deee licious.

I'm very tempted to pick these up. Because I work in a cubicle-based environment, I need closed-back headphones for work. My current headphones (sennheiser HD-280 pros), while excellent, are intended for a studio environment and kinda suck for places like airplanes. I know many of you rag on Sennheiser, but the 280s are in the $100 price range and given that it's tough to beat them. Also bear in mind that Bose refuses to publish frequency response specs for any of their equipment which makes me skeptical from the get-go (I'm an engineer)

And before anyone accuses me of being anti-Bose, my car has a 10-speaker Bose system and it's pretty awesome. It's just that the engineer side of me wants specs, and the cheap-ass side of me wants to maximize value for price. Even given that, these are REALLY fucking tempting.

I also own Sennheiser's and I do love them, but as you said they're meant for the studio and I can't get the best out of them while I'm at work (ie. cranking it to 11).

Looks like I am REALLY ignorant about personal headphones.

Well the 280s in particular are meant for the studio... The 500/600 series are meant for home (apparently), though I can't speak from experience on those. I love my 280s and will use them until they die (decades, most likely) but could use some noise cancelling phones since I find pretty much all canal phones too uncomfortable to wear for long periods. If you do recording work at all, I would suggest the sennheiser phones unquestioningly. For DJs, you'd be better off with their 212 series that have better low-frequency response, and for audiophiles you won't like the 280s given that they're closed-back.

I dig what yr sayin J-Dawg, but in this case specs be damned. The proof is in the pudding. The depth of sound on these fuckers is outrageous. I wanna make babies with them.

I don't doubt it. Despite Bose's reluctance to publish specs I love their stuff. Souly's been in my car, and she can vouch for how awesome that shit is. I'm more than willing to try out headphones, especially given how much time I spend on airplanes.

I think I need to invest in a good pair of over the ear headphones. I recently purchased some Sony noise canceling headphones for about $40, and they sound pretty good, but don't cancel noise very well. I don't expect too much for that price. I have been avoiding the over the ear headphones because they are harder to pack, and I often sleep with them in, which is more difficult with over the ear. I have had horrible luck with earbuds. They just don't last for me. They either break right above the jack, or right below the bud. I had a pair of Bose earbuds break shortly after the 1 year warrantee was up. The Bose earbuds sounded excellent, but I could hear way too much background noise. I am now having trouble with my Monster Cable ear buds at about 1 1/2 years. I think they have a better warrantee though, so maybe I can get a new pair.

Great over-the-ear headphones are a must. If I were rich I would get the Bose noise-cancelling 'phones, but I just have the regular Bose.

Geno's got a friend with strong opinions about this I hear.

I still don't know quite what to make of this one. This is the first BT compilation album I've bought in a long time, and while it's good, it just feels strange to hear BT spinning dubstep.

In other news, I ordered the other 2 new BT albums today from Amazon on CD:

BT - If The Stars are Eternal so are You and I
BT - Morceau Subrosa

These are both studio albums, so I have high hopes. If the Stars... is compared to one of his previous albums This Binary Universe, which has me excited since that's one of my favorite albums of his even if it's a little (OK a lot) off the beaten path in terms of EDM.

The Psychic Paramount completely blew me away tonight. I do not have words right now to properly describe how I feel after that show, but I can't sleep because I'm too fucking excited about this band, so I'm attempting the words anyways. I was in the very front row for only the third time in my life merely by luck, as I was getting high in the restroom 10 minutes prior to showtime as usual. People don't know about this band, but they should. To the people's credit, I talked to the bassist (whom I was standing directly in front of) after the show, and he told me that this was their first gig in Seattle (they're from NYC) in over 10 years of playing together. They certainly made up for lost time, as I had to use both hands to pry my jaw from the floor when they were through with their 50-minute set. While said bass-master was shaking my hand, he apologized to me specifically for the timeliness of the festival and for not being able to play another song, as he could see from my wicked dance moves that I was so eagerly craving. I told him that another song might have melted me completely into a puddle on the floor, and I wasn't exaggerating. Fans of high-energy guitar and drum rock need to check this band out immediately. Phenomenal, phenomenal stuff, and they are playing a rare Portland gig on Monday at some place called Mississippi Studios. Just imagine being in the front row for this:







FUCK YES


So this band played another last minute gig in my town last night. Imagine the same phenomenon, except with way more fog machine, and replace bass-master with guitar-master. He sold me:

The Psychic Paramount - II (vinyl)

at a discounted price because of previously stated wicked dance moves. How often do dance moves get you a discount on records? Not very often. It feels good.
