Shameless Plug; new stuff
Jump to Comments
You know, I could really use some new headphones, these $5 ones on permanent loan from Sean (Seanson, not Seamus) are currently being held together with large amounts of tape, and also have crap acoustics.
So, I put some nice Sony Headphones on my Amazon.com Wish List the other day. These aren’t the most awesome Sony Headphones ever, but nobody can have it all, you know.
Oh, also, I’ve decided to revamp the way the site works by having almost the entire thing generated by movable type (as opposed to me making one-off stuff in notepad and hacking new stuff in every so often), except, for, like, the message board and the image galleries, but, whatever. I’m hoping to have this done over Spring Break, but due to the fact that my server has been excessively slow and fairly disenterested in maintaining an FTP session for more than a few minutes (a problem which the guys at Globat are currently working on) who knows if I can meet this pseudodeadline.

According to my friend and Conrad magazine, these are the best headphones ever:

Holy cow, man! Did you look at the prices!?
So, I saw the “noise-cancelling” ones and figured they’d probably be somewhat expensive. Maybe $70 or $80. Nope. $150. So then I decide, “Well, if I can’t have ‘noise cancelling’, maybe I should just settle for ‘audiophile’.” So I click that, see these mega-ass headphones, and choose the very first option. $499. (The others are, upon discovery, cheaper by several hundred, but still somewhere around $250.)

Yeah, I think “Audiophile” would denote someone who would use their headphones professionally, hence the steep price. They’re not called “The Best Headphones In The World” for nothing.
