Hey to all Head-fiers;
I have to say joining this forum has encouraged me to spend an amount of money on headphones that I previously would never have done. Before I thought spending more than $20US on a pair of headphones was ridiculous but then I joined Head-fi and I realized great sound quality comes with a price tag.
My first headphone was a JWin JHV100B which sounded okay but was completely destroyed after 4-5 years of use and abuse. I invested in another pair as well as a JWin JHV800 and I realized that these mediocre pairs of headphones just did not satisfy me anymore but managed to discourage me from listening to any of my music all together leaving me rather frustrated as I need to listen to music at the end of the day. Many a time I was tempted to just take a hammer and have a go at them as the poor sound quality was driving me insane but did not as I did pay money for it. In an attempt to find a pair that would suit me I joined Head-fi and boy was I in for treat. There is so much information and opinions on so many brands and models of headphones. Like a child in a candy store I was indecisive but after a few weeks of serious contemplation I finally found one I wanted and could afford.
Now I have decided to invest in a pair of Ultrasone PRO-550’s and I am hoping for the best. These cost $235US which is $215US more than I would have ever thought of spending on a pair of headphones. Thanks to
Head-fi I am going the extra 215…dollars that is…
Head-fi is filled with temptations. Even though you know it’s going to be bad for your wallet, you still stay on as you cannot and do not want to leave.
No wonder so many ppl told me “Sorry about your wallet” when I now joined as Head-fi may truly be dangerous to my wallet’s health…but great sound quality is worth it.
