audiophile jokes

A Real-Life Idiot

As I use a separate headphone amplifier, there is no possibility of the headphones muting the speaker output.

I have, a couple of times, put the headphones on my head, started the music, and faced a previously-sleeping wife... I forgot to turn off the speakers.

The other day, I was listening to music, paused it to make a drink, returned, put on the headphones and restarted the music. It took me a an embarrassing number of minutes to realise that the headphone amplifier was not even on, and that the sound was coming from the speakers!

(Yes, my headphones are open-back: very open, they do not isolate at all)

Happened to me at workplace many moons ago. Upon learning my interest in music, my project coordinator got me a CD of his brother who was an Indie artiste. I put it on my computer and was wondering why the volume is so low (from my el cheapo Sony headphones). I kept cranking up the volume to no effect. Only when I saw amused faces around me I realized I had kicked the headphone jack off the socket (desktop CPU kept under the desk).

I love to laugh but seldom gets the opportunity to. This incident and the way you narrated it made me laugh. Thanks for sharing.

Happened with me a couple of times. For a moment I wondered how the sound stage suddenly became enormous and three dimensional!

I was wondering how the phones were sounding so loud off my ears when I realized that I had not plugged them into the mobile phone on my lap!!!

I had the 100 till the beginning of 2014 . Only difference is there's no expandable memory and no music player (Just radio). Battery lasted for days.

Now that is not a joke but a true fact. The linear speed of the two points are indeed different and faster for the outer one.
