My HD-600s had a connection problem a good while after the warrantee ran out. Sennheiser repaired them for free. A minor hack -- heat shrink tubing around the earpiece connectors so they hold in place better.:) (Invisible unless you pull the connector out.)
I'll second that. The school board my dad works for has this running on all their machines nightly.
Their main issue is that when new software is purchased, it has to be installed by some admin at the education center... so if they're overworked, you can end up waiting for ages before you can use the software.
>RIM Park has nothing to do to RIM.
Yes, it most certainly does. RIM offered to donate money to the city in exchange for the city building a park in their name. Not all that complex, really.
That's not what happened. The park had already long been under construction. The city ran a sponsorship drive and made renaming the park after the largest sponsor part of the incentive. RIM *employees* donated money, and they happened to donate more than any of the other companies that gave.
It's not RIM's fault -- it's the city's fault for offering to name the park after the largest single sponsor.
The park was the city's initiative -- so RIM had nothing to do with the taxpayers getting screwed over.
I know people hiring might think skills can go stale. But certain skills and traits do not (the most important ones, IMO), and I'd much rather hire a good-to-great programmer that's taken a year off to go travelling than an average-to-good programmer who's coming fresh out of another job.
I really hope I get an interviewer who thinks like that the next time I have to go job hunting... But that's probably a far-fetched fantasy.
If the proper forum were available where appreciative listeners could pool money to send DIRECTLY to the artists that they enjoy listening to, I think many people would line up give their fair share.
You also have to pay the people who fronted the money to pay for the production of the album. Hmm... that's often the record companies, isn't it? Yes, they do end up charging more than they really need to, and so do the record stores. HMV will sell a CD for $25CDN that I could pick up at an independent store for $18CDN.
The best method I saw for paying the artists directly was a band I listen to allowing people to pre-order their next CD (which they hadn't even started writing/recording) for double-price ($30 US), with only the promise of having it autographed. A year later, I've got my shiny new CD, plus a free t-shirt, and $5 off other band-related merch. Very nice. Still, not really any less than a record-company-produced album would cost. Hopefully the artists will see more money out of this, though.

Easy answer: Go to a good stereo shop and listen through the HD-650.

Too true. :(

Maybe you should have...
You got the model number wrong. The SL56 from Rogers is $400, and Fido doesn't sell it. The A56 from Fido is $25, and Rogers doesn't sell it.
Very different phones.
A much less costly alternative would be to install some type of wireless communications network.
