My husband loves his old (1980s) Sennheiser headphones. Our son would borrow them a lot so I ordered him a new pair via Amazon, and he said to give them only one star. The company was resting on its laurels. (This was maybe ten years ago.) Glad you're liking your new pair!
I found you thanks to @galenkp's post. Our son, @mvkean, is a jazz bassist with a degree in music, five years as a freelance bassist in Chicago, then three in New York, then.. Covid! ... which led to a year in Mexico, minus his upright bass and most of his home recording studio. He resumed guitar instead (percussion is not portable but who knows, he could resume that too, one day). He works a remote office job by day and enjoys the live music scene even though he hasn't been in band for a long time now.
Hard times for musicians, chronically underpaid, got so much harder during the pandemic. You seem to be thriving.
It has always been hard for musicians but I have managed to survive, and I'm grateful for that. I'm surprised your son only gave Sennheiser 1 star. I'm very happy with their equipment. I wish your son all the best and hope to hear his compositions. So happy that you found me through @galenkp's post
My husband LOVED his first (old) pair of Sennheisers. He's the one who one-starred the newer pair and handed them off to our son, ostensibly to keep Miles from borrowing Dad's vintage headphones which, wouldn't ya know it, are no longer working like they once did.
Miles has a few albums recorded and has produced several --and I only have one link, to his first album, which is an acquired tasted. I'm partial to The First African Space, based on the scammers who came up with the scenario. (They left him behind at the space station, using his seat for cargo!) - so if you listen and don't like it, no worry, but I will always love these songs because I know their history and the composer. :) https://mileskean.bandcamp.com/album/my-name-is-miles
Oops, "in" space
point of view of stranded astronaut
In 1979 I became the first African in space
On a secret flight to the salyut 6 space station
Something happened on my second flight
To another Soviet military space station
I was stranded there in 1990
when the Soviet Union dissolved
The rest of my crew returned to Earth
But my place was taken up by return cargo
There have been occasional supply flights
To keep me going
I am still in good humor
But I want to come home
Yeah I want to come home

Thanks Carol for sending - had a quick listen - so few hours in the day and so much to do whilst still in S Africa. He has a good voice and the lyrics are interesting. Love the chord progressions and the simplicity of the song
Thank you for taking time to listen and comment. So few hours in a day - indeed!
You're welcome Carol.
