I was thinking of pushing it to the end of this week anyway. Have a melody written but don't have much else, things have been a bit hectic in my house as I've been packing and getting ready to move

Just sent mine in for the current round! Anyone else send anything in yet?

Part of the time. I have some reasonably okay external speakers too. I go back and forth between them and the headphones in an effort to have some kind of balanced idea of what I'm putting out.

These are what I primarily listen with.

Sony MDR-XB500's

Anyone reccomend some headphones that are 100 bucks or less that are ****ing awesome and will blow my body and mind?

I really need something better than these 20 dollar sony turds.
