When I got my Sennheiser HD 558 ' s first real good pair of headphones , I was initially disappointed because of how boring they sounded coming from JVC XX ' s . Since I ' d paid over $ 100 for these , I forced myself to use them for a week to see if they ' d grow on me . They did not . I put them back in the box to return and put my old XX ' s on . and that ' s when I noticed the difference . The XX ' s sounded absolutely terrible . Muddy , uncontrolled , and just played ugly sounding it was then I truly realized the massive upgrade I ' d purchased . Still have those Senn ' s to this day . <| sep |> Good lord , a moron with a pet tiger in a suburban house . <| sep |> No , I just grew up in a country that has had more then 50 years of atheism as state religion . I am not religious at all but I respect all religious groups equally . I do not take sides . And I do not fear Muslims more than I do Christians . You all believe in the same God and are Abraham ' s children anyway . I grew up with Muslims , Catholics , Protestants , Ortodox , atheist , agnostic and what not , so I am fine with someone having a cross , wearing a veil , or wearing Game of Thrones TShirt . What ever flows your boat man .
