Hey baby, nice “Cans”!!

I got a fun package in the mail today that I’m super excited about! I picked up a new set of “Cans”. For those of you who don’t know, the term cans is used in the audio world to refer to headphones. So I picked up these [Sennheiser HD280 Pro](http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=004974) cans. They are pro quality and cut a whole lot of outside noise (about 32 db, I can’t hear a damn thing with them on). I can’t hear anything with them on, which is excellent. I’m very excited about them. They have a linear response which means that they do not color the music. What you hear is what the producer intended you to hear, bringing new life to all my music. There is a downside though. I can now hear a bit of background static on my music. I need to do some tests to determine if the static is coming from a lower encoding rate, or from the laptops audio output. I’ll have to do some experiments to find out. But for now I’m going to enjoy the superb aural experience provided by my swank new cans.
You should get a portable SACD player. I hear they have pretty good S/N specs. The problem with getting nice stuff is that your old stuff becomes inadequate
I see what you did there….usually, cans aren’t referred to as headphones. You’re a witty bastard.
can you hear anything with them on? are you excited?
your “cans” have nothing on my rechargable MD player battery, or “gumstick” as we battery-philes call it. yeah, it’s an insider term.
