Hi, I had a pair of sony in-ear canal headphones, which died due to abysmal cable quality.. the heavy bass bothered me as well.
anyway I like this style of headphone.. any recommendations? shure models are supposed to be good, but I don't feel like paying a shit ton just yet.

yeah that's what I've heard.. those and shure.. god damnit. I wish there were something cheap I could pick up around here.. I want headphones NOW but all these decent models cost shit-tons in this crappy pretentious city.
oh sorry about my radio silence, I'm a boring person, awful in fact, etc. blah

hahah! the google links proved useful for once!
Etymotic/Shure Headphones Ridiculously Low Prices For The Discriminating Audiophile

don't worry about radio silence, and you're definately not boring, man! My computer is completely busted (I'm finally getting a new one (dual-core shizzle).. trying to figure out the specifics still, but as soon as the money roll in, I'm buying), so I can't read mail and stuff like that too often anyway...
feel free to rant, though.

problem is that my current pair possibly frayed to shit because of all the skating I do.. all the sweat I dumped into it. I could pay $100+ but then what if all the production costs go into the speakers, and the cable is shit? fuck this planet, I'm taking off.

how about getting those that are on the outside of your ears and kind of "clip on?"
don't know what they are called, nor do I know of quality ones, as I never bothered to look into those types of phones...

I don't want anyone to hear anything I'm listening to.. also I don't want any sound from outside.. finally I don't want headphones larger than my player, which excludes getting the bigass ones. those are annoying anyway, except when sedentary.

Someone told me the other day that those type of headphones increase the bacteria in your ear by like 20 per cent.

well with lazy use it makes sense.. but I always keep my old set in a clean case when not in use so..
I mean, I think they are a bad idea, considering how easily you can damage your hearing, but given my requirements, there aren't many choices.
maybe I should just fold and get a set of big ass ones..

oh yeah, was just checking wikipedia, which mentioned something which was an original cause for me purchasing them... since they block noise so well, you aren't forced to listen too loudly.

hmmmm ok. is this what you were talking about?. money.
yeah for skating though.. fuck I hate buying things, it makes me feel like death. I stress like nuts to make an exact purchase, and even so the success rate isn't nearly close enough to 100%. booooo

which model did you have? the sony's fit very well, and would only fall out because of the stupid heavy cable extension.

yeah! or.. maybe not EXACTLY.. there are hd 25-1, then there's hd25 sp or something, but anyway.. this one may be the same as 25-1, and as you can see it's 70 ohm, which means it should work pretty good on portable thingies

yeah.. btw if you click the zoom link it says 25-1. but you're saying 2 5-1... whatever.
btw, a funny anime is pani poni dash, though the first episode is weak. oyasumi has the best translation.. the only other great thing for me now is yakitate. Dokuro chan became somewhat repetitive.. let's see, gunbuster 2, gainax's wannabe of their own flcl, has some moments, but is kinda lame. wikipedia has a pretty rich flcl article. eureka seven became the shittiest thing ever. this summer has made me hate everything; I can't wait for school to start again.

hmm...
I'll look into pani poni dash! the title sounds promising! yakitate is still great, yeah! I got a few episodes before the comp crashed. Has dokuro 5-6 come translated? I remember something about gunbuster, but not sure what it was.. is it a robot-maid? eureka was promising, but I kind of expected it'd chase its own tail or whatever one may call it... and yeah, I know what you mean.. it'll be great to get back to studies so that I actually have something to do...

eureka became really mundane and stereotypical, in the worst way. gunbuster you should see if bored.. and glad you enjoy yakitate. dokuro 5-6 translated, but I only watched the untranslated version. pani poni is another anime in the great tradition of japanese anime & culture satires... woot
i have stuff to do, it all just sucks ass.. only one more week.. when do you start again?

you don't feel retarded saying "i have inline skates"?
"inline skates" makes me go BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAA
boarding is so much more graceful than blading. i for one can't staaand blading. looks so dumb.
ps - in-ear earphones are much noisier on busses etc than big, proper headphones. also, proper headphones block out outside noise far better, in my experience.

I never see skaters land moves, and whether or not that is critical, one thing is true: inline skates are a much better means of transportation.
by in-ear I mean the ear canal type.. I think you don't know what I'm talking about. google the shure e2c.
it's basically accepted that they block noise way better than even noise cancelling systems, which of course still suck balls, but whatever.

says something about the difficulty and skillfulness of skating compared to blading.
i mean the fucking blades are connected to your feet, they're already extensions of your body. the skill and talent in boarding is making this totally external board with wheels attached do what you want.
you're right about the fact that blades are a better means of transportation however.

there's something to be said about difficulty, however. If something is 'easier', then people will simply push it to a higher level. compare playing chords on a violin and piano: it's 'easier' to play many notes simultaneously on the piano (understatement.. the comparison becomes impossible). That doesn't make piano easier.. you're just expected to do even more ridiculous shit. If you took an amazingly adept skateboarder and put him on inlines, you'd expect him to still be impressive right? He would take the 'easier' device and do more with it.
I like the connection I have with my skates. it's fucking awesome, they feel like seamless part of body.
I saw a skateboard recently that had foot straps.. hahahaa it was basically hobbled quad-skates with a connecting bar. dumb.

No.
Those inline kids are always getting in the way. I know some real good skaters that are real fun to watch in action. Then you still got guys pulling off that old school shit. Handplanting Mike V style. Riding up fences and shit. Good stuff.
Assbear? LOL :D

I start this tuesday I think... and I'm also finally out of that stuff I was on that was kind of philosophy, but more linear and now move on to the stuff that actually has the name "philosophy" and that actually is philosophy.
