I wouldn't wear anything bigger than my Hd 25-1's in public.

 

[plainsong]

Nope, I wouldn't, for two reasons. Firstly: headphone hair. Secondly, portability. I have nowhere to put the headphones when they're off my head. And this is what IEM's are for.

If girls stop you and talk to you then I understand why you wear those cans.
I have walked with my HD595. Not one girl stopped me.

Like I just said in another thread, I really doon't care if people think I look funny. I wear my HD 497 that have bite marks from my dog when he was a puppy all over them. I have some Beyer 250-80's coming in the mail, and I'll probably wear those in public too, but I guess I'm a freak.

Later,

does anybody make a STAX amp for portable use?

(how many batteries would that take!?)

in AZ it sucks to walk around with huge cans, it's HOT. Only d66's and canalphones here!

Indeed.

A version of the SRM/X series runs powered by batteries.Weighs about 2 pounds.
My SRM/Xh is semiportable.Needs 12 V (car, boat, whatever).

When the day arrives that i own a decent full size set of cans i'll wear them in public with pride!

Thats insane, the smallest 12v stantard form factor are those lantren batteries that are about the size of 4 D cells

i wear my Beyer DT770/80's at the coffee shop. Hey..it keeps the sound of the blenders, expresso machines and background music out.

I did it yesterday, well, it was ... okay

Not much people looked at me, only a few ...

The soundstage on the HD595s and the BASS are real winners on the go, now i can compare the PX100 and the HD595s on the same situations ... and woha, HD595s wins hands down!
