This is a catch-up post with some minor details.
Yoga was a bust, though the instructor has an amazing body. Everyone else was old. Don't know where the chicks from last Friday went. Oh well, I'll stick with it. It makes me feel amazing.
At the pool the other day with my son, two 16-18 year olds pulled up a lounge chair next to mine. One of them was extremely cute, and said, "Oh, I better be careful taking this off, or everyone is going to get a free show." Shockingly, I turned to her and said (with a chuckle and smile on my face), "Yeah, please don't, he's only 3!" and pointed to my son. Meanwhile, I thought, "I'll take a show." Anyway, they giggled. I think they liked my six-pack.
I purchased a condenser mic, pop-filter, and mixer to use with Audacity to record my vocals and guitar this week. Damn, I wish I had done that a long time ago. I sound just like I thought I would. Never record yourself with a cell phone and judge based off of that. You'll think you suck, when you don't! Now, if I could just find someone with much better guitar skills than me, I'll be set...
Taking that further, I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser 280HD Pro headphones from Guitar Center, and I'm going to pick them up today! This is double bang-for-my-buck, as I'll use them to run my subs AND as studio headphones. TOTALLY PSYCHED ABOUT THIS! Thanks for the heads-up, albeit long-ago, on these puppies, Duke. Can't WAIT to use 'em!
You're going to absolutely love these headphones Brother. It takes a few days, as the more you listen, the better the sound quality gets on them. But within a week, you'll be blown away by the quality of these headphones.
The best part about them is that they don't have any artificial bass boosting, so what you hear is a clean sound. This is great for sub use, and also if you want to get a good range on music as well. You can hear a lot of the finite details in the sounds that you sometimes miss, due to a higher bass over the instruments.
Let me know how they work for you. Psyched for you, that you got these bad boys. Awesome value for the quality and function.
So far, so good! I was reading a review by some audiophile who said he plugged them in and let them play music 24 hours a day for 3 days. Not sure I'm going to do that, as I already think they sound great (and the noise isolation is fantastic) - but to hear that they only get better is crazy. Lookin' forward to it!
Gotta dowse my loops for the night, and then I'm off to see if I can sleep on my back for some 5 odd hours.
It's doable, you will probably have to get used to it, though. It took me about a week. They don't fall off even if you move in your sleep - worst case scenario, one of the ears is going to move slightly (which should be okay for the purposes of sub-use). Although I do have the HD558 model, which is built a little bit differently, but it's Sennheisers, so the general design is pretty much identical.
Thinking Shannon maybe should conjure up an endorsement deal with Sennheiser, seeing how popular they're becoming around here.
