Victim? They are the chosen few whom he chooses to allow the greatness of his headphones to grace their ears!

Ahh well, I could have used a lot of words there. Victim just came out first. I guess victim would ring true if the listen got them started on an audiophile journey that ruined their relationship between themself and their wallet

Well fingers crossed to me, people in my class just rave about those default white aaple buds and the cheapo samsung IEM's that deliver "Monstrous" bass according to them, and when i tried out, was just a distorted piece of wrap

And this monday i'll let some selected people try out my xb-500

But it needs some amping, because it sounds bad from my mobile, better form my desktop and best out of the three from my laptop, will get an e5 or an e7 in the future.

I'm at a LAN party right now and everyone here is a fan of wubwubwubstep, so I'm showing off my XM6 + DT770/600ohms with a bunch of dubstep tracks. General reaction - "Oh my God."
 
Say what you will about people being general bass-suckers, but it sure is a great way to hook 'em.

Well there's never anything wrong with liking what you like.  Thing is that most folks don't listen to music from headphones more than 10-15 minutes at a time probably.
 
If you strapped a WUMPWUMPWUMP to their head and forced them to listen to them 3 hours a day for a week they'd find it gets old after a bit.  They'd probably buy K701's after that :p

Well, I let two of my friends listen to my rig.

iPhone -> CypherLabs Solo -> Stepdance -> ATH W1000X

One said, "wow" and smiled and said he wanted to buy my rig.
The other said, it's "ok" but like the beats better because ofcourse a $2000 rig will sound much better.

I guess the 2nd one had a point :p

My mom tried my recently acquired Stax SR404. She said don't sell these. I won't. 


You finally got a pair? Sweet.

I gave my friend my spare pair of CC51's. "Dude. This is like aural sex."
