Anyone know what kind of headphones these are? Or should I start a separate "babes in headphones" thread?

I know I've posted this before, but this is what goes through my head pretty much every time I see the "exterminate...annihilate...destroy" line. Fortunately, it's one of my favorite dancey electro-industrial/EBM numbers, too:

Awesome. I loved Deadwood. And Woo. And Swearengen.

Mystified, Hellwaste and Narcotic Basement -- damnbient, glorious damnbient -- in anticipation of the new one...

Fourteen?!?!? I don't think I could name fourteen condiments...

I was viewing the pics at home -- I actually thought there was something wrong with my monitor. Now that I'm seeing it at work (monitor is set brighter)...mmm...there's...uh..."lots of glue all over the place"...which is quite embarassing, because there are other people here at work...and I can't wait for the laser engraving, I'm a big fan of laser engraving...I got a HP LightScribe just because I like the way it looks...

Of course, if it was the McCain one, they'd show him holding a cane instead of a gun. I like the rock'n'roll one.

Yeezh. Sympathies to you both.

Don't you need to save money for moving?

Are we getting time-slipping again? Icarium's response quoting Elephas is listed as several hours before Elephas'.

Thanks, you have totally ruined me, I can't look at something now without wondering...just going through the deals at amazon: Microfiber...neoprene...cashmere...batting... ...of course, in my case, it's with complete lack of experience, so I guess I just gotta get in there and start trying stuff. Because although although you guys are tweaking the stuff based on the frequency response stuff, I have to wonder if the small enclosures aren't still a problem in terms of the waveform coming off the back, and reflecting back past the driver into the ear, combining with the waveform coming off the front won't have some sort of comb-filtering effect as well, so I'm thinking something has to minimize the amount of reflection, no? Or are you just assuming the extant design (whatever the original manufacturer has done to minimize reflection) keeps it from doing so (combined with the driver not letting a lot of information past it)?

Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me.

Actually, NXT almost exclusively licensed their technology as far as I know (maybe they were some sort of subsidiary to one or the other? I dono): Sonic Impact: link link NEC: link Toyota: link Logitech: link Lots more: link google Obviously, they would come in a variety of qualities with that sort of (quantity) output. I don't have high hopes for the speakers built into the CD cases to sound any good, so the question was more along the lines of the higher end ones -- the $300 ones disguised as works of art, etc. Or if there were any manifestations that were any good. I'm very curious about the Cyrus ones. (And I actually wrote to the company to find out who made that rack in that one picture.)

Anyone heard any of the NXT-based planar speakers? How do they compare?

What changed?

That sounds good right about now.

I shouldn't laugh -- I think I was the fortunate recipient of one of his wanes of affection. (Am I remembering that correctly?)

Just keep watching eBay and the like. There were once a pair posted that the owner didn't even specify that they were Grados -- he just called them "retro headphones" or something. They were like NOS. Unfortunately, they'll probably be posted on Head-Fi like that. I'd entertain south of $1,500...but admittedly not by much. You got a sister? Perhaps we could work something out. Do you even know what they sound like? Their sound is not for everyone. Or just by a lot of stock now, while the economy is bottomed out. You should be able to afford a pair in a year or four.

I don't know, I think I'd prefer to be banned, myself.

Quoted for awesomeness.

Yeah, that makes sense -- reduces resonance by acting as a braking mechanism.
