To celebrate inauguration day I thought I would put for a challenge to you head-fi'ers.

What headphone rigs would you pick for Obama's and members of the new administration...and why????

W3's and an iPod for Pres. Obama?
Grado's for the 1st lady?
Portapro's, Fiio E3's and nanos for the 1st daughters?
Skullcandy for Hillary? ...maybe have Bill make her a cmoy?
Stock buds and a Sansa Clip for Rahm Emanuel?

Have at it.

Lol.
Obama gets.... uh...
W3 definately with a Cowon player.
First lady gets Etys with a... ?
Kids get E3/E5 with....?

I'd top my budget at about $10. That's all anyone'll be able to afford in a couple months.

just kidding

 

[i_don't_know]

Obama: IE8 with a Sony X1000.
First lady: UE11 with a Sansa Fuze and a Fiio E5.
Kids: Phonak Audeo or Denon C751 (their choice) with a Sansa Clip.
Hillary Clinton: Jecklin Floats, Fiio E3, and a Zen Stone.

ha nice...

and why?

is it too noisy on Air Force One?

do they have to double as a chew toy for the new dog?

I'm finding myself wondering how the OP can operate a computer and post on an internet message board when it's obvious that he can't read.

On another note, I noticed Yo Yo Ma was wearing some IEM's.

Anyone want to guess what they were?

they all seemed to be wearing some kind of IEM with the exterior molding/housing as RE1/2 (i think dont quote me on this) and the sony ex51.

Eh? What happened to "and why"? The choices seem random to me. Not like the entire thread isn't random...

Say, do you think any of the Secret Service agents are secretly (geddit?) listening to their iPods with those one-sided earpiece things? I know I would. Though I'd want two sides...

If there was a vote for the worst threads on head-fi, this has got to be up there.

I saw that!! And he was so happy looking during that performance. And what a great performance it was, definitely a "crank up the TV" one!!!

I was surprised that he was wearing regular canalphone style monitors. I was expecting the "news anchor" or customs that performers usually wear. Interesting.
