(Let's do something fun.) If you were a headphone (based on your personality) what headphone would you be?

Submitted by AnickYT t3_zsn4xr in headphones

Let's say you were a popular kid at school. You are Sony wh-1000xm4 or the ATH M50.

You were a popular kid who did something bad that made you infamous. You are Beats Solo.

You are a solid student who got good grades but wasn't really a perfect human. You are a solid budget headphones like SHP 9500 or Koss.

Maybe you are ok with most thing, even bad at others but you have a niche skill set. People either love you or hate you. No in the middle. Congratulations, you are a Grados.

You get the question.

I'm a Sundara. People generally like me but I'm prone to breaking apart after light use.

oh god...

I've had a rather dark childhood but with really rich schools so the comparisons are drastic.

I went to school with super rich kids in long island. Like imagine a parking lot of convertibles. Some of the kids were clearly kids of CEOs and whatever. Like imagine wearing Rolex in high school. At this time I didn't have time to sleep properly as I've had to rush to work after school and would get home around 12 midnight. Used my last period (calculus) to sleep. And I snored like aMF, so I guess the whole class felt the brunt of my shit.

I think I'm the darkest thing that ever existed, but wasn't too quiet about it, so maybe something like a DT1990 but cheaper so DT990. Very self aware and reflective and had nuanced ideas about dire situations. Friends would say I'm the best at dealing with emergencies. So I like to think my ideas had somewhat of clarity in them that they're not muddy like the M50X.

-I have a very deep voice that surprised the unsuspecting, and when used forcefully could fill the room with a monstrous shout that would frighten any monster. Although tall I was scrawny, so I guess I wish I had muscles. --I think of it as lacking bass

-just like the headphone, might have some redeeming factors, but sibilant to just about everyone mostly because I had too much problems back home so I couldn't care for much.

haha

Hd560s. A constant in quality, inoffensive to most, isn't bad but isn't the best at anything, a few loyal people still defend it and give it its value, but most people upgrade when they have the chance

I guess im a either love or hate person, that talks to much, so you could say I am fatiguing to listen to. So a Grado SR60 is probably pretty accurate.

AnickYT OP t1_j18s0y5 wrote

As an OP I guess I'll post mine too. Basically I was a Grados SR60 at birth and stayed a Grados to this day. I'm just now a Grados SR60X. Little toned down and more people friendly and I'm trying to be but at the end of the day, not well like by many but the people who likes me, really appreciate me. Little amount of friends kind of guy but really close to his friend kind of guy.

Also I'm well rounded-ish but I have my specialties that may or may not people like which is the niche part of the Grados.

To me, if people either love you or hate you with nothing in the middle, then you're probably Bose. While some may not prefer the Grado sound and instead prefer something more neutral or analytical, I've never heard anyone say...here or in an online article...that they absolutely HATE Grado headphones.

To me, Grados fall into the "Jack of all trades, master of none" category, the kid who knows a little bit about a lot of different things and gets along with everyone, the kid who listens to 70s classic rock because he has an "old soul". I am a Grado SR80.

AnickYT OP t1_j18upwo wrote

I feel like Bose headphones is in the category of popular kid that people generally see them as smart but isn't exactly in a valedictorian or anything like that but just generally really solid students that's well light but isn't the best of the best. Normal people love Bose audiophiles hate them.

Grados at least my experience has been more longer than line of I like this or I'm not a fan so I don't like it because it's too shouty it's a jack of all trade yes and there is a few neutral like anything else in life but I say it's a more v-shaped demographic as in more people either don't like to headphones or like the headphones.

Sennheiser HD800S. Open to hearing others out, usually a dark person with occasional bursts of positive emotion. However they tend to ruin the mood more than lighten it. Much due to the fact I’m talkative and have been termed extroverted which represents that wow factor with soundstage - people deeply tuned in to it, then the treble peak stuffs their ears.

I suppose it’s strange to say 800S, but I really am that kind of talkative and people try even harder to comprehend me when I deal with my plethora of grammatical issues as I speed up overtime.

God this post sounds like me irl
