So we thought we’d have to cover these in stickers to get Ess to wear them, but she loved them immediately: they’re for loud situations like wedding receptions or Fourth of July fireworks.
Imogen Heap’s First Train Home is a completely different song when heard through headphones. Holy cow.
I would recommend a balanced, closed, circumaural headphone. If you have the means, I highly recommend the AKG K 271 MK II. I… don’t have the means.
In February of 2005, I mocked up an idea I had for attaching the iPod shuffle directly to my full size headphones. Today, when I got a second-generation iPod shuffle, I was able to realize this idea and correct a shortcoming in this newest iPod. Note that the shuffles currently ship with the previous generation iPod earbuds. You know, the ones with slightly inferior fit and sound quality to the newer ‘buds. Thanks, Apple. I had assumed the pictures depicting the old earbuds on the Apple website were used simply because the newer model was not available at time of photography/photoshopping (I’m not sure how those images were originally generated). In an effort to correct the earbud shortcoming, I realized I could combine headphones and a shuffle into a cords-free wundermusik contraption. In short, I could make my original idea a reality: a version 2.0, if you will. I’m still looking to get a shorter y-cable (1/8” stereo jack to 1/8” dual mono … anyone?), but for now this works pretty well. I’ll walk you through it.
