You can see the whole thing Here , Jude even got a plug posted for the site, sweet!

Some folks like headphones for the privacy, others for the sound. How often do you go for "cans" instead of speakers?

All the time: 26%
Quite often: 26%
Sometimes: 12%

Hmm...a lot of head-fiers did. Hmm...maybe they threw in everyone who made a comment. Hmm...It's all starting to make sense now!

They did not use my quote.

Quote:

My wife listens to King Chrimson's "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One" with headphones on while we make love!

That is so awesome. Either that or maybe a little bit disturbing.

I did a double-take on that quote as well...its one of those things that sound cool in the beginning, until you start to think about it for too long.

Good thing you brought it up...and I replied...so that we can make everyone else think about it for too long as well.

 

[Neruda]

well, that guy's having more fun than I am.

 

[skippy]

aww, they didn't use my quote.

seems headphones are a love or hate thing. most people that hate headphones just really don't like the imaging.

Quote:

Headphones? The whole purpose of audiophilia nervosa is to attempt to reproduce the experience of a live musical event. Thats simply NOT possible with headphones.

NOT possible? i guess that guy never heard of binaural.

 

[dhwilkin]

Awww, they didn't use my quote either.

Still, at least we managed to skew the poll in the right direction!

 

[ai0tron]

Some very interesting (insane) quotes to be found amongst those comments.

Headphones will best speakers someday whenever the recording industry switches to binaural.

Hehe, I think we effectively "stuffed the ballot box"

 

[Eagle_Driver]

Hey, they did use my quote!

"Speakers can be convincing, but I live in an 8.5x11-foot room, which makes for poor speaker placement. So I reached out for my 'high-end' pair of headphones, and am done with it."

Huh? They printed "...and have done with it."

 

[Neruda]

are you sure you didn't just write that?

 

[Eagle_Driver]

Neruda, the one in quotes was what I meant to write, but the one they used was *my* typo.

 

[DanG]

Yep, they used my blurb.
