    Your avatar (is that you) and your sig (or is THAT you ;)) pretty much give it away

    I have hols ATM, it what should be done in holidays, especially if I am home alone (which I am :D :D :D )

    over the head ones aren't too bad at home, but if you plan on taking them with you when you go out and such consider the other two as they are much more portable

    PS - Nice to meet you BTW ;)

    Seems like you, Rayyan and myself can't live without music :p

    Thanks!
    I'll be checking out the BackBeats most likely :)
    For a chick I'd think you're gonna go with the butterfly ones :p

    Night man. Sound like myself going to bed at 4AM haha.

    Yes, that's nice to be on Holiday! :D

    I could order both the over-the-head Altec's and the in ear..and see which one I like best! Nice to meet you, also! :cool:

    Nope it's a given music is an incredible realm of *everything* to me..and yes we do!

    I might go with the butterfly ones...hard decision!

    Your really rather liking yours, aren't you! :D


    Cin ;) :D

    Music is an addiction...it's soothing, etc :D Expressive. yes.
    Thanks ;)
    Mmm I'm still torn on the Altec's maybe by Monday a decision.. :D

    But awesome music freaks! :yes:
    Yeah, I do like the butterfly ones! Maybe, I should try the ones you ordered, if they are working so well for you!

    I generally have music going..even at work LOL.

    I think he did fall asleep. :D

    Oh, you have no discomfort with those earphones?

    Cin ;) :)

    Heck yeah we are :D

    I didn't order mine, bought mine in-store, no waiting or anything :)

    Haha do your co-workers get mad? :D

    Hmm at first I was iffy on these because when they say IN-ear they really mean it... After an hour using them that night I noticed how much better earphones sound when they're pushed in like these have to be and left them in all the next day and im completely used to and comfortable with them now :)

    I watched TV till 5:30 then dozed off
    believe it or not I'm not an owl yet ;)

    Go with the butterfly ones, I think they make a statement ;)

    PS - thanks for the rep

    Tru, my walkman ones were in-ear
    You get used to them real fast and don't even notice them, very comfy, most have soft rubber for the ear-piece which helps

    There are 2 important points though
    1-They provide clearer sound IMO
    2-They also block out a lot of surrounding sound :D

    For the record, it's now 12:55PM ;)
    Woke up at 10 :D

    Haha, its 6AM here right now, gonna nap a little, wake up at 10-11. Start my day :p

    Yeah I like these now, they've got the rubber tips (Three sizes). Pretty comfy :)
    You're very correct on both your points :D

    :eek: O_O wow I don't check this thread for 2 days and there's 3 pages!!!!!!

    I didn't bother to read through all the pages, but you guys (and cin) listen to good bands.

    Anyone like Linkin Park, System of a Down, or Skillet? Those are my FAVORITE.

    Favorite songs from each band above (ugh youtube's audio quality sucks... Then again, I'm used to FLAC and 320kbps MP3s. :p):

    Bought in store? That's great! So they didn't bother you having them in your ears after a bit..that's really cool! :D

    WB! :D Sounds like you will be a night owl soon!

    I'm thinking the butterfly ones, they seem cool..and have some good specs' on them ;) I'm sure I could get used to them rather quickly! :D

    Hey! :D That's nice that they have 3 tips to them. You were up early! ;)

    I'm going to order on Monday...and we shall see on the delivery!

    Yeah, those aren't bad bands...I don't really listen to skillet
    We prob's shouldn't be posting vid's in this section of the forum ;)

    How are you liking your earphones? What do you have?? I'm to lazy to go back to the beginning of this thread! :eek: LOL.

    I saw some nice Sennheisers, also! ;)


    Cin ;) :)

    Haha we're all just talkative :D
    I love Linkin Park as well. Skillet is probably the best Not-Well-Known band ever. I remember listening to their songs like Whispers In The Dark, The Last Night, Best Kept Secrect, Energy, etc for hours a day lol.

    Yep, bought them in the bestbuy story :) Yeahh I've no problem with them now :D

    Yeah they've got sizes to fit basically anyones ears :) Haha what happens when I get into CoD4 :p

    Goodluck!

    Check the songs I listed above as well. All great by them :D


    EDIT: Savior by skullet is awesome as well. Forgot that one :p

    Pretty much every song on the albums Comatose and Collide are awesome. I haven't listened to any of their older stuff, since it's pure christian rock.

    You know, it would be nice if there your posts contained at least 50% on topic material instead of one line out of every 20. This thread is just getting stupid. Considering the fact that one of you actually reported a post (due to thread being OT) which lead to 3 posts being deleted, and off you go taking this OT. Nice. Thread closed.
