Gave my friend a pair of those Monoprice earbuds... He was freaking out, then just sat with a blank look on his face and a excited look in his eyes staring for about 10 minutes, took 'em out and says 'i'll never be able to listen to those apple whites again.' Anyways, I just so happened to have 4 pairs of them, (xP) and i'm pretty sure I made about... 4 conversions today.

Doesn't it seem that head-fi is lonely at the moment?

I let my roommate listen to my MS2i's. He never said a word, but when I got back from winter break he had a pair of sr60i's on his head.

I let my brother give my headphones a listen, Since he listens to rap so i put on a rap song. I guess I should had checked the quailty of the net stream. As he thought htey was ok, but then he does listen to cheap headphones. Now on a song my nieces like, they loved the headphones and started to bop there heads.

I gave my dads friend my grados after him listening to my dads other friends beats. He was amazed by how much better my grados sounded while playing " santeria" by sublime. The look on his face was just priceless,

It's a little bit confusing to read your posts, maybe you should try a little harder when using punctuation characters.

Has anyone tried to give a non-audiophile a pair of HD800 to try?

I apologize I was attempting to Swype on my phone .I said I introduced him to 320kbs music instead of iTunes and songs download with lower bitrates. He had beats solo and I convinced him to get the upcoming sennheiser amperiors. If bitrate made this big of a difference, how big of a difference would 20$ earbuds be compared to the
v-moda m80.

Not that I have seen, I let my friend use my HE-500's and he had the dumbest look on his face, he came to the realization that it was like having the person in the room playing to you, and that it's the best experience with music he's ever had...Proud day.

I wonder what the reaction would have been to the HE-6 which has an even better presentation according to reviews.

My friends tell me my headphones are "awesome"

Apparently they're up for demo at some Best Buys. If you camp out there long enough you might see one.

I brought my friend, a guy that uses apple earbuds, to SSI, a high end speaker show (with a small section for headphones) and I made him try on most of the flagships. It was pretty priceless. He wants a nice pair of grados now (He listens mainly to rock so it makes sense).
