My wife and I took a 2 week backwoods camp-and-canoe vacation just lately.
Unfortunately, our roving bionic security facility (an edgy Jindo bitch
named Sidney) was kenneled elsewhere. Thief or thieves broke in, removing
about $3,500 worth of bicycles, computer LCD displays and printer,
headphones, and a nice GPS. Yes, there's insurance.
There were a few jokes on the thieves. Among the headphones they took were a
well-abused pair of ATs that were held together with polyurethane glue, hot
melt glue, and solder.
Unfortunately, the thieves also took my prized HD-580s, unwashed ear pads
and all. So, they have a little bit of me to remember me by! ;-)
That leads to this question: What is *your* nomination for replacements for
my HD-580s?
HD 580s seem to have disappeared from the new equipment marketplace. :-(
Are HD 595's the answer?
My best wishes to you and your wife. If you can, turn the lemon into
some sweet lemonade.
I gotta admit, I am impressed with the AT ATH-M50. It's closer to the
mark in terms of accuracy than any headphone I have ever spent time with.
