I'm not going but I get it. There are no longer any brick and mortar stores for better earphone products. If you want to actually hear some things before buying those products, this is the place to get a reasonable audition and sometimes, a deal. It's not like Axpona which is a home audio show where everything including the megabuck stuff sounds like crap. Headphones take the bad room/poor setup/lack of isolation/overstressed power delivery etc out of the equation.

You can be a dick, mail order a dozen things and return 11 but it's poor form and a PITA.
i just have no interest in earphones at all. I’m not ordering any

Welcome. Despite the strictest gun laws in the country, try not to get shot. That's been going around in Chicago lately. ?
Agreed, it’s not like people can go to Northern hick state Indianapolis and get guns

Thanks ! I’ve been before so I get to meet some familiar faces.

I can go on and on posting these things but please share more anecdotes of why your personal experience is more important and relevant than what is going on in Chicago currently.....

You understand those are anecdotes right(well, and a heat map that doesn't tell you much). You're more likely to be murdered in Milwaukee. Not to mention St Louis, New Orleans...and anyone who lives here knows that the majority of murders take place in a handful of neighborhoods.

I guess you miss the point. Let me say it again. I’ve worked in the city of Chicago for 32 years, I’ve been going to see the Bears, Bulls and White Sox for over 32 years and I’ve never heard a gunshot nor have I ever been shot. I know hundreds of people that I’ve worked with over the years who can say the same thing. You can produce the same articles for every major city and even some smaller cities.

That doesn’t fit the narrative he has been told to regurgitate.
