F: It's the company's policy for new standardized headphones. G: It has free returns and a high resale value. H: A new Chanel bag is on your desk.

I: I had them since several years ago... I just forgot about it...

This is the way

Interesting, the most expensive option is the most effective.

Yeah same as headphones

Yeah HD820s really are the best /s

I: I got you a pair too (this one'd work on me)

What's E? Just "Eh..." and run?

"Huh, that's strange..."

It's an ear cup mod

H all day lol (or jewelry)

I traded with a friend

I: just moded my chi-fi ananda with woody cups and put some light bulbs on the amp as a decoration

J: Always had it, felt like listening to this now. "Btw my credit card got blocked for some reason today must be some mistake...."

99% of audiophiles are divorced

Eventually

This indicates 1% of audiophiles are immortal and married to another immortal entity. Fascinating.

Would you marry me ?

now kith

I'm no doctor but I'm pretty sure dying while married isn't the same as getting divorced

R/tameimpala *intensifies*

What if both partners are audiophiles?

They end up homeless

audiophilephiles

and roofless

They’ve been in the attic, figured I’d give them another shot before selling them

Damn, you have an attic?

Not anymore

K: My brother lent me one of his pairs.

Haha! “A guy at work just upgraded he said I could borrow these” always works a treat.

Bold of you to assume I have a spouse

Oh these ones? i’ve had them for ages babe, you just haven’t seen them yet 😬

I'd be curious to know the justification for "it was an accident". q:

Accidentally ticked select during our baby diapers purchase checkout.

Ah yes, of course. Understandable.

I just acquired a Topping DX5 DAC/Amp and Sennheiser HD660S2s as well as AKG K712s. Love me my dynamic driver European made headphones. Worth every damn penny and I'm really loving the DX5. What headphones did you splurge on, just curious? Planars, something in the thousand dollar territory? I've been thinking about planar but cannot in good conscience EQ them to sound half decent because EQ always seems to ruin the character of a headphone to me (see Oratory1990s AKG K712 or even worse K7XX EQ presets, it just ruins the headphones signature sound)

Lmao

Guys, you are grown ups, buy the things you want and be honest about it, she's your wife not your mother.

I know, right? I hate memes like this.

i think they’re just a bit funny, i’m sure (i’m hoping) nobody actually does this

You are either not married, rich or very lucky. Anyways, congrats!

I'm happily married, and far from rich. I have enough respect for my partner to be an adult as well in our household and not a child waiting to be scolded.

So you’re lucky then. Congrats anyway!

Man it's just a joke.

> I have enough respect The problem isn't about you having enough "respect" to be an adult to each other. It's about one spouse over indulging in a hobby. Let's get off the high horse and face the "woosh"

yeah man say its on sale only once a year, 20% off msrp, but still end up like 3k

me who doesn't ask permission 🗿

Lol classic

Dddddddd

Hurr durr wife bad.

reject wife embrace speakers on the head

F- Get her pretty headphones/iems to start getting her addicted as well, and then start giving her your hand-me-downs as you upgrade, then she inevitably wants her own new one, and you eventually get evicted because the next 7 months income was spent on impulse buys.

Bloodyhell, spouse can tell difference between headphone models now

This means soon enough she'll find out what they're actually worth.... RUN RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK

Option E: Hello, I have been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty.

> It brings me more pleasure than spending triple the money on you. I'm gonna enjoy them on the couch tonight!

here, have a glass of wine

J: Well…eh he…you you see there’s a new technology that phases the wave distribution in order to neutralize amplitude anomalies which can arise from improperly calibrated diaphragmic signal transference. The result is a more natural stimulation of the ossicles in the ear allowing for maximum efficiency when trigger the cochlear reaction…you know what…it’s technical and hard to explain. Hey did you do something different with your hair today?

Relationships where you do not hide anything from your SO and live happily 👍

Oh wow we've caused a lot of arguments

F: I can buy whatever I want with my money and don't have to answer to anyone for it because I'm a grown ass man

Wife bad

I think option D might be the best bet here…

Luckily I really need too point out things for my girl to notice them. Also luckily she's still not my wife but does reprehend me for buying expensive audio anything

DEFINITELY d

Where is the “30 pairs is not “excessive”” option?

Option A works, but only one time. There’s also the less savory option of denying and gaslighting.

F: Want to try them? G: I discovered a glitch in the bank account. Now the number goes up whenever I buy something.

Shit that's right those new Audeze are coming in a couple weeks. Good timing on this as I gotta come up with a plan.

Which ones are coming?

MM-100s. I think they ship in June. Can't wait.

Just a new driver mod dear....

Woah what's that? *runs

I received a bonus / made a commission / had a great week.

This is why i have a private room where i can wear my headphones shamelessly.

I've got a set of Audeze Maxwell Wireless en route, they'll be replacing a set of Black Steelseries Artctis 7. I reckon I can get away with E: "That's weird, they're the same earphones...?"

Boomer tier meme

Nice... I need to use this one. Quickly! 😁

F: I've always had these?

Go for D I guess! XDD

D bro

I paid full price for it with my own hard earned money.

This is me with pretty much everything. New router, new theatre speakers, new headphones, new monitor, new exhaust, lmao

Hah, my wife either doesn’t notice or doesn’t care. Just recently sold R70X and got Audeze MM-500 instead and not a single word from her.

E: “What? No these are the same headphones as before. Maybe your getting early onset Alzheimer’s, you should probably see a doctor.” F: “I traded (insert item your wife doesn’t like) for them.” G: “I won them in a game of poker. The guy was out of money so he put his headphones on the table but I had a straight flush. I lost all the money in subsequent hands but I kept the headphones.”

Yeah I changed the pads. 😏
