I sometimes visit the head-fi.org, and I have experienced varietyies of headphones, earbuds of different brands( but all not expensive) It is a wired hobby because people usually addicts to Tv, Internet but I am a headphone addicts. Anyway, are there any more abnormal people like me?

1.Sennheiser 2. AKG 3.Beyerdynamic 4.Grado 5.Koss. 6.Audio-technica 7. Sony. 8.Eytomic 9. Weston 10. Ultimate Ear 11. Stax
12.Kenwood(MP3 maker) 13.Creative 14.goldring 15.Denon 16. Ultrasone 17.Yuin (lol if you know this, coz it is a Chinese maker..)
You are quite our kind of people if you know more than 7 from the above lists...

Yes that is a peculiar hobby that I havent heard of before but I meaneveryone is slightly different. In headphones all i care about is that they are comfortable, stay in your ear and sounds good. Im currently using some panasonic ones which are really good.

Well, I have a small old 19th century coin collection, and I would like to get some victorian shillings and penny coins while at Imperial, but... ¿headphones? I'm sorry... lol

Anyway, the good thing in collections is that you can collect everything, from coins to headphones, from flags to stamps...

A ... headphone collection? That's an unusual hobby.
Sup babe? Why don't you come over? I'll show you my pictures-of-badly-drawn-on-walls-political-symbols collection. K?
To each his own, I guess.

Me,either! But all I am now only interested in is headphones and earphones. Come on, you may by a fairly good one within 100 pounds and use it for years, so it is not that expensive...

Lol I collect PZT's :B!

I think having such a weird hobby actually proves I am not a nerd...Being interested in museums(it is just an example of a destination when I spend my free time travelling around!) instead of drinking overnight can actually prove me a nerd? I really doubt how you get to the conclusion. I really suggest you spending some time visiting the side www.headfi.org and you will find a lot of "nerds" there
You can fairly say I am abnormal, or you can say I am insane, but not NERDS!!! Even if I am, I will not deny it, just like here I admitting I am quite different from normal perople:p:

hd215 is quite suitable for DJ use.. P.s. cx-300, I would recommend you to avoid it...

at no point did i say liking museums made someone nerdy. at no point did i say collecting headphones was nerdy. and at no point did i say finding going out drinking weird, nerdy.

doing all 3 though... makes you sound pretty much like a nerd

Museums are only a destination of travelling.(London is famous for museums so I mentioned it). Being addicted to headphones is because normal headphone cannot serve my ear to enjoy the music. Everytime I upgrade my headphone and a better sound is obtained, I fell myself more into the music. Drinking, I suppose quite a lot people are not interested in that, especially in China and most importantly, when you are under 17, meaning that drinking is against the law.
1.Like travelling around 2.Enjoying listening to the music.3. Avoid too much alcohol and obeying the law If this three thing makes a people nerd, most people on earth will be classified into this category, even you might find yourself or your friends being a nerd someday.:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

no you've changed what i said. enjoying music is not the same as collecting earphones. avoiding alcohol is not the same as thinking negatively of people who do drink. and travelling around is not the same as visiting museums

regardless, this is my opinion. cool story tho, bro
