A pair? What are you going to do, set up an 18.4 Dolby Atmos home theater? Aye keed, aye keed.

iPod Touch -- "iOS 9.3.5 ; Your software is up to date." XD Yes, I checked, it's only a 5th gen.

Poor turtle. (Aye keed, aye keed...)

Cool! I mean...cool.

Malcolm Young.

Oh, okay, that's even better, since that's closer to my iPod Touch.

Which iPad?

because who doesn't want violin-induced incontinence?

I am currently listening to Tidal on my iPad through Bluetooth to my JBL Everest Elite 750NC. Tidal is lossless, but Bluetooth isn't, so the only thing I would change is to make that a wired setup with a DAC/Amp, and perhaps a hosting computer. The nice thing about an Android or iOS device is that you can locally store the albums. This is actually my work setup, I'm just too lazy to set up a home headphone system, but I will probably do so this weekend.

I waited for 11.1 on my iPad, with no crashes, and no measurable deterioration of battery life (though I think maybe a little). Is it possible it's so far gone you need a fresh install?

Egad! Casually noshing for 7.5 hours? Sounds like heaven.

Unholy carp, I have a vague memory of hearing this on WHFS way back when, I love Britpop. Instant fan.

Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Reks!

Cables matter! XD

I'm on a Pineapple Thief binge, after receiving their live CD/DVD, Where We Stood and watching it 2ce in a row this weekend. They didn't have enough of the space rock from their back catalog (like the epic "Remember Us"), so I'm taking care of it myself. "Wednesday 23rd" is particularly beautiful little slice of music. Both tracks can be found here:

They're going from Canada to North Carolina and skipping right past me this time (presumably because it's Thanksgiving week), unfortunately. And I'm getting too old to be driving 4.5 hours each way to North Carolina. Although I do like what I heard of theirs.

Happy birthday, Donny...er...dadgum autocorrect...Dinny. (party favour noise)

Try searching on Emily Haines American Dream.

Did you have the new one or the old one? I presume since you've had it a while, and since they are referred to as "new" and "old" on Amazon, that you had the "old style". Old: New: Regarding indestructibility, the DT770s are, indeed, built like tanks. I've abused the snot out of them, and they've never broken. I think that's one of the things that makes them a studio staple. The HD600s, if I recall correctly, have a metal strip through the band, so are therefore that little bit less prone to being broken. The Sony MDR-V6/-7506 needed to be treated a little better (that either of the above), because they had so many joints so they could be folded together, but I think most people know that and therefore treat them with a little more respect. I think it's a fair question to ask how sturdy it is, although I'm not going to base my opinion on one data point. So since you own one, what sort of power demands does it require? I know the HD600s scale like mad -- the better you feed them, the better they sound -- and the above-mentioned Sony headphones hardly scale at all -- they sound pretty much the same no matter what you feed them, unless the amp can't handle lower impedance phones. And how would you characterize it? Is it a studio headphone, "accurate", or a home high-fi phone, "euphonic-ish". Bass-heavy? Scooped? Bright? Veiled? etc. I looked at the frequency response, but I prefer subjective impressions. The DT770 are notoriously bass-heavy headphones, but with sufficient power, it can be controlled and deep. It does have a slight etch to it which I at one time got used to because I listened on the Creek OBH-11SE, a FET-based headphone amp, and later on tubes, and both those amps helped ameliorate the etch.
