Oh, so it is I learned that same thing in my speed reading class in high school 1,000 years ago, and I'd say it is worth while if you do it regularly which I did for a short time. Or you can just drive in commute traffic in a big city. That will have your eyes flipping all over the place.

909 without actually playing the video, the dude looks like Paul McCartney.

I have better than 20/20 vision, but I found out that I have an astigmatism (very slight). The doctor gave me some glasses just for the computer (other than that no need), and my eyes don't fatigue nearly as much when I wear them. It might be worth checking out. BTW, there's no glare prevention with my glasses.

Happy Birthday guys! Have a great one.

LOL too funny. The signature high frequency spike directly injected into the ear. Pretty scary stuff.

Anyone else think Grado is beefing up to get bought out? All this "i" stuff and now IEMs I know it's a stretch but wondered if this has crossed anyone's mind.

You should definitely hear a stat. That's like a rite of passage as an audiophile.

I didn't hear the BH imposing too much of it's own sound signature on the O2s either. It does have its own sound, but I felt that it didn't add much coloration, if any. Congrats on a great set up!

I found the highs rolled on the O2s even with the BH. Did you notice? Nice impressions. I think stats in general resolve detail better than most dynamics aside from maybe the Qualias (haven't heard HD800). I just couldn't get into the O2s when I was dead set on getting them a couple of years back. I love hearing the technical stuff they offer. I am a fan but just not enough to add to the fold. I guess it's a preference thing. Even with speakers, stats just don't give me the long term pleasure, but technically, they are incredible for sure . K-1000s just have that magic that works for me. That emotional connection with minimal coloration aaawwww. We did a shoot out at Neil's house HE-90, K-1000, O2 and the K-1000, O2 were on the same level and depended on preference, but we all agreed the HE-90 was on a level all it's own when dialed in. That being said, the HE-90s had the same long term affect and are not my favorite phones. But technically they are the best phones I've heard. Glad you had fun, and yes, sitting back with speakers is takes things into a whole new stratosphere.

Did a good job keeping this one under the radar.

Guess the JH13s will have to wait. I wonder if I can sell my piss afterwards to recoup some of the cost

My Chemical Romance -- Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

Congrats!

I'm just wondering how they made my cheap laptop speakers sound all audiophile with that soundtrack Video was very well done.

^ fixed I found a big jump in speed over v.3, and it's been stable for me so far.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that. I'd definitely take it as a sign - JH13s are calling

X2 - seems to me like he was going overboard on purpose for fun.

LOL too funny - can't wait for this page to be over with

thanks - no worries at all. I'm glad things are good again. Sennheisser didn't do anything wrong. It's their job to market these like any company, and they've done that well. I have to take back my comment which was unfounded about that. It would be nit picking at best anyway. I think I've just reacted to the headfiers (only a few of them) that won't allow a negative comment, but who am I kidding. That happens with every headphone out there. So clearly I'm going to backpedal off this negative track. I've always felt that the HE-90 was on a teir all it's own from a technical standpoint and was a big fan of the HD600 which I owned for many years, so my posts haven't reflected the fact that I do very much like Sennheisser. So, now I'll STFU about what these are or not and stop coming off like an -

I was basing it off Skylab giving a positive review but stating that it wasn't for him after all which was followed by many posts saying his system sucked or that he was biased, etc. He took a lot of flak gracefully. I'm definitely looking forward to the next meet... But, overall, you are right. I guess I have been raining on the parade, and It's not right and beneath me to do that. I have been negative unjustly especially having not heard them. I guess I wanted a counter balance to the hype. But I will STFU now because that's not how I want to be about headphones that people enjoy.

This seems to be the case. I'll get to hear them at the next bay area meet in a couple of weeks. Headfi will not allow a negative comment without torches and pitchforks on these headphones, so it's best you keep negative impressions away from there.
