Are these “the most advanced headphones ever?” Bullshit. I think Grado will disagree.

The point is: Why headphones? Headphones are ALWAYS lacking the room and it’s natural reflections, so headphones will never be the best solution for high end listening.

There#s only one real solution for 100% natural sound: www.manger-msw.com

Ingo: There are *not* too much lack of headroom if using, for example, a headphone amp with a kind of crossover built-in. The HeadRoom Airhead is a nice choice: http://tinyurl.com/9vucd

Hi-end headphones can deliver extreme aural pleasure everywhere, everytime. Sure, they can’t reach a very hi-end speaker system but… when in the street? Who can stand with the crappy sound that conventional earphones have?

About the headphones of the post… Pah! Pure crap. In this days the kings in head size ‘phones are, for examples, the AKG K701 for definition, the Sennseiser HD650 for musicality or the Beyerdinamics 770 if you want tons of bass.

Countach Thanks for the high-end suggestions. Im looking for some kick ass headphones to listen to friskyRadio on the go - so I guess I need to take a look at the Beyerdinamics 770 as I love me some bass. But I had been meaning to buy the HD650’s as they look pretty slick and sound kick ass… http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=USHD650

HD650’s sounds kinda soft. Some people loves them for classical, for rock music, for their soundstage, but not many electronic music lovers uses them. They make the sound big but maybe lacks the punch needed in some beats.

In the other side, AKG K701 are more clinical and cold, some prefers them for its definition.

The Beyers are loved by electronic music heads, for sure, but more purists people thinks that their bass is over present.

Grados are very punchy. Rock music people love them, but I can’t read many testimonials of electronica being listened by those.

BTW, all them are the “creme de la creme” the most available. Over there, we have the electrostatic ones, but the cost over $3K and many more.

All this headphone world is pretty complex! lol

Putin accuses Bush of provoking the Georgia conflict to help McCain. Although I dont agree with it Putin, its not without merit. Remember, the Republicans have nothing other than war and national security to run on, so they will scary the American people and make wars out of nothing, just to get the people to vote for them. Thats why they won in 2004. And I can bet you come late October or so, Im sure there will be a “credible terrorist threat” or something of the like that hits America. All they know is to scare people.

The latest release from friskyRecords comes straight in at Number 1 in the ProgressiveHouse.com charts! Straight in at Number One baby! I feel especially good about this one because this was the first release on friskyRecords that I picked up, rather than commissioning DJs to make us a track for release. This track was 100% my choice that I heard and immedaitely knew I wanted to sign on friskyRecords. This proves that no matter what I should trust my gut. Thats what Ive always done with friskyRadio, and now its time to do the same with friskyRecords.

So Barack picked Joe Biden as his VP. Its nice to know that Obama listened to me when I spoke about Joe Biden way back in July 2007. I couldnt agree more with this pick, Barack. Its also nice to know that when I talk about politics, Im not merely speaking bullshit - I actually know what Im talking about. Like when I called out in 2002 that Saddam didnt have any WMD at all, but the reason why he would never admit to it was that in the Arab culture, admitting defeat is like saying youre not a man. So Saddam would rather let the world think he had WMD by merely remaining silent… I was right about that too.
