Soups

Or ruined ears.

Or Z graduates.

Shout-out to @rhythmdevils for the rec. Still can't believe this is around $200.

This is why I shave my head!

I bic my head every day. Not a problem.

@YMO Bic your body hair every day. #bsmoov

There was an interview with Stung back in the 90s in which he prattled on about how difficult it was for buskers to make ends meet. He'd been busking in disguise in the tube and had earned next to nothing all day. Some wag said "it's because you're shit, mate."

I absolutely LOVE the Police so have always followed his solo releases. They seem to get worse and worse. One listen through this new one and it is mediocre at best. He is too happy these days. Unfortunately, Sting needs to get divorced or get depressed/angry again to get the creative juices flowing. Happy Sting = boring elevator music Sting.

Only own SR1a, but I have extensively auditioned various modded HD800s. If you want that headstage HD800 is still the way to go. SR1a doesn't stage very well even though some of it exists outside your head. HD800 cannot touch SR1a transients.

SR1A makes that first re-listen in years an absolute joy...

What color is the headphone?

Focal Clear Mg: Yes

Big parade happening tomorrow, downtown Boston.

ROTFL

It's funny when I lived 30 minutes north of tampa from 2003-2009 they f'ing hated Brady and the Patriots more than anything !

Is it me or does Jot 2 make it seem like Liquid Platinum isn't as good now ? HD650 and Aeolus Bifrost 2 here.

@HotRatSalad I have the same combo and think the same thing

All from distant memory, but maybe the only area where I'd give Liquid Platinum an edge is wider stage.. which almost feels irrelevant with the HD6X0 line.

like Mike's semi-plaid shirt!

Sage reminder: it's about having FUN, and enjoying the music while you can. Everything else is... what ass sounds like.

Been waiting for Jot 2 to ship for over two weeks. Boohoo. :)

Felt like I was rolling the dice on both. But the Monarch is an incredible value as a neutralish + technical IEM with a fine sub-bass tilt that will make heads bob and booties shake. I strongly prefer it to the only other pricey IEM's I've heard: UM Mest, CFA Atlas and Solaris (OG).

DX160 sucks at everything (interface, wifi, battery) but sound. Don't pay full price but balanced out on this makes the Monarchs sing.

These guys will go down in history as some of the greatest pop songsmiths ever. But what a reminder that few things breed more contempt and life-chaos than run-away commercial success.

I lost track of how many times I re-upped with both. But like a sucka mc, I always fulfilled my purchase obligations. Found this on Wikipedia: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/03/25/nyregion/man-admits-fraud-in-joining-cd-clubs-thousands-of-times.html

Daaang! I always fulfilled the terms as well. We are not thieves.

Who knew thug life could be so focused on mail-order fraud. Also didn't know that many variations of a single address was even possible.

These are the most sadomasochistic looking ear speakers around.

I have been curious about the Monolith True Wireless they just released. Looks like they are doing the same approach of not tuning them and relying on Sonarworks though, as they are majorly promoting that collaboration.

Shoot, now I'm having a look at it. Not a bad move to apply DEQ to that category where sound quality still matters, but isn't necessarily king.

Yeah, at $100 on sale for black friday, if comfort isn't terrible, call quality is solid, and battery life isn't terrible... Maybe worth a whirl? I am just so not a DEQ guy, but probably only way they are tolerable

WAF unusually low

Clutter is good. As long is it doesn't rattle, vibrate or resonate.
