I'm a Head-fi member and always joked that people who went to headphone meets would just sit around listening to headphones, not talking to each other.



Well, my imagination was accurate.

He's gone way past your eyes. He's consuming your soul.

I'm pretending he's listening to Careless Whisper while he looks at me.

a few are still around, but most of them had their name changed to fye (both are owned by the same parent company).

What's your setup Jesda?





Here's mine. It's admittedly modest compared to a lot of those guys but I'm extremely happy with it.

Hard to talk to other people with cans on your head. You can talk to people when your car is parked.

Had some Grado SR80s, gave them to a friend and the turd lost them a week later. Just bought Klipsch X5s to use with my Blackberry, hate them. They're on eBay now.

Will probably get another set of Grado SR80s for home and some Sennheisers CX300s or CX500s for walking.

Here's the rest of it:Technics SA110 receiver from 1983ish, Teac EQ from the late 80s

Technics turntable, Grado Black cartridge

I have a Sony CD player and a pair of Skullcandy TiTAN's!

Yeah... not the best but the TiTAN's have pretty good sound quality for their price. I just cant afford over the ear headphones right now.

I don't use my iPod anymore either. I cant stand the sound quality.

Well the guy was there first...

So wouldn't you be the one looking into his eyes?
