I completely second this motion.

i approve this message and commend you on your bravery.

bringing sennheiser 280s on a city bus is wow.

Agreed. I've been sitting, quietly jamming to Deep Purple/Queen/David Bowie/Black Sabbath/ACDC/Led Zeppelin/The Beatles/Paul McCartney & Wings/Devendra Banhart/Eric Clapton/Whatever, and suddenly I hear rap/screamo/whatever blaring, look around for the offending moron with speakers, and find some oblivious git wearing headphones.

It happens too many times.

Also agreed.

I kinda wonder why they don't make headphones or music player settings that lock the decibels below the deafening level. :/ Then again, if you've turned it really high up then loud notes could sound off, but it shouldn't need to be that close to the limit anyhow....

I hope you didn't have both headphones on. Else I'll be most displeased.

Ermm.... Are you suggesting that people should go around with only one headphone on, leaving the other dangling?

No. I suggest tucking the other one away so that the noise doesn't irritate people.

Headphones suck, true story.

Like, seriously, speakers are so much better.

I'm pretty sure some suggested carrying a pair of scissors round s you can cut the headphone cable when people do this. No link to speakers=no sound

The only time I did that when trying to talk at the same time was two minutes before New Years. It didn't make any sense, but it was fun.

I agree with you, in case I didn't do a good job of implying that, although I have to wonder what kind of iPod they were listening to that could go so loud.

I have awful airline headphones that can only support music at a listenable level if it blares it out.

My apologies for not having enough money.

That's 20-30 dollars more than I spent on these headphones, and that I have to spend at the moment.

The wonderful thing is, I have a job.

And you know what?

It's expensive being a college student. REALLY expensive. So expensive you really can't understand it until you're in college.

1. I was unaware you were.

2. I'd say that's incorrect; if a member of your immediate family is in college, you know.

Not really. My sister is in her final year at a university.

I go to a cheap community college.

Still sooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive, and I really wasn't ready for it. I'm glad I have a job in this economy.

Community colleges charge? I thought they're funded by taxes like public schools.
