RayFVery 80’s IMO. They’re not the same kind of ugly as Stax Sigma or Jecklin Floats, but they have a kind of “Studio Ugly” that kind of grew on me. Like, I’d wear them in public with a cheeky grin, and challenge people to give them a listen, use them to start a conversation but not to fit in.

RayFIf you have many baby pictures, wearing headphone, and a goofy grin... you win! Might have to break out the old slide film scanner ;)

RayF$62,247.42 after tax.
Although, the little red DAP I’m holding in the HD 650 picture (3rd down) was just given to me by a friend who had just upgraded to something else. He figured the resale value on a super cheap MP3 player would be negligible, so now I’ve got a light DAP to go jobbing with or to use as a source when I want music but need to save my phone battery.

RayFEw, foul reference.
I totally guessed at the cost BTW, most of the expensive headphones were demo’d at Head-Fi CanJams and other audio events. I’m not that special, I just chose to set aside time to go experience these. CanJam NYC is particularly easy for me to attend: If I plan ahead and book a seat on a Megabus, I pay $27 and listen to music for 7 hours and 30 minutes, split a hotel room with two or three friends, and have an adventure in New York!

RayFFriends? Or do you mean the travel arrangements? Yeah, I compromise on my arrangements a bit so I can still have fun while staying under budget. My biggest goal is to save up for a starter house, but IMO it’s important to still live your life while respecting the long term.
