"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

@TheLoneliesMonk: I usually use Bluetooth headphones, but occasionally, the battery dies. I have a private office, but my boss comes in and out frequently.

karen eliot:

favorite headphones? i’m not an audiophile snob and not very knowledgeable. i like my bottom of the line sennheiser- bluetooth. rugged and hold a good charge.
  9:29am
karen eliot:

Sound great too!
Avatar 9:30am
Chris from DC:

Rugged is my main requirement right now. I'm tired of them crapping out after a few months. I may try sennheiser.
  9:30am
Alan:

Karen, I just bought $99 Senneheiser Bluetooth and $85 Trenlab bluetooth headphones
  9:31am
Alan:

Hopefully those will be good. I like both brands.
  9:32am

I also have $30 TrebLab in ear headphones. I like the brand. Reliable and holds a good charge

@alan nice! which ones sound better? had the audio technica Bluetooth.they broke 3x in the first year. sounded a bit better but made poorly.

TheLoneliestMonk:

@NGH i don't like giving money to amazon, but due to the huge variance in audio quality of most podcasts, i bought one of those small Anker speakers, mostly because of the reported battery life. was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound

Symphonized sound great for the price but just don't hold up over time.

headphones? eegad. Last time I shopped around, couldn't stand how everything seemed to be either too flat or too artificially bass-y.

Best compromise seemed to be the Bowers & Wilkins ones found at apple stores; cloth pads = comfortable as well. Not cheap, but it's a medical/mental necessity..

This is why I like WFMU ... a song suddenly crops up that you never heard ... and it's great. Can someone tell me about "The Stallion"?

The Stallion: was that a cover of some song from The Wall. Was it "The Newbridge Wall"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:01am
TomDash:

Hey Andy (DC) - The Stallion is Ben Wallers and one other member of UK band Country Teasers - they did a triple LP version of Pink Floyd's The Wall last year that is quite an achievement to say the least...Dark Side Of The Wall. Brings back sense memories of the original carpeted all over the radio back in the day...

Rev. Turnip Druid:

bowers & wilkins definitely not cheap. had to do battle with many internal $$ demons for that, & had to conclude that as many hours a week as I use 'phones, it's almost like a medical necessity.
Avatar ♥ 11:15am
Rev. Turnip Druid:

Also: shocking how bad many other ones (that are just as expensive) are, in sound quality. ... The whole market is saturated with wretched dog poo, sadly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19am
coelacanth∅:

oh i sure don't like wretched dog poo. i'm not even sure i like regular dog poo that much.
Avatar 11:20am
Chris from DC:

My problem is that they don't last that long. It's almost not worth paying more for sound quality when they give out after a short time. I guess I'd pay more for something I know is built like a tank at this point.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:24am
coelacanth∅:

my ancient koss still sound good, after 40 years. not great, but as phones are unjustifiably expensive now they sound good enough. i mostly listen via large (also old) loudspeakers anyway.
Avatar ♥ 11:30am
Rev. Turnip Druid:

totally dig, CfDC. These 'phones at least have a removable/replaceable cable .. & that's the thing that fails most often; so I've ordered a couple spares. Living without 'phones is a human-rights violation. Power to the people.

Lovely sounds! Also, there was a jackass on the PATH train playing his music out loud today. I'm never sure whether or not to say something. Then we're kinda both jackasses. Fortunately someone else spoke up first, and then of course I just confused the hell out of the guy who spoke up when he didn't understand what I said when I tried to back him up. Jackass chaos.
