Roundup: 5 headphones

"I can't imagine any computer interested person who does not know what LAN is. When you go to a LAN you can't bring your loudspeakers, as it would end up rather messy with hundreds of persons listening to different kinds of music, games or movies. That is why everyone supply themselves with a pair of headphones and most of the time they are very impressed by the sound of a 2004 quality headphones, and maybe even replace the speaker system with a pair of headphones."

I have some Grado SR-80's. You'd think they would have at least some Sennheiser or Grado headphones to compare as well.

Yeah,

It's the CANS! (sounds of rifle shots...

)

Anyway, to get good audio, it seems we still need to get phones designed and marketed (!) for audio, like y'all have. Those phones were made and marketed for the mass computer market, and when pushed, sound like it...

I still use some 30 (!) year old Sennheisers...

Same here. People need to do some research before purchasing some cheap headphones they are not going to like.
