The Seven Voyages Of Steve

Oh no I think my recently purchased DT770 Pros have turned me into a headphone snob. 😭 I bought them recently & listen to music at my desk while working, first time I spent decent money on headphones. I have some cheap TaoTronic BT headphones that I use for podcasts while I’m doing housework, but due to most podcasts being on break I listened to music on them today. I found myself thinking about the “muddyness of the mids” compared to hearing these tracks at my desk, please kill me now 😬

@sinbad Hahahaha, serves you right for infecting me :p

@sinbad one of the things I really, really loved about my old Jag was the speaker system it had. Bowers & Wilkins surround sound with FOURTEEN speakers! Everywhere you looked there was a speaker, and they were all super high quality. I'm not an audio geek on any level, but the difference was massively notable even to me. I sold that car 2 years ago now, and I still haven't gotten over how comparatively flat everything sounds in others. 😩

@sinbad 😄 I think I still have some old TaoTronic BT buds in a “might need someday” drawer. These days I do like the beyers for music and some swanky Sony noise cancelling ones for Teams calls - but the ones I use the most for music and podcasts are some cheap EarFun Air BT buds that live in my pocket, so much so that both them and my phone have worn outlines on the outside of the jeans. Plenty good enough for my cloth ears when I don’t want to wear cans: amzn.eu/d/0gdyx7T

@sinbad reminds me of when I was a kid and had a crap stereo (integrated cd player, radio and twin tape deck) and for years thought that Prodigy Charly tune just had a big bit of silence in it - was a major revelation when it turned out that I had just never heard proper BASS and there was a whole musical world out there that had been hidden from me :-)
