DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese

I only use my SONY over-the-ears .

What model do you have?

[King Postwhore]

They diminish the range of sound, they hurt my damn ears over time and like others have said, they fall out.  I have a Sony noise canceling pair I love.

[Prog Snob]

I despise ear buds.

Same here. The sound is just terrible.

[ASacrificedSon]

Actually, I prefer ear buds over headphones.

[BlobVanDam]

They have the obvious major advantage of portability, but aside from that, I'd say headphones all the way. Ear buds aren't good for your ears and don't sound great.

[ASacrificedSon]

I agree with aren't good for your ears, but I use skullcandy  and the quality is pretty dang good.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I had these Sony headphones til I accidentally broke the cable.

They were outstanding.

I had what at the time were great headphones for me (Philips) and the cord broke. For some reason the cable got stiff (insert joke here) and from constant flexing it just snapped through entirely. I bought a 10ft regular stereo cable off eBay for a couple of bucks including shipping, chopped off one end and used it to replace the cable on my headphones. Good as new.

Morning

[BlobVanDam]

Morning, El Jefedaddy

[hefdaddy42]

Ready for this fucking week to be over.

[King Postwhore]

Yeah, I had a crappy start.  Looking forward to the weekend.

[ASacrificedSon]

Same here. Annoyed by the endless cycle of time. Looking forward to the weekend then I realize I have school after the weekend. The cycle never ends.......I can't wait to finish school and actually get a job.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Hell, I'll be grateful for this workday to be over.  Beer awaits.

[hefdaddy42]

Hell, I'll be grateful for this workday to be over.  Beer awaits.

I have band practice tonight, so that's cool.  But I have to work again tomorrow.

I can't remember. It doesn't say on them. But it's the MDR ? I think ?


EDIT : https://n2.sdlcdn.com/imgs/a/i/p/Sony-MDR-ZX100-Headphone-1186724-2-88ef1.jpg < - - - Think it's these.

They're a touch bassy but i'd rather too much bass than way too much treble.


EDIT II : https://i58.tinypic.com/2l9skr8.jpg < - - - These are really good. Great flat response. Awesome for mixing. I might buy some more.

[Prog Snob]

What's up, guys?

[jingle.boy]

Over the ear vs ear buds is a preference thing.  With either, you can get a comfortable pair with great sound, or an uncomfortable pair with shitty sound for either.

I'm an ear bud kind of guy - even though there isn't much more annoying than shit-ass ones falling out on the slightest movement.  There's lots of different ways to get perfectly fitting ear buds.  I just got some custom molded earplugs, and am gonna try them out to make custom-fitted ear buds.

[Kotowboy]

For in ears - i like the ones with the spongy ends which keep them in your ears and boost the low end.

[Prog Snob]

I have a spongy end

[JayOctavarium]

I just use in ear OEM Samsung or the mid level Skull Candies (~$20). I tend to break / lose headphones too quickly for anything else. I do have some semi decent over ears that I use when played World of Warcraft (they have a semi decent mic on them). I'd love  some nice nice headphones for either application but I can't justify it.

[Prog Snob]

I'm meeting my cousin after work. This is going to be the first time I've ever met her. We connected when I was doing my genealogy research. She was on Ancestry.com and we had similar people in our trees, so I messaged her. It wound up that we're cousins.

[King Postwhore]

I have a spongy end

Bet you say that to all the guys.


Like now.

That's pretty awesome Prog!

I took a peak at ancestry once and they didn't have any information on me aside from the family I could find myself on facebook.

[Prog Snob]

Sometimes you need to do a little more digging to find stuff. I stopped using Ancestry because there are plenty of other websites to find those same things and it's free elsewhere.

Stop stating the obvious.   

[Kotowboy]

I don't give a f--k what my family tree is

The way I see it - who my ancestors were doesn't change diddly squat about the person I am right now.

If i'm due to inherit billions because i'm in line to the throne somewhere in Europe then Yeah The Hell but that's not happening

My Dad says our ancestors are French & German. That's fine by me. As long as they ain't Welsh

[Podaar]

Going with the fam damily to a Norman Rockwell art exhibit tonight. We'll probably stop at a Mexican grill place for dinner before hand. I'm really looking forward to it after a fucked up day at the office.

[jingle.boy]

Mrs. Jingle's b-day today.  'twas a success.  Kids got their 1st Semester final exam marks back, and did well; made a nice pasta/chicken bake, and a nice bottle of wine, and Edible Arrangements for dessert.

Just chillin on the couch now as she's uploading pics to FB.

[King Postwhore]

Nice. Marinated Chicken skewers over couscous.

[Prog Snob]

What's up guys?

[King Postwhore]

Chillin' with my lady watch DVR'D tv shows.

[Prog Snob]

Sounds good to me.

[ReaperKK]

Evening fellas, what's happening?

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Beer.

[ReaperKK]

Me too Coz
