So who picked up the new NIN. I wanna hear your thoughts. Also new Pixies ep released
"Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals"

Love the new NiN. I was jamming the audiophile mix–after a Pepsi Challenge between that and the commercial mix--very loudly last night, probably pissed off the neighbors.
-
^best record he has written next to downward spiral IMO. It's so good

I got both the new Pixies and the new NIN yesterday.
Pixies is okay. I don't love it. I still think the best 'new' song they've put out is Bam Thwok, and that was ages ago.
New NIN is alright. I've only heard it once so far (well, I've heard the single a few times) and it hasn't grabbed me. I like the more electro sound as a change of pace, but found myself wishing for some really loud and heavy guitar.
One thing I really like about the NIN album is the sound of it itself - I grabbed the Apple Lossless version and still sounds wonderful in my Shures.
-
I've been looking forward to listening to the audiophile mix on my Sennies but was surprised how great it sounded on my old Paradigms and surrounds/sub.
What Shures do you have? I have the iPhone ones, I think 110m maybe, they're fantastic.
-
Hesitation Marks is a grower was not a fan 1st listen. Prob have listened 50+ times now and am addicted.

I've got the 215s. Had an old pair that lasted me quite a while so when they finally gave up the ghost I decided to stick with the same brand. I think they sound great. I like that they have replaceable wires - it's always the wires that have caused me trouble in the past.
-
Yeah; that's huge. Not sure my cables are replaceable, I think they are but not easily. What I do know is they are very robust. Sound great too, my favorite in-ears, though I haven't heard the upper range Shures
-
I tried the upper range Shures a few years ago. I found them too accurate - that is they didn't artificially bump up the low end, as opposed to cheaper, more commercially focused earphones.
-
Cool. I'll save the $400.
I use cans too, my closed ear ones are some ancient Sony MDR-V6 and I also have some Sennheiser HD 518 for my open ear cans.
-
I have a pair of Grado SR60's I love them.

-
Yeah, I use the same buds as Zwer. At the time of purchase, I tried the higher end ones which I actually liked less than the 2 series.

By far the coolest looking headphones are Grado IMO. Totally retro.
