How has everyone been? I haven't spent much time on audio since I'm quite happy with what I have. More so listening to music...
Pretty much the same here. The HD 600 does everything I need, and even if an all around better headphone (or just an improved HD 600) were to come out now, it would probably be out of my budget, anyway, so I'm not really interested.
So I've just been concentrating on the music side of the equation. For the past few years slowly been collecting up songs and albums from when I grew up (the 90s), and a few days ago I accelerated the process by exhausting some banked up Amazon gift card credit on nearly 50 tracks that were on my list. Virtually all of it is stuff frequently played on mainstream radio, and some of it might qualify as guilty pleasure territory, but hey, that's how nostalgia works. I didn't actually care for a lot of it at the time (mainly because of radio overplay), but now that it's been at least 15 years since these songs were regularly played on the radio, it's nice to hear them again, and arrange them into playlists, and even annoy my friends who also lived through that era but aren't quite willing to forgive Sheryl Crow and Hanson for existing.
