Guest sparrieheid Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Looking for advice on which headphones to buy as my neighbours have expressed their displeasure at my new stereo. Definately looking to buy cordless ones but my only experience with them was many years ago when you had to have direct line-of-sight to the base unit and they sometimes produced a background hiss that ruined the sound quality. However, I want to be able to strut my funky ass around my flat listening to perfect sound quality choons. I don't mind paying that bit extra, I really want the quality. Your thoughts please.

Guest sparrieheid Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Baseball bat to neighbours knees. Should stop them complaining! I like your plan, but I'd substitute the baseball bat for beating him to death with one of his cowboy boots, the short-erse prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death by boots for this chap should be given some serious thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death by boots for this chap should be given some serious thought! To be fair to him the soundproofing in these flats is atrocious and if he can hear it then the entire stair can probably hear it and I don't want to force my noise on everyone so I don't actually mind going down the headphones route for my own listening. It's just his arrogant and condecending attitude when he knocks on my door that grates. However, when I choose to have a party the entire stair will be informed beforehand and he can go poke himself if he complains. The irony is that this 'hipster dude' actually works in the music 'biz' as an A&R guy so he should appreciate being introduced to my fine music collection, although he recently got paid off after his company was bought over and he's currently struggling to set up his own company. Add the fact that he has a neurotic wife who doesn't work and rarely leaves the flat and I should probably have some sympathy for him. Nah, stuff him, he's an arrogant bam and I hope he's suffering. Anymore of his snash and I'll jobby through his letterbox as a final warning. It's the only language these people understand understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they cordless headphones? Seems awfy cheap but I'll check it out. The neighbour is a **** who looks down on me because I rent my flat whereas he owns his. What he doesn't know is that I got divorced last year and had to sell the flat I'd had in Trinity for 15 years so I cleared all my debts and am still sitting on many many thousands of squids, I just chose not to buy somewhere else due to the impending credit crunch but I could easily buy a flat in his stair if I chose, but I prefer to enjoy the rich batchelor lifestyle instead. If he ignores my final warning of jobbying through his letterbox, I will resort to grabbing him by his quiff and killing him to teh death with his absurd footwear. Short erse.

You sound like the type of considerate neighbour that is far too infrequent these days. (Right up to the bit where you jobby through his letter-box, that is!) Good on you. And once you've used good earphones, you won't want to go back. I got Bose Triport in-ear for the iPod and the music's so much better than either the old earphones (both basic ones and Sennheisers (though not really dear ones)) or even the Hi-fi. I don't own headphones for home but my brother-in-law has Bose noise-cancelling ones that probably cost him a pretty penny but really are quite brilliant.
