I was listening to music this morning on my new Szeker DIY amp connected to my Grado HP-2s when I decided to get up and put a tape in my VCR to record some stuff tonight. Well after I put the tape into my VCR I stepped back to sit back down and didn't realize I had my foot on the HP-2 cord. Oh ****! The Grado's went flying and landed on top of the Skezer amp with a big WHACK! I was horrified.

I picked them up and looked for any damage but didn't see any. I was sure I had just killed them. I put them back on and they were still playing music just fine. I'm just glad these things are built like a tank. The top of my Skezer is metal so it wasn't damaged either. I think I got lucky this time.

I sent my old mdp flying across the room several times with the same technique...not fun! I'm glad Senns have detachable wires too, saved them a couple of times..

After that sort of thing happens 100 or so times, you kind of remember to check for wires before you make any sudden moves!

[size=xx-small]Now that I've offered such sage advice, I sure hope I don't make it happen the 101st time![/size]

 

[KR...]

I am pretty carefull about my stuff for the most part, but even I have knock the cords out of the 600's 2 times since I got them. But, I wear 11 1/2 boots, so I have a excuse

Be carefull with your headphones please!

Hey man, you're feet are small!

I've got two left one's on top of size 12's

I pulled my SR-80's off my head at least 20 times by standing on the cord when I went to stand up.

I've only done it with my SR-325's once...those cost too much to not pay attention to what I'm doing.

I would have had to send you a funeral march if you had broken em'.

 

[acidtripwow]

LOL Ai0Tron. Yeah, and I would have buried them in the back yard with family and friends around. I would have been crying like a little girl.

The damage is quite reversed in the case of the Etymotic... tug on the cord in the wrong position and they will give your ears quite a bit of pain... Otherwise, just don't step on them...

Loving them fractals, chych!
