"My God, what happened to him?"

"Looks like he was staked out and then deliberately run over by a Segway about 1,000 times."

"But who ... who could do a thing like that?"

Ruh rho!

Ruh rho!

But why would anyone be riding a Segway inside a hotel

The only problem with this is he would then throw him in his WCC modified Bentley and drop him off in the woods...

Tyll, has anyone come to your site yet and been very confused by the talk of the celebrity headphones? Like they're not in on the joke, and thought that they were indeed the best headphones you could buy? Or have you not reached that mass market audience yet.

If only!

Sadly, it seems that 90% of the head-fi audience hasn't heard of Inner Fidelity yet. Think of the amount of stupid posts over on the other site asking questions that Tyll has definitively answered.

Its one of the comforting differences in the two sites is that people here tend to read up before posting lest they look like an idiot. If only the same mentality pervaded over there.

On another note:

I watched the Video Podcast from the other day. I don't quite think the interviewer knew what to do with you, Tyll. He seemed quite a bit more enamored with the title of the article than the substance of what you were saying.

Not much on InnerFidelity, but you wouldn't believe some of the comments I get on my YouTube Channel. That one is getting out to the broader audience. I have 53 Videos, over 2000 subscribers, about 6000 views per day, and over 400,000 views since the start. Dude, that YouTube thing is huge. You should do some videos

Being a wheelchair user, anytime I see an able-bodied person ride a Segway I have this irresistible urge to run them down in my car. What a waste of legs...

If only!

You really think so? I search for my name and innerfidelity over there most every day. Seems like lots of people are aware of InnerFidelity. I can't link over there, of course, so that's got to be rather spontaneous from the crowd there. Along those lines, feel free to link to my stuff here and there, that is how the word gets spread.

Oh, and Justin, I'm really hoping that this article is the one that really starts making in-roads out there with the kids. It doubled my traffic yesterday, gonna be interesting to see how long the bump lasts.

My understanding is he isn't able bodied.

That's my understanding too. Don't know anything about his condition ... but if I had any "condition" I'd be sitting down not standing.

But then he'd be lower than others.

Why read if you can watch ? I doubt the youngster have any patient to spend time reading more than a 2 words article.

I watched the end of the pod cast and it sees the guys were surprised with your reviewing eccentricity.

Ah, then I'm sorry for the insinuation of vehicular manslaughter. The guy who designed the Segway, Dean Kamen, used the same gyroscope-based balancing technology prior to the two-wheel scooter in a 4-wheel wheelchair which could climb stairs. At the very least I'm glad that the popularity of the Segway has allowed him more funding for further research. And I suppose it's a decent mobility tool, though sitting down would be far less stressful on the body and more convenient, as has been pointed out.

it was neat when he tripped off and almost clobbered edstrelow's table/Stax gear.

Tyll, i've been reading the comments on your youtube videos and I just have a few questions

* How does XX headphone compare to Soul by Ludacris SL150

* Please rank all of the headphones from 1 to 100. Thanks.

Oh yeah, on the topic: going to have to try out the MixMaster next time at a bestbuy or something.

& have you had a go at the Nixon/Third Man Records "Master Blaster"?

I don't think he's doing any research anymore... http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/09/segway-death/

That's the company owner, not the guy that did the research

Ah yes you're right. For some reason I assumed they were one and the same.

i think i found my favorite youtube comment so far

"Beats suck! Get a quality headphone, like Bose!"

honestly though, if I were 16 right now, i'm pretty sure I would have a pair of Beats. They seem to be today sort of like the Klipsch 2.1 computer speaker system of 2000 -- to a 16 year old, the best speakers in the world. I had a pair of Sony MDR-V6 until I dug my way through Head-Fi to find out about Grados and Sennheisers.

LOL...indeed, guilty as charged, had a set of those Klipsch at 17

Yeah, I was definitely going to get the Klipsch 2.1. They were too expensive though, so I bought a 2.1 system from edifier instead. They sucked.

i settled for Altec Lansing

Epic article, Tyll. Loved it.

Creative Soundworks 4.1 for me.

I still have one part of it, the Alpha Taiwan 4-gang volume pot.
