if they don't accept you then they have a HIGH standard. 3.46 is excellent to me :)

where are you listening?, make sure you do it in a quiet area of course but most importantly i always close my eyes when i listen to them because you will be able to focus more on the sound then looking around and not focusing. Also you have to consi...
