I need a haircut!
Friday, January 26, 2007
Have you ever gotten a haircut by a man, named Luigi, faking a bad Italian accent? No? Well here's your chance. Download the mp3 below, put on headphones (very important), play and enjoy your visit to the barber.
The technique of recording such pieces is known as Binaural Recording. These recordings are optimised for headphone listening and simulate your two ears by using two microphones as listening devices; as opposed to one microphone gathering both left and right channel information.
Enough talk, here's the mp3.
I've done it again...

Mix one part boredom, one part technophile, one part wannabe audiophile, a dash of graduation gift money and this is what you get:
A very happy Ali sporting a pair of Sennheiser HD-595s. Yes, I gave in to one of the desires listed in my year review. Got the headphones off a member (who turned out to be desi) of a headphone forum that I frequent *a lot* now. It was a steal at 130 bucks considering it retails at $200 in online stores. I just couldn't pass that up.
Moreover, all dynamic headphones go through a phase called "burn in" when played for the first time. After this period their drivers settle properly and play the sound the engineer designed them for. Now since I got them used they had already been burnt in (over 100 hours). So win-win for me. :D
Edit:
Thought I should also review my headphones a little bit. I started my headphone journey from $15 headphones/ear clips by the name of Koss KSC75. Now these were only cheap by the price and not in quality. Coming from laptop speakers, I was finally happy to hear the bass and treble in the songs, as opposed just the midrange. Lived with these babies for a good 5-6 months before "upgraditis" attacked.
Next stop, AKG K81DJ. True to their name, these were DJ style closed headphones with a higher dosage of bass. But bass also has quality, it's not supposed to be like one large subwoofer blowing air in your ear. Before I heard the newer 595s I thought the bass on the K81's was the bees knees. Thoroughly enjoyed these cans (I am a basshead) before the constant exposure to the forum over at head-fi.org introduced me to the absolute magic known as HD-595. Upgraditis attack number two.
Sennheiser HD-595. I have finally found out what balanced sound means. No "woof woof" bass, but tight low beats and smooth midtones with just the right amount of sparkle in the treble. Im hearing all my songs again just to hear the details I missed with my earlier cans. And I cant believe the small nuances in the sound which got shadowed by bass mostly with the AKG cans.
I think I'm going to stop visiting that forum now. Even though 595's aren't in any way the end all be all set of headphones; it's just that from here on headphones go into $500-$15000 range for a minute improvement in quality (the law of diminishing returns). Yea, lets just keep it at that. ;)
