It is.
I was playing around with Amazon Music a few days ago and found a bunch of old industrial music. So I fell back into 1993. Some of it has held up really well, and other has gotten even more cheese that it started.
Speaking of holding up well... I ended up watching some old Outkast videos last night and those have aged well. B.O.B. still makes my booty rock.
1, 2.. 1, 2, 3; yeah!

Speaking of the 90's.. Depeche Mode came on the radio on the way back to hotel from work yesterday..

Then there was Sublime this morning on the way in
There's some funky ass Ska-esque trombonin' going on in that song I forgot about.. Makes me want to bust out my boner and get a few licks in.
Yes.. it was intentionally easy.

That sounds like my workout mix, along with Level 42, Pet Shop Boys, Billy Idol.

Talking about music.. my Sony MDR-XB300's are crapping out.
The bridge where the cable splits got pulled (dick) accidentally when I moved my chair (got hungggggg up) and the connection is touchy (handsy if you will).
Brought my XB500's in. They're over the ear so it's not great for slinking over the head all day.. but damn they fucking hammer (only 40mm too). I treat them better than the caddy.
Went online to see if I can score another pair.. fucking $300-500 (beloved and discontinued, supply vs demand).
I bought these suckers on sale for $50 6-7 years ago. Anyways.. the XB300's and 500's are the best closed headphones ever for my listening. But don't want to run them into the ground.
I'm going to repair the 300's and put them on the shelf.. so I've been looking for another pair of everyday cans.
I was thinking of getting AT 50x or 40x. My brah has both, I prefer the 50x. Both good mids and bright highs and a little low end..
buttt... need amplification and EQ to make them great... and need new ear cups bc the stock ones are garbage..
Easy enough but I don't like fucking with headphones.. and even inline clip on amp is just more shit for me to fuck with.
Fuck that.. I'm spoiled.
So... bought some everyday cans.. Z blew these up.. I'll give my later this week. Should get here tomorrow.

Do you run a DAC (pronounced: dick) at your desk Maj?
Chapter Leader (Southern Region)
Talking about Depeche Mode.. just got their new EP/LP..
I have no idea who sent it to me or why..
Which one of you fuckers wants it.
I also got some metal rock shirt.. and some album art..
I'm like.. did I sign up for some bullshit.. I don't think so.
My BIL has been buying and selling a lot of tickets recently..
Something like 5-10k a month and using my address for some..
I'm thinking they looked up the address and have been sending me promotional shit / fan club shit for shits..

Funny, Just upgraded to the Samsung S8 and the promotion they were running was $100 for the VR headset and mic, 256gb mini sd (that phone is capable of having that!) and these over the ear high end headphones (akg, but not the earbud ones they are including in the box...some high end ones) from harmon cardon...for $100
I hope they're good...

Wow thats not bad.jpg...
I was in a hifi shop in Seattle last year and they had my try some Audeze(nuts) headphones with this Chord Mojo DAc with some FLAC(calack) audio and it was pretty sick...
So damn expensive though. I have some Logitech UE Triplefi v10 IEM's that are my everyday carry's... I would love to have some Over Ear's but they're not exactly travel friendly so IEM's are the best paired with some Comply (just the) tips..
I have been eyeing the FiiO amps though as a carry around...

The speaker on my iPhone is fine for music listening. Just crank it up and everyone on the bus can listen too... Whether they want to or not.

watch it mang
FiiOs are okay but bulky. If you want a walkaround amp that does the job.. annnnnndddd has a fucking DAC.. get the SB E1
But like I said.. even though it's ultra portable and kickass.. I don't bother anymore. Most of my headphones do the bizz...

How's the battery life on that bad boy? For 35 bucks, it seems like a steal.

I need to get something for the desk too. I've been meaning to for a while. I've got some Grado SR80s at home because I'm cheap AF. But I can't wear them at work because the my music would make people uncomfortable with the open speaker design like that.

I've never run out of juice on them..
I probably plugged them in once a week to recharge.

Shiett.. although more than once has my laptop said Fuck You and switched from headphones to built-in speaker..
Last time was YG - One Time Coming..
Oh shit oh shit it's the one time coming..
I was headed out so undocked and packed up.. just let it play as I walked out of the building.. and into the next, and out of that one, into the next.. and out into the parking structure..
Anyways, if these CB1s are the truth.. I'll let you know.

My phone likes to do that to me. I'll be streaming questionable content in the car on the way to work. Phone pauses when I turn off the ignition and when I sit down at the desk, I swipe to close the app and it's like "nah, we gonna go ahead and play this at full volume."
Hmm... For $80, I'm really interested what you think of those CB1s. In4Mor.

I have real nice sony bluetooth headphones the wife bought me, but this piece of shit latitude bluetooth adapter doesn't like to Tx..
Thought about buying an aftermarket bluetooth adapter, then all the bros around here can listen to my playlist.. but I'm greedy..

Had to look it up.. wife bought me the MDR-XB950BT
It's fantastic for calls.. good battery.. syncs easy.
Bulky but not more so than their wired counterparts.

I use BT for working out ( sure you do...) and while biking and such.. but when I'm listening on a plane or at my desk, I don't need BT. I'd prefer the wired connection to get the best bang.
