amazon.com reviews are all over the map and very disorganized.
i tried on some HD280's today and thought they clamped down a lot, maybe from the weight, or just a tight band. the AKG240's were much more relaxed on my head. can you wear the 240's a long time without fatigue?
