I just have to share this recent story. I sent my girlfriend a link to a James Blake track (CMYK), she told me that she liked it. Later that day she came over, and I was listening to the same track on my SR80i's and I told her to give them a shot. You guys should have seen the look on her face, she had this huge smile and her eyes were wide open. I think she understands why I spend so much money on audio equipment. I might have convinced her to get a pair of SR60i's.

Your girlfriend gets +1 for James Blake and +1 for liking SR80is

Usually when people hear a 'flat' headphone, they don';t drop their jaw. I really like flat sound, but to really get regular people going you usually need a 'fun' headphone.

generally people arent that amazed when they listen to music out of my shure 840s (i know i have been giving them a bad rep but im not the majority) and i will put on a song i liek and there comments are usually "good song" then they take them off after a few minutes aggreesively to the point i don't let many people use them anymore. and gave them back to me. no one has ever said that tehy sound good. except for a friend of mine who said they sounded better then his skullcandy lowriders. .

I'm the original owner of 326, and I still love them just as much as when I first got them. They're by far my favorite (John) Grado, and yes, that means above the PS1000 and RS1.

I loaned out my 555s to my gf several weeks ago, and when I came back they they just sitting on the shelf. I figured she was not using them very much so I asked if I could get them back when I came the next week, the response: "NO! I am not done listening to them"
 
hahaha she does not know what she is hearing per se, but she likes it

I'd consider it a loss and buy some new cans.

Is the 326 you mentioned spelled this way-SR326?  I ask because it sounds like an intriguing headphone from Grado Labs.

I've had friends who use the white Ipod earphones try my Shure SE210s and they said "Can't tell the difference."  Obviously liars.  >:O

I recently went from owning SR60's and ATH-AD700's to hearing a pair of SR-007 MK2's courtesy of Woo Audio. Holy crap that was ridiculous - if the chairs weren't so uncomfortable and people hadn't been looking frustrated I'd have been there for hours.

Ethiopian coffee became my favorite shortly after buying a french press.  Incidentally, the person who introduced the french press to me (though I sort of knew about it before) is the same person who introduced this forum to me ...

this is a random post but I have a random reply, Ethopian is also my absolute favorite, and my parents always used a french press for it, it was amazing. Incidentally, my dad was a budding audiophile and introduced it to me before I could appreciate it. I feel like you have to listen to alot of crap before you can start truly appreciating the good stuff.

Thats is so true. I bet even with the best iems on the market people wouldn't hear a difference but once you take out m50s or any headphone, that when they start hearing a difference. its stupid.

Hmm, well if you consider that there might be a correlation between that and their preferred musical genre(s) it all makes sense.
