100+ Head-Fier
Ok maybe it's just me but why is it that all the good ones are taken?
What i mean is list the superhero's of the headphone world and what you have is cans like the AKG K1000 (no longer made) Sony MDR-R10, Original Stax Omega's, Sennheiser Electrostats and the list goes on and on. Now I know we live in a world of fast food and fast everthing else. These days cans are bought because they match your emo image or the colour of your eyeshadow and that good does not necessarilly mean good at the purpose for which the things were invented. So am i being silly by thinking that the legendary headphones should still be in production if they really were that good or is it just that they were phased out to allow for newer shinier but not necessarily better products. I have a feeling that they companies who made these products put them too far out of the mainstream and added too much of a markup in profit for them to sell in huge volume so why cant they bring them back drop their profit margin and sell to the masses. I'm only guessing but surely the like of sony are more than capable of making a headphone to beat all.
