My Dad Reviews $20k Worth of Headphones...

Описание: I’ve been blessed with having the influence of several music lovers in my life, my dad being one of them. I’ve also been blessed with the fortune of having the opportunity to listen to several of the best headphones in the world at the time of recording this video (thanks to you supporters, and to a couple of specific individuals, head-fi member Sa11297, and channel friend, Ahmad Rashdan). I thought I’d share the love and bring my dad in to have a listen. This video is his and my conversation after spending an afternoon listening to some classic rock with some of the world’s finest cans. Hopefully it gives you some insight into a couple of different perspectives on these bad boys.

I’ll do a more in-depth review / comparison on everything in the video later.
