i have a pair of audio technica ath-a500's that are about 13 years old and they are my favorite headphones, but comically large and I am a little self conscious about wearing them out of the house

i called audio technica's repair department to order replacement ear pads a while ago, and apparently the place is run by one guy and he told me that they don't typically ship parts to canada, but he would make an exception for me and personally delivered them to the post office.

i have a set of audioengine a2 speakers for my desktop which are very good sounding to me (the original non-plus model) . they could use a subwoofer but honestly i've gotten used to reduced bass since i've shared walls with neighbors for 19 years of my adult life

i have a 5.0 setup in my living room assembled from thrift store speaker finds. my front's are a pair of axiom 1.5 bookshelf speakers, which look to be from the 1990s. axiom is a canadian boutique brand and they sound pretty good to me. the rear satellites are JBL control 1 monitors and are equally fine. honestly i don't really notice the surround effect very much in movies but for games it really helps with locating the source of enemies.

they are driven with a yamaha RX-V485 and when I watch youtube I like to use the cheesy room effects so it sounds like I am listening to somebody speak in a hall or club
