Headphone/Earphone Sightings

Recommended Posts

Well, who's to judge? Back in the early days when walkmen were meant to be slung over your shoulder (I believe a lot of you ain't from this era), I could only see eyes of envy. If I were to see a bus or train commuter using a pair of full size cans, I could only give him the thumbs up for being a music lover who does not care if he gets strange stares. Similarly, I wouldn't scorn on those who still wear stock ear buds and shiny ear clips and think they are hip. It's only a hobby with no benchmark nor borders to speak of. If there's indeed one, the chain may look as such:

I never saw anyone using full size headphones yet though.

The most is the portable AT ones, foldable kind, not sure the model.

 

Currently, i'm using Grado SR80 or HD580 with PA2V2 on the go though, since I always bring a bag along.

FC7s seem to be the most popular ATs around. Shiny cups, foldable (though not the "spectacles" fold), closed (though circumaural)...

 

Really bassy (muddy) though...

Mostly probably is the the HP 1k, which may explain why the ang moh walking pattern is so funky in your opinion :P

Most people wear e2c the wire they wear behind or infront? Sometimes I wear infront because behind too troublesome. -_-

 

 

yrs preference.. as longas it is comfortable to you and you enjoy the muisc on the go thats the most important thing.... normally they are design to wear from the back for performancers :grin:

I believe putting it on from the back reduces microphonics.

The wire also doesn't become as "obstructive" that way.
