Sold my speakers last week (nothing I've heard can compare to these Grado SR80 headphones) so I took some updated pics of the setup.

There's nothing "special" about them, they're just really good quality headphones. Infact they're so good, I'm tempted to buy even better ones from Grado.

I wasn't until I got a pair of SR-80s.  Music just isn't the same :happy:

I suppose I was, but not on the scale that I am now thanks to these headphones.

One thing though; they sound so much better with an amp. My iMac has an amplified headphone socket, and it sounds much better than anything else I've hooked them up to.

Once I've got my iPod shuffle, I'm going to be buying a dedicated headphone amp and power supply for them:

Wow, that is really expensive. I really need an amp for my sennheiser hd-580s but that costs a bit too much for me right now, heh. I was hoping it would only be 150, not 300 :(. Even unamped my headphones sound so much better for music than my klipsch 2.1s with monster cables. I tried them on my receiver when I got them over 2 years ago, and they sound way better on that then on the klipschs... Maybe I will invest in some hd-680s (if they haven't been discontinued since I last shopped for headphones) and an amp instead of klipsch 5.1 ultras in the future. BTW your imac looks awesome. I can't really see it from the picture, but I am assuming you have a nice desk too :ninja: (yeah I know that considering that its not really in the oic that is a crazy question, but whatever, I am getting desperate for a new desk). Mind sharing what it is and where you got it? I am in the market for a new desk and everytime I pm someone the desk they have has been discontinued or is only available outside the usa, lol.

Nice iBook roadwarrior

Thanks. I love this thing. I bring it just about everywhere with me. When I'm at work, I can use it to run Remote Desktop to the Dell so I can do my newsgroup downloads (which are saved on my wife's Blue & White). Too bad the network at school has the required ports blocked, so I can't control the Dell from there.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      By kiddingguy · Posted

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
