And yeah even at $40 they’re still a good deal. They have about a $10 build quality, though. However the $500+ sound quality more than makes up for it.

By the way, I forgot to mention that you should also get the velour ear pads mentioned in the modding guide I linked to earlier. The stock ones are too thin and as such they can cause ear pain. The velour also helps with bass response.

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but Amazon. They love to randomly jack the price up but it often drops back down to $25. You can set up a price watch on CamelCamelCamel.

Tell me how, then, because I don’t know how to get around the font thing. Everybody’s computer has a different set of fonts, and blocking browsers from seeing what fonts you have installed would help identify you even more.

As someone who likes the open sky feeling, this is why I drive a convertible instead.

The only time I’m reminded that DST is a thing in most of the world, is when people are complaining about it online after it already switched over.

Yeah but how is that not China’s fault too? Americans buy cheap products from there because China pays their employees pennies.

For me it’s the Superlux HD681. Audiophile-quality sound for $25.

The deep bass, neutral mids, and near-perfect imaging and sound staging makes them ideal for games, movies, and music. It has an excellent pinna-related transfer function, so everything sounds like it’s coming from in front of you and all around, rather than inside your head. Like being surrounded by speakers. In games you can pinpoint sounds with millimeter precision. And since they’re so cheap, they don’t have to be babied; when they break you just buy another pair and go about your day.

No joke, I’ve bought and returned $500 planar magnetic headphones that weren’t as good as these. The only issue with them is that the highs can be a bit siblant, leading to harshness, but that can easily be EQed out or permanently fixed with a mod.

Seriously, just go buy a pair. I mean everyone reading this, even if you’re not an enthusiast. They’re so cheap, it’s all but impossible to regret it.

Some people will do literally anything except pirate, it seems.
