I would like to wear my large home style headset outdoors, with superior sound quality compared to my puny portable headset. I'm afraid it might look a bit ridiculous though, walking around in public with that huge thing on my head. What's your verdict on this? |
||||||||
|

I don't use large headset outdoors. My guess is that too many people use these more as fashion. |
||||||||
|

i use my large set outdoors on occasion. i always feel a bit conspicuous when i do. in a way, i prefer the smaller in-ear phones though. i like being able to hear the city around me mixed in with the music. feels more "soundtracky" i guess. |

So Its the music, quality isnt it ? Those little IPOD headphones woulnt make the cut for me. |
||||||||

only get so much quality from an MP3 anyway. better phones are just gonna make you hear that sparkly crunchy mp3 distortion better. |
||||||||

theres nothing wrong with distortion, you little one will learn that in her many happy long years of life Braeden slept for an amazing 5 1/2 hours last night. |

Good question. Leia seems to have the best solution. Dont know how well it'll work with your cute curls though |

I'd hit it back then, she sorta looks a little old these days. |

You're right about fashion being the reason. Proper hi-fi/DJing headphones invariably sound worse than cheap ones on an ipod/similar device. 2 Reasons; 1. They more accurately reproduce the sound, so mp3 artifacts are more apparent. 2. Some technical reason that I don't know enough about to clearly describe, but something to do with different resistance of high end headphones, which makes them sound rubbish on anything other than a mixer/hi fi etc. as small devices seem to lack the "drive" to push the signal round well. Also, if they're closed back, it's pretty dangerous to walk around in public in them; you can't hear traffic, sirens, people creeping up on you, etc. You're free to wear whatever headphones you like, but the only reason that won't make you look a clown, in my book, is that in-ear bud style headphones are too big for your very small ears (my girlfriend falls into this category). Even if that's the case, if you're into your music enough, you could justify buying some of those pricey Shure in-ear ones that are made from a mould to fit your ear. |

question: in the trash-compactor scene, bra or no bra? I could've sworn that I could spot some nipple under her dress. maybe it was just my testosterone-infested mind doing the thinking |

I'll watch that scene this weekend w/Braeden and he will tell me the answer, the answers to the questions in life. |

excellent. please report back. |

Yes sir. |

She wore no undergarments during the entire film. Check the Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy documentary that came with the trilogy box set. |

in ear headphones suck really. can't stand them. i've found a pair of small external clip on headphones are the best compromise, but if i'm on a long travel, i'd prefer my 'large headphones' and also in winter they keep your ears warm too. |

I agree with drunken mastah, dont bother about what others think. I always use big headphones :p |

I don't see the point, you look like a dick for slightly better sound quality. there is too much noise in the real world anyway, and its probably a good idea if you can hear something of the world around you anyway |
||||||||

large headphones with low impedance will also allow you to properly reproduce the sound without blasting your ears so that you get tinnitus (which sucks really really bad) like in-ear headphones do. |

oh wow 5.5. i don't think cecilia slept that long till about 4 months. last night she slept all the way through though, no midnight feeding, first time for her. |

Congs to Cecilia ! Braeden did wake up at 3:15am, ate some, then somehow Laura was back in bed by 3:30am. It was an amazing evening. |

Ridiculous. But according to Adam Ant, ridicule is nothing to be scared of, Prince Charming, Prince Charming. |

On paper it may seem they don't sound as good with portable players. But my senhiesers make my crappy mp3's sound full and rich. And as an added bonus the block out the hoards of shit people around me on the bus, in the streets etc.. If your worried about clunkiness have you thought about 80's style walkman headphones? probobly a good compremise. |

You people look like bugs with those contraptions over your damn ears |

you are absolutely right mimi :) they look like bugs |

you can get high resolution in-ear monitors which gives you no excuse to wear bulky headphones in public. |

whenever i see people with massive headphones (goths/emos in gloucester) they always have them round their necks, they are never actually listening to them. they must be some new fashion accessory |

I wear big headphones for a few reasons: 1) in ear don't fit in my ears. I think my ears are an odd shape or soemthing. they always fall out 2)I can listen to music with a decent bass response and do not get tinnitus because of the proximity to eardrum or volume level required. 3)keeps my ears warm in winter without looking gay with ear muffs 4) sound quality is better. maybe you can hear more mp3 artifacts, but use a decent encoder/rate and its not a problem, in ear have no bass, so I'd rather have bass 5)Everyone has in ear, even middle aged business men, be different. The number of times people with in ear headphones walk past with them so loud i can hear them from a few metres away makes me think that at least with big ones my hearing will be working unlike theirs in 30 years time. |

sure you get better sound quality etc etc. But i personally don't like wearing my sony studio monitors outdoors for 2 reasons, the weather, and they're expensive. my earbuds work fine for my ipod, and they still allow noise around me come through which is good if you are walking around. If i have those big headphones on its hard to hear when people are around me...etc |
