i still kinda want grados

2016-11-15 20:00:22 UTC  

but i dont really see the purpose

2016-11-15 20:00:31 UTC  

grados are pretty terrible

2016-11-15 20:00:35 UTC  

over ears fit better

2016-11-15 20:00:37 UTC  

for real life use

2016-11-15 20:00:40 UTC  

because they're so open

2016-11-15 20:00:48 UTC  

grados are made in brooklyn ny so they're bad

2016-11-15 20:00:58 UTC  

just like timberlands 😉

2016-11-15 20:01:03 UTC  

and you only need on ears for compact outdoor use and open back negates that

2016-11-15 20:01:31 UTC  

i think open air is a bad meme

2016-11-15 20:01:34 UTC  

i guess if youre going for a pleasant stroll in a quiet neighborhood and want to hear if youre about to be shanked

2016-11-15 20:01:41 UTC  

open air is vastly superior

2016-11-15 20:02:11 UTC  

*want to hear the multiculturalism

2016-11-15 20:02:20 UTC  

kek

2016-11-15 20:02:55 UTC  

personally I prefer over the ear but I have an on the air pair for outside use.

2016-11-15 20:02:59 UTC  

Holy shit

2016-11-15 20:03:01 UTC  

i don't trust my ears but in my unprofessional opinion there's not much of a difference with open air besides allowing everyone around you to hear your bad music

2016-11-15 20:03:04 UTC  

That guy is too kawaii

2016-11-15 20:03:07 UTC  

*ear

2016-11-15 20:03:17 UTC  

>Ducke headphones

2016-11-15 20:03:22 UTC  

open air gives a much better soundstage and less congested sound

2016-11-15 20:03:29 UTC  

since less reflection

2016-11-15 20:04:01 UTC  

though yeah using them outdoors is pretty pointless

2016-11-15 20:04:06 UTC  

theyre better for home use

2016-11-15 20:04:59 UTC  

apparently people replace grado drivers with PCX100 drivers

2016-11-15 20:05:13 UTC  

might be intersting to try and make a more bassy grado

2016-11-15 20:05:55 UTC  

http://gradolabs.com/company I wonder if they give tours

2016-11-15 20:07:12 UTC  

if you admit that you just like the aesthetic of grados, I agree

2016-11-15 20:07:16 UTC  

i like that oldschool look

2016-11-15 20:09:00 UTC  

feels like a hypemachine

2016-11-15 20:10:02 UTC  

yeah they look fucking mint

2016-11-15 20:10:09 UTC  

they're like the headphone equivalent of http://www.brooksengland.com/en_us/heritage; a heritage brand that lives and dies by aesthetics

2016-11-15 20:10:32 UTC  

but there's a lot of science they're ignoring

2016-11-15 20:10:38 UTC  

and newer materials

2016-11-15 20:10:38 UTC  

i'd love to go around skateboarding with an icecream in one hand, a walkman in the other, and wearing grados

2016-11-15 20:10:42 UTC  

gotta get new headphones

2016-11-15 20:11:07 UTC  

especially while wearing some ugly ass hawaiian shirt

2016-11-15 20:11:09 UTC  

the mdr7506 are 98 yuro, those are prolly the cheapest solid headphones out there

2016-11-15 20:11:13 UTC  

and khaki cargo shorts

2016-11-15 20:11:24 UTC  

7506 are only good for monitoring
