My dad has been listening to my headphones (modified Fostex T50RPs) as I mod them.
The funny thing is, his face expands every time he listens to them after I finish another mod. What I mean is, his smirk widens, causing his whole face to get bigger.
It may seem funny, but let me tell you... at times it gets tedious when I see him walk upstairs, because I know that he will proceed to head to my room just to listen to my headphones. He does this at random times during the day when he really wants to get into his music.
Lately, he said "these sound so life-like!" and I do agree; it puts his current setup to shame, even though he spent $300 for a nice portable Sennheiser headphone.
Me? I spent $74, and a few more for mod materials. Talk about cost efficiency.
It seems now as if he wants to snatch my other stock pair from me and mod it himself. He jokes with me about it, but I can tell he's serious. Hahahaha.
Now, I do admit that these orthodynamic headphones beg for endless tweaks. If you don't already know about them, well, you should.
