Hi Guys...
New Here... Hello World and Head-Fi.
Now, I dont think I'd call myself an audiophile by any means, I would however call myself a connoisseur of sorts. I am forever looking for the best my money can buy, whether it is $20 or $20000. I will always look to find the best overall package, this is very often quite subjective... How I feel about what I am buying. Having said that. I am in the market to replace my Sennheiser CX300II in-ears with circumaural HPs. I think I have found them... I say think because we have no real reviews yet (waiting with baited breath).
I read somthing in this thread from Val. Now I have known of v-moda for some time, but not what the company stands for, what Val stands for. Our lives may be worlds apart (He is a DJ in the US, I am an IT specialist in South Africa, he is an entrepreneur, I am a techie), but something that struck a chord with me. Val appears to make/design/have made products he wants to use, not what he thinks will make money. He appears to make something that will make him feel happy about and in so doing, make products with a very old school ideal. Products built to last. Therefore I have found a brand I would like to support...
Ok, so, enough blabbering about how much I love Val... No Val, I do NOT love you, I do like what I hear about you company... Quite frankly, you are not quite my type... I am more a boobs and bum guy myself...
Now these M-100 HPs, are they going to be available in South Africa? Or am I going to have to pull manouvers to get them here?
When do we expect availability?
I have one question that does not apear to be asked often or dealt with very much... how private is private? I want these to be able to use on a plane, in a car with other passengers (we have little public transport but sometimes catch a ride with friends for long distance drives). If I am lying in bed next to the wife, jamming to some Linkin Park, am I going to disturb the wife?
Thank you
Chris
