SD Cards & Headphones

[Link]

In an effort to get my shop setup with some inventory, please complete this poll. I want to have an idea of what to stock specifically. Thanks for completing in advance, I will be adding more items shortly, I just want to get a feel for things.


Edited for missed options and preferences

I completed the poll, but I just wanted to say that I don't use earbuds, so consider my vote in that category to relate to headphones in general.

Under $50


$100 +


There is missing something in between...

Currently have several 4GB cards in both Class 2 and 4. Will probably look to buy a 16GB class 6 soon.


As for headphones, I am currently using Sennheiser HD215s (closed hedphones), and before that Sennheiser CX-300IIs (earbuds). The most important things for me are a closed design (I do much of my listening on public transport, etc.) and a decent soundstage. Also, like Prometheus, my vote in the price category was for headphones in general.

I buy my earbuds at the dollar store. They're surprisingly the most comfortable headphones of any kind I've ever worn. Does that make me a bad person?

 

[Nintendo]

No, it just makes you one smart person.

No but you could be damaging your hearing with the naff sound they produce. Go treat yourself to a pair of Koss Porta Pros. Your ears will love you forever.

2x 32gb class 10 centons, 4x 32gb sandisk ultras, one $90 closed sennheiser headphone, one $250 sennheiser open headphones, and yes it does stan.

Actually, in a way I wish I could go back to they days when I could just buy $2 earphones and be pleased with the output, but then once you start listening to the good stuff you can't go back. I find that cheapies now irritate me so much that I can't lose myself in the music anymore - I used to do a lot of sound editing with my friends Grados and because of that even Sennheisers now seem lo-fi.


My advice Stan: Keep buying your earphones at the dollar store!

I remember a story my cousin told me from when he was in a band. When they mixed their music, they'd find the crappiest speakers they could that still worked well to play it on, and worked it until it sounded pretty good on those speakers, because if it sounds good on a pair of crappy speakers, it'll sound awesome on a pair of good speakers; it doesn't necessarily work the other way (if you make it sound awesome on good speakers, it can still end up crappy on crappy speakers).

That makes a lot of sense, I wish we had thought of that. My ears now have expensive taste.

Thanks for the results on this everyone. It's helping me a lot as I consider stocking this shop. Profit is not my intention, I just want the scene to thrive.

Link, don't forget PSP chargers!

Link, don't forget PSP chargers!

I haven't, I am just trying to find something that is both USB and 110 outlet compatible like I found at Target a few months back. Now I can't find them anywhere.


Thanks for the recommendation.

 

[Blue Protoman]

No problem.

[#10355] You must cast your vote in each question of the poll. So I had to lie on the headphones part.


Also 1gb SD card isn't listed. I am using one of those.

Not looking to stock anything that small in my store, I am already having wife problems.


Do you only use speakers or something? External speakers?
