So the semester is about to start and I'm shopping for a solid pair of headphones. I've got a cheap pair of Sony's right now that sound good but are very uncomfortable even for short amounts of time. Anyone use these..

I have heard good things about Sennheiser, but that is mainly about the HD650's. Those are supposed to be comfortable with incredible sound. Unfortunately, they'll run you at least $450.

 

Also if you pockets are deep you could consider the Grado RS1's.

They are strange looking for sure, but supposedly they are the best. The wood is supposed to help out.

 

I have a pair of Sony MDR's that have been very good. I have had them for 2 or 3 years and used them everyday. They defintely get as loud as you could need; to the point that it just hurts.

Or if you don't have deep pockets, the Grado SR60's are a great pair of headphones. Or any of the Grado line of headphones. :M16: I've also had several Sennheisers, also excellent sound quality. Just depends on what your budget is.

I've had those exact headphones for about 2 years, and I freaking love them. They sound great for just regular listening, and I've used them when recording with my band, and they cancel out drums and other instruments really well. The sound quality is great for the price, and they are built very solid as well. They are a little bit heavier than some, but by no means are they too heavy. Go for it, I think you'll like them. :M16:

I have had a pair of HD 212 Senns for about 3 years now and absolutely love them.

I ran DSP-500's for a long time they eventually broke down and I bought a Razer barracuda headset.

These are computer headsets by the way and not actual "headphones".

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
