Ok so this morning my grandson came by and I was showing him what a dac is , an amp and how music from a digital source gets converted from bits to analog sound waves....he seemed interested, but a freshman in high school and first time being exposed to "higher" audio...
But the interesting thing was I let him listen to three headphones and asked him which one he thought was the best...
First was the $30 Koss KPH 30i's, second was Senn HD600's, and last was Beyer T1's.
At the end he picked the Koss KPH 30i's over the higher cost hp's....
So a fifteen year old picks out the least expensive cans...and when I asked him how much he thought the three headphones each cost, he was shocked at the cost .
It was interesting to see the look on his face as he rotated thru and his smile was the biggest with those $30 wonders!!
Ah, life is good...
