Actually, that's very retro. I had purple hair around 1982/3 with a little blue, green, yellow, red, and...whatever I was in the mood for at the time. I remember driving the back roads from Colorado to Indiana to visit my 80-something-year-old grandma at the time, and getting more than a few odd stares. Granny was great, though. I called her a few miles out to warn her, and she just said, "Honey, the world could always use more color." I also remember my parents sticking a hat on my head at my brother's graduation from the Air Force Academy, though the officers who talked with me didn't seem upset by it at all, were all quite interested and very friendly.

I can't believe you told a guy who is idiotic enough to get that pissed over a game where you live.

Okay, that guy's hips and ass are bigger than mine and I'm sure not sporting short shorts. I think that goes in the There Should Be a Law category.

Love my Cain & Cain Abbys I got from Mike, but sub is pretty much required. John's Omegas with his tt setup sounded great, but neither he nor Mike can hang onto gear for more than a few weeks. I was surprised he kept them for so long (a few months). Mike didn't you have the Omegas Steve just bought for at least a couple weeks? I never got the chance to hear them.

If necessary, I will create multiple accounts and hire Jahn's posting team in order to stop that epidemic if it ever comes to pass.

Then it's doubtful you will like the 780s unless Ken's mods made drastic improvements.

I heard those Bose about a month ago when a co-worker brought them in (he has since purchased ESW9s and Yuin PK3s). You should like the 780s just fine, and, hopefully, Ken's mods improved them some.

What other headphones/gear do you have?

Congrats, Steve!

Okay. I take it that you like them, which is fine and dandy. I'm curious what you like about them since our experience seems to be quite different.

Amoeba was pretty cool. I wish I'd could have spent more time looking around without all those people and that wimpy Vampire Weekend band playing.

I won't believe it. A mullet is one thing and diaper pants another.

They went out of style because men looked like they were wearing diapers. It was a disturbing and confusing time for women.

Whaaaat?

Perhaps it's a Florida thing, but no, I don't know women like that. Are you sure? I'm staying away from this topic except to say that listening to guys complain about their sensitive faces is pretty funny.

I'm sure you'd feel the same way if your lady friends didn't shave legs, etc., which takes as much time or more.

The ESW9s have a much fuller, richer tone with more bass.

My ex had a beard for most of the 10 years we were together. He looked good with it, but I hated the way it felt. Think of your lady friends, guys. Beards hurt, but less than stubble. Clean shaven is the way to go.

I've never heard the Triple fi anything, so don't know.

Just gotta say, as a woman. this is an odd thread to read. Women don't really ever talk about this stuff. Last year, I went home to my folks for a visit. For the first time in years the whole family was together. Both my brothers had grown beards. It was strange. I known them for 40 plus years without. I didn't really like it.

Yup, I agree, but if you're going to start looking into higher-end headphones, you can't think only about the headphones, but about your rig as a whole. If you're looking at the 650s, for example, you need to think about an amp, and you need to consider the quality of the music you listen to as well as your source. Other headphones might be a better choice depending on what else you have and/or are planning.

I haven't heard the ibasso D2, but I listened to the ibasso P2 this weekend with HD600s, ESW9s, Proline 2500s and HFI-780s and a couple different sources. I think the amp section of the D2 and P2 are supposed to be the same. If so, I heard nothing that would make me recommend this amp to anyone. It was congested and very grainy. I was told that the opamps used (I forget which) weren't considered the best choice, and the owner had ordered different ones (again, I don't know which), but of the eight amps there, this was the only one I completely disliked. The Graham Slee Voyager came second place for bad.

That's interesting. I had no idea since I haven't exactly been paying attention except to notice they'd become quite popular. I do remember reading someone say that they were good for gaming, but I'd seen that said about all the Ultasones. I have no idea what headphones for movies should sound like, but I do know that the 780s didn't sound like audiophile headphones to me at all.
