Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Asura.Yomisha said: » Fenrir.Weakness said: » Artemicion said: » Just looked at the 598s. They're as glorious as I'd expect, as Sennheiser makes very HQ cans, but my #1 concern and gripe with them is they make ***cords. Often times way too short, way too thin and flimsy and prone to kinks and threading. How is the cord on the 598s in particular? It's a bump up in quality when you get to their audiophile headphones. Cord is 3M (about 9 feet), decent quality, but only ends with a 1/4 jack (does come with a 1/8 adapter). Low impedance so it works with or without an amp, but definitely sounds better with one. I had them for a little while, but ended up getting HD650's and giving my wife the 598's. Thinking I may get a pair of HifiMan HE-560s after school. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like there's a jack on the headphone drivers themselves, would that mean the cord is removable? If so that would be so awesome. I would love to provide my own proprietary mini jack cord.

And there would be a swedish dish most people enjoyed like there is a canadian dish or a british dish like beans and toast. There's no typical "breakfast special" here, people just eat what they feel like Why would that be miserable? You're dumb lol Anna Ruthven said: » Bismarck.Zenim said: » Going to the hospital for dehydration is as close as natural selection as you can get for humankind, eeeep. Unless he was sick or something and stomach couldn't keep down water etc Now, I've had anxiety attacks, often I might add, since I was very young, about 4. When he has an anxiety attack, he starts this pity party *** "No, you don't understand." "Yes, yes I do." "No, these are worse than yours, you don't understand!" I've had one so bad that I was afraid it would send me into cardiac arrest if I didn't find a way to bring myself out of it, I'm just used to it and I don't cry about it. >.> I had one once when I was younger but as an adult I've only come close to having one a small number of times, and it's all been after being around somebody who has them constantly. I willed myself out of it before it became an issue because I knew what was going on. I realize that most people don't have the willpower in those situations that I do though. But yeah, some people love playing the special little victim card, everyone's got problems, yours may be your own special little snowflake, but in a pile it still looks the same.

You're dumb lol I think both of you may have your knickers in a twist over possibly just a misunderstanding. We don't have a "typical" breakfast here either, but most people usually associate eggs+toast+bacon/sausage+hashbrowns with a good 'ol fashioned breakfast. I've eaten more cereal than I should admit, and oatmeal, and even porridge a time or two. But my favorite is either pancakes or what we call french toast.

Pancakes aren't something you eat for breakfast either Bismarck.Dracondria said: » It's just different here Pancakes aren't something you eat for breakfast either Quote: Nordic pancakes are similar to the French-style crêpes. In some Nordic countries, they are served with jam or fruit, especially lingonberries (or the butter from that fruit) as a dessert with a variety of savory fillings. Traditional Swedish variations can be exotic. Beside the usual thin pancakes, called pannkakor, which resembles the French crêpes and, often served with whipped cream and jam, are traditionally eaten for lunch on Thursdays with pea soup, the Swedish cuisine has plättar -- very small pancakes, which resemble tiny English pancakes, and are usually fried in a special pan called a "plättlagg", a sort of normal size frying pan with indentations to allow for several (normally seven) to be made at once. Others resemble German pancakes but include fried pork in the batter (fläskpannkaka); these are baked in the oven. Potato pancakes called raggmunk contain shredded raw potato, and may contain other vegetables (sometimes the pancake batter is omitted, producing rÃ¥rakor). Raggmunk and rÃ¥rakor are traditionally eaten with pork rinds and lingonberry jam. A special Swedish pancake is saffron pancake from Gotland, made with saffron and rice, baked in the oven. It is common to add lemon juice to the sugar for extra taste. The pancakes are often served after a soup. Another special "Swedish pancake" is the äggakaka (eggcake), also called skÃ¥nsk äggakaka (Scanian eggcake), it is almost like an ordinary Swedish pancake but it is a lot thicker and also a lot more difficult to make due to the risk of burning it. It is made in a frying pan and is about 1½ to 2 inches thick and is served with lingonberries and bacon. The Norwegian variety is commonly eaten for dinner, traditionally with bacon, jam (typically bilberry) or sugar. Never heard of anyone eating them with bacon in Sweden at least. We eat them with sugar, jam or maybe lemon+sugar/just lemon if it's for dinner. Some people prefer them cold with ice cream or cream+strawberries though, I don't. Raspberry jam or sugar for me. Whoops. Yeah, non-proprietary of course.
Also thanks for the pic. Looks like it plugs into the cans via 1/4, so I'll need an adapter, which is no big deal. Makes me glad I can use my own cords! Definitely going for a thicker and coiled one. More like this:

Afking and find someone next to me, creepy
All our traditional Swedish food is bland and disgusting and a lot of it is fish so people tend to make/order food from other countries instead
Traditional food is for Midsummer, Easter and Christmas and even then a lot of people don't have all of it and will include some not-so-traditional food. We used to have Chinese spare ribs Artemicion said: » 6.3mm is the input for the 598s, so that would be 1/4th. It comes with an adapter for you, which is nice.

While the cream and wood accent is fashionably awesome, I still prefer black. But I'm still painfully indecisive on what to get for my friend. Perhaps something cheaper so that 970 is feasible by Christmas time. Getting a 700 series would be a waste considering the gap in performance and price. Jetackuu said: » Fenrir.Weakness said: » It is removable indeed, but it isn't a standard jack size. Looks to be an adapter available: The connection termination is a standard 1/4 (and has a 1/8 adapter), Edit: Nevermind, apparently it really is just a standard 1/8 plug, just has an awkward recess and lock. I still play my audio through an old boombox that has a usb port, and use cheap headphones for my mp3 player, my car speakers are probably my best and they were cheap too.
For knowing what I do about audio, I'm a cheap *** who apparently doesn't care enough. I guess I technically have a surround sound unit, but it's been in the box most of the time I've had it due to not having room to keep it hooked up. still cant sleep ._.

Not everyone cares, but people who claim there isn't a difference between cheap and expensive headphones need to be slapped. I know not everyone wants to pay $500+ for a decent pair of cans, but honestly to say that the earbuds that came with your ipod or your bose headphones sound just as good as something like HD650's or LCD 2's makes me want to murder people if they are that deaf. Some audiophiles take it to the extreme, but those who blatently say it is a waste of money annoy the *** out of me. I like music, I spend 95% of my computer time with headphones on, I'm a grown *** man and I will spend money on things I enjoy. Not my fault our interests don't align, come back and talk to me after you have wasted $200 at the bar trying to pick up women or $500 for an exhaust system on your car that does absolutely nothing but make it obnoxiously loud. For people who can't hear those frequencies anymore, to them there probably isn't a difference.
I definitely wouldn't spent $500 on headphones though. Maybe $120 max. Artemicion said: » The M40's are quite nice as well. But I do want to note all 5xx series+ headphones are open style, so you can hear the outside world and there is sound bleed through the open grill design. They are not headphone you could wear to block out the world at work or commuting, and people will assume you have it obnoxiously loud from the sound bleed out. Ugh, downloaded iOS 8.0.2 for my iPhone 4s tonight. Big mistake. Doesn't run smooth anymore. Anyone know if you can disable that recent call thing when you switch apps? Haven't found the setting for it.
Time to saddle up the horse, again. I liked her, but I need to stay focused.
