Why I'm wearing headphones aka my speakers suck
on: March 05, 2005, 10:55:46 pm
I hate the speakers that are built in to my laptop. They absolutely blow. Because of it, I'm being forced to wear headphones right now while listening to music because the speakers have absolutely no bass whatsoever. All I want to do is revel in my music with good bass and not have to be confined by headphones that aren't comfortable. Is that too much to ask?

Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Actually I'm using the Creative SBS232(I think) and I have been well pleased.  A zx3500 it aint, but in a small enviroment like it's in, it suits.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Personnally, I'm using hifi wired headphones for this kind of situation : they're made to give a very good sound while not being tiring and/or irritating to wear. Costs a bit much, though. Mine has cost me 80€ when I bought it.
