YKYAAW you are getting the Schiit modi/magni 2 and want a 1/4 -> 1/8 adapter for it so you go onto your audio forum for a quick link to a good one from amazon.com (HMU with that link anyone)

YKYAAW you already have tons of adapters.
 
Any adapter is fine, and should only cost a few dollars. You could even go to Radio Shack or something.

I have adapters galore. My friends call me Mr. Best Buy. I have two massive drawers filled with cables and adapters. But for dome reason I only have mono 1/8 -> 1/4 lol.

I was wondering because I don't want one that has a weak connection :/

YKYAAW you hate that your gym teacher's speakers ruin songs
 
Ugh... I've heard dollar store headphones but these were worse... So congested, muddy, bassy, sounded like everything was being gargled. Couldn't even hear his voice in Kanye West's "Gold Digger," just part of the beat and some mutterings that may have been voices. Yuck. Then again, I didn't have to hear Nicki Minaj because of the speakers

i feel kind of sad for them. there is nothing they can really do about that. i really hope that they could get their headphones back.
 
YKYAAW you feel more excited about going to listen new headphones than you are about all of the university exams on the same very year.

YKYAAW you feel sad that a headphone brand you like was stolen from
 
YKYAAW you've calculated a rough estimate of how many headphones were stolen, because you know the prices of many different headphones
 
It's really sad that anyone would do this. It's a shame that one of the best/nicest online communities and one of the best headphone makers have to deal with this.

YKYAAW you equalize your headphones to be as close to a balanced frequency response as possible.
 
Here are some great guides:

If anyone else knows of resources that show simpler ways to equalize headphones with precision, please share!
