for all you music lovers
 

in my opinion, and in the opinion of many other music freaks, NOTHING beats a Hi-Fi Headphone system.

listening to my music, I feel as is I am part of the music, not just someone listening to it. the sound is 360dergrees around you, not just comming from different directions. Finaly, this is a perfect way to get incredible music (loud if you wish) without bothering people in your house or neighbours.

if you got around 500-1000$ lying around, and would like to increase your music listening experience, I would recommend for you to get a kickass headphone setup (to be used on your computer or on standalone mp3/cd players)

here is a great site that would answer alot of your headphone/cable/amplifier/source questions: www.headphone.com

and here is a forum where you can read personal reviews about components and so on: www.head-fi.org

I have the HD580's... they rock the shit.

Also have a pair of Bose Triport, but my cat mangled the cord a week after I bought them.

got a pair of Sennheiser rj45 headphones, pure quality

I'll stick with my 1987 sony walkman thank you.:winkwink:

Should have gotten the BOSE headphones.
Fucking amazing set. Cant hear shit even if someones
shootin a gun next to you. And the sound is as
clear as could be.

what model bose you got?

The Bose Triports sounded great, and definately blocked out all external sound.. but they felt too confining...

the Sennheisers give you the feeling that you're in a room with your home theater playing, and not wearing headphones.

absolutely, as if you're up on stage with the band :thumbsup

I love music, but I like the simple pleasures of life better :winkwink:




such as a nice chat with an aimiable girl

you could do both at once :thumbsup

indeed, that's a good idea. yet, is that the case with you?

but of course, I webcam chat with my ladies with my headphones on :1orglaugh :thumbsup

I'm confident you do :thumbsup

Nice setup!

I enjoy listening to music whatever else I'm doing. Its one thing you can always count on to set your moods.

You and your damn Headphones... Can't you buy speaker for everyone to hear in the room...At least when you have guests...

Good headphones sound awesome, cheap ones don't. The only annoying thing about headphones is that you can't hear anything around you. And if you're a techno bopper, which I'm not, you wouldn't have the whole floor doofing. Which as I have learnt from my bro, is what 'music' is all about.

There are different kinds of music to fit different kinds of moods. But I like to listen to soft, mellow music while unwinding after a day's work.
