Worst fear/scare related to audio?

Well this happened to me today, I got the BLON BL-03 this year right? I legit shitting myself when I almost lost the left ear piece of it and I kept on searching and searching everywhere for it freaking out and trying to not lose myself. And to add insult, this happened during Christmas of all holidays like what the hell?! In the end though, some of my relatives managed to find the left ear piece of my BLON BL-03s and now I am much happier that I like got a new gift today in terms of feeling. Can you guys share an experience that is related or close to mine? I am sure some of you had already been there.

Whoah that is pretty scary man. Thankfully they found it! And dropped my micc rb42 speaker, feared it wouldn’t work. Tried turning on the speaker that didn’t fall and it wasn’t working… Scared I changed cables around etc testing both speakers and both worked. What didn’t work anymore was the right channel of my amplifier, had to replace it

Damn that sucks, was it a little pricy too? Did you find it?

Wasn’t the most expensive thing on earth, but definitely wasn’t the highlight of my day aha.
No I bought him a replacement set.

Right, I fee you man. Damn

Back in the day I spent half an hour vacuuming the down stairs of my old gaff while listening to my Sony DC2 only to discover I’d not switched the fricking vacuum on :grimacing:

I thought that story was going to end very differently. Very differently.

Lololol that’s pretty funny

Will have happened to everyone who ever helped/worked at an event with some sort of PA system:
Someone had left the amp at like 80%, plugged in an RCA…

Well, huh, yeah, my worst fear is going deaf. Or getting tinnitus, or tinnitus getting worse.

After all the metal shows I went to, I’d say ears aren’t that fragile. My only recommendation is, if your ears hurt, definitely GTFO. But a (1W or more) headphone amp at high volume can easily sound louder than any concert, and permanently hurt your ears. Be careful with that.

Tinnitus is not fun, and it can take 20 years for it to manifest after the damage.
Mines not terrible, but I’d rather have missed the Motörhead concerts if I had the choice again.

Not me. Lol. I got tinnitus since like 10 years old. I’m 34 now, so I couldn’t care less about my tinnitus. I wanted to see Motörhead live a few years ago. I told myself “bah, next yeah”.

…Lemmy died 2 months after that. :no_mouth:

I saw their last concert before they relocated to the States at Leeds University refectory probably 1989 or 1990. It is by far the loudest concert I have ever been to, and I’ve heard a lot of the “metal” bands from the 80’s/90’s live. They had stadium gear in an an enclosed area that was probably full at 3000 people, I didn’t hear properly for a week afterwards.
Magnum at Hammersmith Odeon was also way up there.
Probably not the only thing that did the damage, but I blame most of my tinnitus on Lemmy, may he Rest In Peace.

Oh holy shit. Lol.
Ok I get it now. That’s scary.

So far losing a piece of my BLON BL-03 was legit a damn scare to me for I love its overall sound and build along with my T2s they go head to head. An another fear that I have experienced like legitimate is that, I got fucking shocked while I was wearing my T2s on my Hyper X Cloud II’s DAC. It made me jumped and hurt my face like I was sitting on an electric chair, but nowadays it’s all been resolved and that incident never happened to me again. Always check your wiring and grounding people, don’t be like me getting shocked by a mini electric chair.

I saw them too in 1980 at the Birmingham Odeon :spades: :metal:
