I got these

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8323

and they sound better than any headphones I have had before, and are even objectively better than Beats when tried back-to-back.

Headphones are a scam. But Monoprice headphones, or buy counterfeit Beats from the flea market if you want to look fancy.

I don't just hate the rich because of jealousy. I'm sure that's a big part of it, but the real problem I have is that they can be just as self centered and short sighted as the rest of us. If I ever get to the point where buying something like this seems reasonable, I hope someone blows my loving brains out and feeds my remains to pigs.

I have Sennheiser HD650s and I don't think I will ever spend more than that for the reasons stated by Dog House.

Diminishing returns and all that....

An argument can be completely true while also being bad. I did the math, for I have the sperg, and I apparently could've bought about 261 pounds of rice for what I spent on those. Care to extrapolate how much rice Demonachizer's cans would buy? My point was that I'd hope that if I was ever in such a position to afford something like that, I would feel great guilt in spending it that way instead of something more noble. Thus, were those that think it's ok to pour $20,000 worth of champagne into a pool to be, say, crushed into diamonds and shot into the sun, it would be just and good.

also, and i really hate to have to spell this out, over ear>iem>on ear

Yes but how many bags of rice did you actually buy for the poor last year? I gave approximately 25,000 USD to the WFP last year. I will leave the number of pounds of rice that is as an exercise for the reader.

EDIT:


Please feel free to follow suit and donate 38 dollars (the cost of your headphones).

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

why did you buy some lovely overpriced headphones?

The super soft over ear pads are really comfortable to use for long periods of time. They fold up not brilliantly but good enough for carry on luggage. When theyre on your ears you dont notice the creaky all plastic materials at all. They isolate or muffle out ext. sound well enough for plain and train noises and those goddamn safety instructions blaring over the terrible speakers that they crank up once the engines start spinning (without requiring loving batteries get the hell out with that)
They sound allright2me. Solid 50mm drivers. They are bassy and their supposed to be, cymbals suffers a bit but vocals and such are great.
An old ipod classic drives them well enough for podcasts, and puts a nice blanket over the poo poo audio quality of an old ipod classic and podcast recordings.
A new ipad drives them super well.
Throw an amp on it and they will beat your head in with no distortion at all, they seem more indestructible than some in ears buds ive tried. And you can gain some of the non bass sound back.

Just use open air over ear headphones, they tend to be slightly higher quality for the same pricepoint than closed ones anyways.

You're an idiot, this post is loving stupid on multiple levels, but I can kinda afford it, so here goes:


Does this mean you have to donate another 11 grand now? What's your upper limit on charity chicken? My car will be old enough to vote next year; want to do it for automotive spending too?

I saw the bank thread. You've got over 3.5 mil not even considering assets, so I fail to see how $25,000/yr is anything other than an annual fart in the wind. Given your obvious proclivities for spending inordinate amounts on frivolities, I'm fairly sure that you could stand to give orders of magnitude more than you do. But good job with the donation to win an argument on the internet, though. Good things can happen for bad reasons.

Also Doobman, you paid too much for lovely cans, congrats on being dumb. :thumbsup:

You should spend less time counting other people's money and making ridiculous assumptions on what they do with it. 25k to WFP doesn't mean that the sum of charitable giving in FY2014 was 25k. I generally give ~20% of net.

I feel like this thread is just going to be some weird poo poo ouroboros at this point so cheers and all that. Keep being negative and pissy with people and making weird assumptions. I will show myself out.

I'm not saying you should live like a monk, just that 4k for headphones is ludicrous, and you should feel bad for it.
