Before buying my first headphones I do remember placing the speakers 12" apart on the floor and laying between them to listen to The Moody Blues (forget which album, it could have been In Search of the Lost Chord).

Hey Split enz was a good band then it became better turning to Crowded House? Am i wrong?


I never got into Crowded House -- another Australian "house" band I remember quite liking in the 80s was Icehouse.  The only reason why that Split Enz album was the first I heard on the Walkman was because my brother had just bought a Walkman (think it was the first time I saw one) and had True Colours in it and let me listen to it while we dd work on our parents yard.  When I got my first Discman, the first CD I put on was Shubert's Piano Trio in E Flat.  I got it the because the piece  featured in a film called The Humger which rather obsessed me at one time, but classical is my first love.

Most very probably the first music I heard with headphones was classical.  I did particularly love Bach's Brandenberg Concerto as a child, and my dad would only play classical music, but I got to know a lot of rock music (Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project etc.) thanks to my older brothers.

It probably was with some horrendous sony on-ear headphones (those that came with walkmans) listening to some classical music. But all my life I've loved headphones and I finally have a couple that actually let me hear everything as I wanted. I have had a lot of atrocities too.

How was your first headphone experience, what album did you listen to for, for me i remember quite well, 666 on 71, unforgetable especially because there are numerous stereo effects all along this great album, it's very well produced ( not saying for a french production ) An outstanding experience Smile Heart
