  9. Chair: Steelcase Leap or Herman Miller Aeron or neither

    I like the Allsteel Acuity we have at work now more than the old Aerons. Both blow away what I have at home though. I need an upgrade.

    I have this chair at work as well and love it... wish I had something so nice at home, but am currently using some kit chair from Canadian Tire that I built. Not bad for the $100 sale price, but that's not saying much of course.

    Uh, I like headphones?

    Finished painting my place the weekend before last and have my audio rig in a more prominent place in the appartment now... your wood has been getting lots of compliments. (all the way from texas too, quite a feat laugh.png )

    Me, too. Very happy with my pair coming off a GS-X. Sound great and feel great to me.

    For the "Sennheiser sucks" folks, I'm wondering which cans of theirs they tried? And in what kind of listening environment and equipment?

    I've heard pretty much every headphone released by Sennheiser prior to the HD800 with all sorts of equipment both at my home and at meets, and while I love the HE90 and HE60, most of the others are not my cup of tea. That said, they are very comfortable, and as such I've recommended their headphones to friends in the past who are looking for TV/computer headphones for movies and video games. I'm definately not a fan of their new styling, but I'll give the HD700 and HD800 an honest listen when I get the opportunity.

    Hey buddy where have you been?? Still using the k340?

    Didn't have access to the forums at work for a while and have been crazy busy for the last two years. How have you been? Where are you living now? I'm still using the K340 as my main headphone, but picked up a pair of K271's for the subway and recently got a pair of Symphones Magnums that I'm slowly falling in love with. biggrin.png

    EDIT: AKG is making $1300 canalphones now? Oh, the humanity! sad.png

    I haven't heard the HD800's, so I can't weigh in there. I suppose it's possible they got their act together, they did produce the HE90's after all. :)

    As for not liking the new aesthetic, that is obviously a personal opinion. I wasn't in love with their old look, but it was at least more palatable to me that this weird cyborg alien design they seem to be married to currently.

    Sennheiser sucks.

    QFT, I don't understand why anyone would buy their headphones period, unless it is for a comfy pair to watch movies with or perhaps one of their noise cancelling pairs if you need that. Also, when did the headphone design guy from Sony start working at Sennheiser? evil.gif

  23. Happy Birthday philodox!

    A very belated thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

    Was testing out the new Symphones Magnums [excellent!] with some of the boys in Toronto the other day and looser101 gave me shit for not noticing this thread. Thanks Renato. wink.png

    I'm not making any promises, as I've broken them before, but I might be on here more often now as it seems I can access the forum from work now and I have tapatalk on my phone. cool.png

    My birthday was excellent. KLPG, er Rachel, took me to Costa Rica for the week of my birthday. What an amazing experience. I now understand where the inspiration for Avatar came from, along with Endor and elven forests. Caught a 28lb 'jack fish' in the ocean and learned how to smoke cigars from a pro. I'll definately be going back.
