The Unknown Shapes EP might still be free. There shouldn't be any distortion when DLed.
 

It's the YouTube compression. Don't worry.

Oh good, I didn't realize that the low end could be distorted that much, but I didn't listen to music with that bass quantity.

waitt till u hear more songs from youtube then u will know what/ how much some youtube songs are distorted. Due to users uploding bad MP3's along with the compression

Not very much a headphone reaction but more of a What is that thing under your iPod reaction.
A few days ago, I received my new E11 amp (with L9 LOD) and it's a wonderful match with my SE425, I like it very much. So much that I only listen to music with it.
I then took it to school and some of my classmates started asking what the hell it was. I explained to them what it was.
One said "wouldn't it break your hearing?".
I replied "well yes, if you're not careful with it."
Another one who's a Beats "borrower" (He didn't have them but he borrows it from somebody else for occasional listening) wanted to try it. He was quite astonished by my IEM (SE425 with Triple Flanges) commenting that they're crazy looking (he was actually scared and confused on how to put it on). After a brief listening, he had this surprised look on his face (I didn't know if he had a good seal or not) and was amazed that it was loud but very clear with the dial turned at 2 and a half.
Afterwards, another classmate wanted to try with his music and with his headphones (Cheap Koss UR10). After some listening, he smiled and said "This is great!" and then he asked me where and how much I bought it. I think he's very interested in buying one. BTW, he gave me a listen with his headphones but I didn't want to disappoint him (they were crap) so I said yeah, at least they sound better than the Beats Solo which he then nodded.
Then another one wanted to try it (he's a Beats Studio user). He plugged his iPhone in and his AKG K350 IEM and he's by far the longest one to have a listen. After some smiles and some "putain" later (I'm in a French school) he gave it back to me also asking where and how much I bought it.
 
I want to see the look on their faces when I finally get my hands on either the Audio-Technica ATH M-50 or a Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro in the middle of February.

I am a bad person.  Very bad.  I make people spend money on things they did not know they wanted.
 
In the last year and a half, I have come down with a case of Headphonitist.  I have to read/test/buy/talk about headphones all the time now.
 
And it is now spreading to my friends and family.  In the last few months, I have hooked LOTs of new people to the world of good sounding headphones.
 
Spending their hard earned cash on headphones they have me research for them.  I even have people coming back for seconds!  Then I get to researching...
and end up buying more stuff for myself.
 
I have also found myself giving headphones as gifts.  People LOVE them and then that also gets them hooked.  They want to know more about them.
 
 
One of my favorite things to do is sit them down.  Put on one of my pairs of headphones and play "The Virtual Barbershop" to watch their reactions.
I have yet to find a person who did not love it and come away amazed.  My favorite HQ link of it:  http://listverse.com/2008/02/29/top-10-incredible-sound-illusions/  (#5).

Oh gosh no SR60s or anything like that.  I just give out the "better" inexpensive stuff.  They are fun to give as gifts and they don't sound bad for the price.

hahathat would break the bank but i know what you mean

About two weeks ago my girlfriend asked why i had so much audio gear in my room. i figured instead of explaining id let her listen to a song i knew she liked in lossless format.
two weeks ago since i've seen those sr225i's.
she promised to give them back last week but "forgot" them.
i have the strange suspicion since last time she was round she was looking at my Denon AH-D5000, that those are the next to go missing.
i miss my Grado's 

 
 
 
 
And will soon (probably) miss my Denon's

Ha. thats pretty accurate xD
 
I still miss them though. would be good to get her hooked on high quality audio and have another join our ranks on Head-Fi though, right?
