So, my wife's family descends on our humble home today to gobble down turkey and pumpkin pie. Among them is our 15-year-old nephew, a budding jazz saxophonist who has an ipod 5.5g (30gb). I check out his earphones, and the poor kid is using a pair of OEM Sony earbuds he picked up someplace, he wasn't sure where. Being a dedicated headphone fanatic, I finally decide it's time to get him hooked. I give him, for keeps (as we used to say as kids), my Kramer-modded Ksc75s. He gives them a try. He lights up like a Xmas tree. But wait, I also have 3 FiiO E3s sitting around, bought at $8 per. I hand him one, show him how it all hooks up, and he's stunned!
He didn't take the phones off all day, except to eat, of course.
He also kept thanking me over and over, saying how he had to listen to his entire 2,000-track collection with this new-found treasure.
I told his dad (my brother-in-law) that he'd better be prepared, cause the next thing I was gonna do was send him the head-fi.org URL. So sorry for his wallet. I am so devious.
But the boy's face was worth it. He kept repeating, "I can't believe how much better this sounds!"
