Headphone or audio experiences in general tend to be rather subjective. Much of what I report here is based on my experiences in critically auditioning the equipment listed herein. You are more than welcome to disagree, and your input is encouraged. Feel free to ask about any other technical things pertaining to headphone audio. I will answer all of them. There are some I purposely left out, most of them being "consumer grade" headphones such as Sony, JBL and some others. While they may be adequate, much better sound can be had for much less than you will pay for those over-hyped brands. Are you finally ready to explore premium-sounding headphones? "Premium" doesn't necessarily mean expensive. Here I walk you through all the issues and considerations you will face in getting the best sound quality headphones for a price that might surprise you. i've been involved in Hi Fidelity audio since 1977 in one way or the other.

In my military career, I spent my first two and a half years years galavanting around Asia....all parts of it, from Korea to the Thailand/Vietnam border and even a short stint in Fukuoka Japan as a temporary Attache for the Commanding General of the 2nd Infantry Division, Henry E. Emerson; AKA "Gunfighter" .  Also in our entourage was the Executive Officer of the Second Brigade, Second Infantry Division. You might recognize the name - at that time, Lieutenant Colonel Colin Powell.

When this was first published, no one, not even the doctors or the hospitals knew that my illness was Covid 19. It was only after it was discovered I had the antibodies, did it become clear. I'm only here to do one thing. To tell you a story. A cautionary  tale if you will. An important one. There are things that happen to us, that we cannot fathom. Things that come from so far afield, it's impossible to predict or even understand it....even in the midst of it happening. I'm not here to solicit sympathy. I'm here to warn you just how fast your whole world can fall apart. And what makes it so, so bad..... You don't have a clue that it's happening to you. Go get something to drink and settle in. I think this is something everyone should be aware of. In doing so, you just might live through it. My kid sister was having a rough time. When her husband died months back, it threw her into deep depression, and with his income no longer part of her support syst...
