The only headphones I compared them to in the store were the KRKs, which were REALLY bad.

What's your price range?

O.o that narrows this conversation down a LOT, I purchased my Audio Technica's for 180 and those are the ones you didn't like.

maybe you shouldn't have made this thread if you're just gonna shutdown other user's opinions.

so far that's all i've read from you(which isn't always a bad thing gg - so don't bite me)
You might as well just choose based on your opinions and test out an assload of headphones.

This should be done regardless of what you think or what we say, John.

Go find a retirement home.

That's not even a joke.

[Jonlovesddr]

there's a retirement home about 4 miles away

[midnghtraver]

The reason I suggest that is because the majority of retirement homes (if you can find a riverpointe then all the better) have restaurants on the ground floor and most people don't realize that there are public jobs at retirement homes so they don't have a giant stack of apps and unless its "assisted living" it won't be 18+

Serve food for minimum, its what I did for a long while.

Average biweekly check for me was 200

This is at 35ish hours a week and Colorado's minimum (7.78)



Back on topic though, what the hell are those lol. They look like something out of the 90s

that's good money especially for just working with old people.
200 was my average at the busiest family owned restaurant in cc that I worked at and it was not worth it i tell you what
