<p>Hey guys! What sort of music do you enjoy listening to during exam time/cranking through pile of homework? List some of your favorite songs below! I generally like music that pump me up or has a real meaning behind it. Sorry Dubstep/Techno lovers!</p>
<p>Modest Mouse - Float On
Audio Adrenaline - Underdog
The Hives - Tick Tick Boom
Kid Cudi - Erase Me
Macklemore - Same Love
Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults</p>
<p>What does this have to do with being an audiophile? I assumed this would be a conversation about headphones.</p>
<p>I guess audiophile really just means “sound-lover” if you think about it.</p>
<p>My deepest apologies for my failure to be so literal. On the other hand, you completely failed to answer my question. Better luck next time!</p>

I was responding to the person who asked what the question had to do with being an audiophile…</p>
<p>Oh same here. I meant that message to blahblah. Halcyonheather I think we got on the wrong foot since our previous thread with rackcity. I have no hatred against you.</p>
<p>I think I’m the only audiophile here, I just bought myself some STAX SR-009 headphones. They’re pretty good, I recommend them.</p>
<p>If it’s for listening while I do homework, it can’t have lyrics or I get distracted. Movie soundtracks are the best, they make you feel as though you’re in the film. This is my favourite: [Prince</a> Caspian Soundtrack ~ Prince Caspian Flees - YouTube](<a href=“Prince Caspian Soundtrack ~ Prince Caspian Flees - YouTube”>Prince Caspian Soundtrack ~ Prince Caspian Flees - YouTube)</p>

That’s a kid’s toy, man. Real audiophiles own a Sennheiser Orpheus.</p>
<p>What amp and DAC do you use to power it?</p>
<p>It changes. Currently,</p>

<p>@CSI: I would like to point out that you’re listening to music on youtube and therefore cannot be an audiophile.</p>
<p>EDIT: Unless you’re using youtube to show an example of the song, of course. XD</p>
<p>The thread is asking for music I listen to, not if I spend $200 on headphones.</p>
<p>I listen to music through plastic earbuds from Family Dollar.
I don’t think I like music in general as much as most people. I’ve never been to a concert.
I think most of my music is pop or maybe alternative rock…I don’t know anything about genres. My favorite band is The Shins and I like listening to piano instrumentals of popular songs.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback… I think? Haha so far I only received two legitimate answers. Anyway, since most of us are on the topic of headphones: Bose QC15 or Get Outa HERE. You Beats wannabe’s can go cry :D</p>
<p>Bose, beats, and skullcandy are the worst headphones you can buy actually. None of them are audiophile, they’re overpriced toys that are only popular because of marketing.</p>
<p>Bose makes the best active noise cancelling headphones I’ve heard. But within ~$200 of the price, you could get a great pair of in-ears that sound better and provide comparable isolation just by sealing the ear canal. It just means that active noise cancellation as a technology isn’t competitive, not that Bose produces inferior products.</p>
<p>I agree about Beats though; haven’t tried Skullcandy.</p>
<p>To answer the OP:</p>
<p>Nirvana - Nevermind. They say people are smarter when listening to Mozart, but this album helps me write code and debug like nothing else.
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde. Especially Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again.
Chopin’s nocturnes. Shuffling through them is perfect for late deep thought late at night. Especially when stargazing.

<p>Bose isn’t mainstream to whoever commented negatively about Bose. If you tried the Bose noise-cancelling feature, you’ll be blown away. Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys :D</p>
<p>Bose is top of the line, just because people love Bose doesn’t mean it’s bad.</p>
<p>@Halogen - That’s awesome that you program. I’m also a programmer. Add me?</p>
