Let's gooooo

I only have the ve monk and snow lotus. They sound virtually identical to me. I would l or the same form factor but with even more wow factor, what should I grab? I’m down to spend. They are so comfortable I end up using them a ton.

You make an important, VERY important and often over-looked point: focus and attention... and entertainment... hear me out:

On a bike: have to pay constant attention, be alert, but also, enjoy the scenery blah blah blah -- your attention is on too many things to "notice" the helmet and it's inconvenience. Not to mention you want the helmet for safety so your brain is LESS likely to be like "yo... take this fucking thing off"

Listening to our Audeze: your focus is, most likely, on your music - maybe split with work or a movie if you're using your cans that way... your brain is MUCH more likely to complain because the cans are PART of what you're focusing on... maybe the MOST focus is on your cans, so of course any discomfort is going to show up "faster"

When I'm playing video games, I can wear my Fidelio X2 for a long time, when I'm on my computer working, I can't for nearly as long.

yeah guys, I'm mostly down to VE Monks now and about an hour of the lightest Porta Pro/ksc7 driverswapmadness and even THOSE get annoying on my ears.

VE monks are the only thing I can wear all day that does NOT make me feel like I'm sacrificing sound quality (too much)

It's sad but I'm honestly thinking about selling all but maybe one of my over and on ear cans. IEMs, earbuds and speakers will see me through this life...

interesting question - what would happen if like... half was covered? lol water's gonna flow into the uncovered side and get "cleaned" maybe?

I've been meaning to make this a post but it might not warrant its own thing: I don't regret buying headphones but I hate how much I feel the need to switch between them... having too many headphones is only annoying because of how often I rotate between them.

I have these, I like them! I don't use them much but I found them used super cheap and I like their buds so I thought I'd try them.

Their biggest selling point is their battery life and so far, so good. I think they sound decent as well and are lightweight. I can't have them on too long cus on-ear stuff is never all that comfortable for me but they could be worse!

you can just buy it on amazon. Sometimes I'm tempted but I like that they're different. I'm just going to mod them by adding whatever I can on the part that touches the top of my ear. Poor choice tomake it a thin wire. I think something slightly thicker will help.

Porta pro's are boomier, the bass is a bit sloppy. Can be fun. I use Portas to watch TV or play video games (I do not play first person shooters, for what it's worth) and certainly for music too but I prefer the Ksc75 just slightly for music based on milder bass.

I just re-purchased a KSC75 literally yesterday! I have to say, I forgot they have that tiny flimsy piece of metal where your ears are. I'm going to add something soft but not bulky there just to add a bit more surface pressure. I'm thinking a tiny square from a yoga mat or something should be plenty. It's the spot that gets sore for me after a while with these.

Wish I could wear them longer but at some point they just get bothersome. Do love to rotate them along with others.

Is this why the title says he was "born" for this? I don't quite get that part....

One thing I've learned is that for ANY new thing you learn about, there are going to be some seriously obsessed people with that thing. It is also likely to be outrageously expensive at some levels.

Like, I know literally NOTHING about darts but I guarantee you there are sets of darts that cost thousands of dollars but probably "fly" (or whatever) just as well as cheaper sets.
