I mean jeepers, CMU is here, yet I'm daily overwhelmed by sheer numbers of stock ipod buds. It's almost more depressing than the weather. I did see a girl a few weeks ago with some ATH-CM7's, which was hot, but that was WEEKS ago. What is it about Pittsburgh?

I go to Duquesne, a few miles down the road, and if you think CMU is bad, you should walk around my campus some time...

I get excited when I see those Sony streetstyle cans, otherwise it's just a sea of white...as far as the eye can see. I used to get good looks when I had my UM2's and E5's, and Im' sure they will continue when I get a set of E4's this winter.

I also go to CMU and I've actually seen a lot of HD280s and PortaPros around campus lately. Several people use HD497s, and I've seen an SR225. It's really not too bad here in that respect. You may have also seen me walking around campus wearing a pair of DT990s as a joke

what does the CMU stand for (i understand it is a college)
the only CMU i know of is Central Michigan University and last time i checked that wasn't in pennsylvania


also, i go to lake superior state university and the closest thing to good cans that i have seen is a set of ksc75's which i recomended to the kid .
actually thinking about it i havent really seen anyone walking around with any type of audio device.

i live on the border between canada and the U.S. (upper penninsula michigan)
the closest thing to a high end audio store within 100mi of me (in the us at least) is radio shack

Heh, I just saw a guy on the CMU campus using a DT880 portably

(and no, it was not me)

“What is wrong with Pittsburgh?”

Ya got me but something must be wrong. When I was in the Navy in Boot Camp everyone always asks where ya from. So one guy yells over to a new recruit “Where ya from” Pittsburgh was the response. The guy who asked yells back “Pittsburgh Sucks” and the guy from Pittsburgh responds “Yeah I know”. It was odd because no matter where you’re from people usually have some small amount of pride but not Pittsburgh.

I think people say things like jokingly rather than with true hatred for Pittsburgh. People here aren't too uptight in general about insulting their city (except when the Steelers are playing).

For the record, I have very little pride for the place where I grew up (which is on Long Island).

I think basically every college is a sea of white. I saw apair of SR 60s, a decent pair of Shure earbuds, and that's about it. I use a pair of HD25s. BTW, is Pittsburgh cool? I want to go to CMU, so that's why I'm interested to know.

 

[Angaria]

Pittsburgh is cool, but it's cold. i.e. not a bad place to spend 4 years when you're too busy to do a lot except study. When you do have time there's enough to do.

Also from CMU here, I've seen some grados around, some boses, not much else though.

i was in pittsburgh a while ago, nice place and yes theres quite a lot of stuff to do if you're willing to get your butt out into the cold (during this time of year)

it was a nice change from champaign

and a much needed break for me

cheers

I never really thought Pittsburgh was very cold. It gets down to 7-10F sometimes, but what can you really do when it's that cold anyways? It's a pretty temperate climate here...hot summers and cold winters. Plus, we don't have to worry about any natural disasters or those nasty lake-effect snowstorms that Lake Erie is responsible for. It's also a pretty clean city. I've spent the past 4 years running in college here, and I've seen the entire city and surrounding communities in a giant 7 mile radius
