I’ve been curious for a while, but since being stuck at home for a few days now, I’m bored enough to ask. How did you get into head-fi, and do you have other female friends who share your interest? I ask because before I found head-fi, I already had a headphone amp, HD580s, SR-60s, and Ety ER4P. I didn’t know any women, or men for that matter, that had or cared for same. Finding like-minded and more knowledgeable people here has been wonderful, and I’ve met some great guys in person that I now consider friends. It doesn’t bother me that, other than supportive wives who understand and even like the whole thing, I still haven’t met any women who actively view this as a hobby, but, on the other hand, I don’t get it, don’t understand why not. My girlfriends do not share my interests, are amused at best, and think my money would be better spent on shoes/jewelry/clothes (their hobbies)…ah well.
And so I wonder. What’s your experience? Do you have one pair of headphones, or, like me, do you like messing around with all that's out there, listening to music and playing with what's possible? Do you like meeting up with other people to hear what they have, or are you content to stay at home, listening to your set-up? Etc. and anything else you may choose to add.
Oh, and for this thread, I’m not interested in guys posting about how their wives/girlfriends like or swipe their headphones (though I suppose I can’t stop you). I’m curious to hear from women head-fi members who view this as a hobby and who actively use this forum, even if just for looking around. Again…just curious. Thanks.
