holy poops! it's been a while since i've tuned into the world of headphones, but it appears to have exploded. what the heck is going on?

any old school members still around?

Headphones have become more mainstream I guess. Portable media players and computer based media players have become more popular, and with those headphones have been and are the most obvious way listening to one.

Yeah man - what a different world! Back in 2003 there was a very moderate amount of headphone gear out there, and I was intensely interested in all of it!

Today there is an insane amount of new headphone gear - especially budget amps & portables - and I am not interested in owning/hearing any of it

Still fun to poke my head in and look at posts/pictures once and again...

Hey Skippy. Good to see you back again.

A small amount of money will get you along way with a lot of choice now. That's what happened.

Nice 1000th post, skip! Good to "see" you.

You should come out to the Spring Meet in Bayside on March 13th.

I got into headphones with the koss esp-950, hd580, and the grado sr80s back in 1994 when they were the ones being recommended by stereophile and most other stuff wasnt that good. 16 years later... I am still listening to headphones and still enjoy the hd580s over the other cans Ive had. Just goes to show that all these other models dont really matter that much

Wow, Skippy is alive! I remember reading all those Grado mods.
