Thats the thing they dont see themselves as evil. Id be willing to bet they see themselves as the victims of public opinion despite the fact that they have societal backing. What struck me during the ferguson protests was how the cops treated the population. Calling them animals, shacking them down for funding. Up to a 1000 dollars in unpaid fines/jailining by making sure they cant pay off the fines, as well as using tear gas and automatic weapons to intimidate. It was more like an occupation than anything else. The majority of the PD didnt even live in the area they patroled. Segregation is still alive in america and if the polices only interaction with black people is a negative one it only confirms their inherent biases. (See the flood of racist actions and emails in the ferguson report)Eri wrote:

What's your budget?
What's your intended use of the headphones? Gaming primarily? Or an all purpose gaming, music and movies headphone?
How big is your ears/head?
Another good question to ask is if you're going to want to use it for outdoor use as well? Since you do listen to music in the gym you might be best off using earbuds for excercise, or maybe IEM and have seperate headphones for home use. Is soundstage the biggest factor? Or do you have a specific sound signature that you like?Jec wrote:Goldie wrote:Jec wrote:nice, I'm currently trying to find decent headphones to replace my electras .

I'm willing to spend around a hundred... but not right now. The dollar's gotten expensive so I should probably wait until it cheapens again.
I intend to use them for music... I work 8 hours a day constantly listening to music... I go to the gym and listen to music, and on the weekends when I'm studying I listen to music....
Ah, I personally have two different cans one, for outside use and one for home use. I would recommend looking into a pair of cans I just recent got, Takstar Hi2050's it ships from china, but the sound is a warm signature, as opposed to something like the 598s which is kind of going for something flat, I guess its more of a fun headphone in that sense. Honestly I think it holds its own against cans in the 200 dollar range.Jec wrote:Well, I do use them when I'm on my way to work... but that's about all the outdoor use I give them. As for gym use, yeah, earbuds would be more appropriate, I'm currently using the crappy ones that came with my cellphone, but I can survive with those at the gym. I'm looking for over ear headphones. Probably a bit warm with the sound signature, although I do enjoy hearing detailed highs, a lot of the music I'm listening to recently depends on those small details and discrete changes.
Yeah thats a good idea. I don't know how the exchange rate work on a site based on china but it would probably convert from your actual credit card and come up for expensive. You're better off holding off for awhile and looking into other cans that you might be interested in the mean while. I think if soundstage is also really important you might want to check out the 668bs, they're a little too expensive right now but they might be at a good price when you can buy, they're known to be treblecannons but a really wide soundstage.Jec wrote:I'll check those out Sai, thanks.
I will however have to wait a while before ordering anything. Dollar's up almost 60% from a couple of months ago. Should have taken advantage back then...
damn son for the first time hbo boxing has been outbilled. From what I saw it was based in china but shiming isnt even the main event. Im not about to find out either because the alternate broadcast has a muuuuuuch better lineup of fights. Great fighters all around...this thurman vs guerrero is amazing from the first!!!Jet wrote:Tonights main event looks to be starring chinas rising star Zou shiming. A fine bout of boxing.

Jet wrote:2 things.
1. If you call yourself a boxing fan you NEED to watch thurman vs guerrero. I dont care if the fight was spoiled for you. If you dont watch it you need to eat a dick and start reading one piece. No...TWO dicks. And TWO pieces. Hm....I guess having to read one piece is essentially saying the former. I apologize for the redundancy there.
2. Thurman was a skillful and aggressive fighter. Dying breed and right from the first he was on point. That set the tempo for the rest of the battle. It was glorious. Guerrero was almost finished in the latte4 hakf he just kept taking punishing shots and giving some back, but the real respect for him is the fact that he took them and still stood to fight the way he did in the last 3 rounds. Really lives up to his name, warrior.
hands down one of the best matches ive seen in years. Everyone stood up and clapped afterward. Just respect all around.

I mean the only alternative for me when jogging would be earbuds. Inside the ear doesnt feel so good when exercising imoGol D.[Roger] wrote:Jet wrote:Never tried over ear but those seem lik the best 4 workouts
Over the ear aren't good for workouts since the drivers are right under the padding. Between the padding soaking up your sweat and the sound drivers, the things that produce sound, being right under the padding it's really easy for your sweat to permanently damage the sound drivers. Which ruins the headphone itself.
It sounds amazing working out with over ear headphones, but you run a really really high risk of permanently damaging them by doing that.
You just gonna take that chak?Eri wrote:merry womans day
