DJ / Studio Headphones In Public? (1 Viewer)

[7 - No tomorrow]

I had an "only assholes wear beats headphones" rule. Then my longtime bud showed up with a pair, swears by them. I still wouldn't be seen dead in a pair but, whatever.

Exactly. Life's rich pageant, innit?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I rang up to get these Bose noise-cancelling headphones one time.

The lady asked me where I would be using them. I told her for going to work on the bike.
She shut down the transaction. Said it was an unapproved use.
So then I said that I just wanted them for the house and she said she knew I was lying because I said bicycle first.
I was laughing at this point and she eventually ended the call.
I told the other half all of this and then she wouldn't let me buy the fucking things.

Women, wha'?

Hah! Women protecting you from yourself, you should be grateful

Been thinking about getting a pair of these for the morning train to work. I'm not really too worried about looking like a spa

Got a pair of them about a year ago to replace some other "cans" and I had to send them back. Shitty sound compared to other Senheissers(SP?) and so fucking tight on the ears it acually hurt. Reading up on reviews of them it seems a lot of people had complaints about how tight they were. And I don't have a big mallet head on me or anything like that.

The girlfriend knew to work the body with the safety issue and then an uppercut with the cost (they were like $300) which was always the weak leg of the stool anyway.

A far smarter animal, your female.

So can anyone recommend a decent set of these that are not too expensive and would be decent and lightweight enough to go running with?

Dude on the bus this morning with the lengthy cable wrapped around one side of his phones, additionally, and even more absurdly, it appeared to be one of those headsets someone in customer service would wear as there was a mike attachment.

How desperate to listen to music can one be?

running i'd recommend buds, the kind with the anchor that goes round the back of your ear.

like this

I actually have 4-5 sets.

Cycling (anchored)

walking (discreet buds)

working (sony mdr's)

studio (beyerdynamic d100)

the mdr's might be rigid enough to hold while running, but arent made for it.

mdr's crapped out. Ok I stood on them.

Got these cos i was in a rush:
Skullcandy SCS5URDZ-217 Uprock Rasta On-Ear Headphones

So far, much more comfortable than the MDR's. less pointless bass and sound great on older, more 'live' stuff. Stupid mdr bass was working well on electro stuff though. cable is shoddy. bet it will break first.

look either great or like shit, i live in galway so great
