Replacement suggestions for Shure SE535
Oh I completely forgot - I also have ACS custom moulds so whatever replacements I get I need to be able to get moulds made for them. I think the company that took the impressions keep it on file so as long as the earpieces support it then I should be able to order them easily.- negev

Replacement suggestions for Shure SE535
I've had SE535s for a couple of years now and mostly I like them, except that I've gone through about 4 or 5 iPhone cables in that time because the cables are poorly made and keep fraying near the earpieces. As the drivers are now out of warranty I'm thinking it might be good to get a new...- negev

Straw poll for Ultrasone Edition 8 owners :)
Hi, I have a LOT of music in Apple Lossless format, and last night for the first time I did some tests with my B&W P5s and I wasn't able to tell the difference between 320kbps mp3s and apple lossless. I'd like to know if people with Edition 8s can tell the difference, so I'd be very...- negev

Ultrasone Edition 8 amp recommendation
Oh, yeah I guess that's probably a good idea. Hello mods, would you kindly move this? :) Price range.. hmm... well I spent over £1000 on the headphones, depends how much difference the amp will make. I'm willing to pay a bit for something decent if it's really going to have a noticeable...- negev

Ultrasone Edition 8 amp recommendation
Hi, I've cracked and ordered a pair of Edition 8s :) Really can't wait to hear them, but my primary source is an iPhone so I'm wondering if it would be worth getting an amp to keep at work that will bring out the best in them while I'm coding. I know the iphone dock's line-out is better...- negev

Need recommendations for *very good* new portable headphones
Hi, Currently using the B&W P5s which i LOVE, the only problem I have is that after an entire day of use my ears hurt a bit. I'm painfully tempted to buy the Ultrasone Edition 8s, which I can afford, but it's a lot of money to spend on headphones. I know the P5s have a weird sound...- negev

B&W P5 ear cushion mod
Hi, I recently bought the B&W P5s and I love them, they sound gorgeous out of my iPhone 4. My only minor complaint is that they become slightly uncomfortable after several hours of use, and whilst I don't mind too much as I'm sure I'll get used to it, I am wondering if it would...- negev

B&W P5 - alternative ear-cups?
What's "afikim"? I don't want to sell these cans, I am in love with their sound.. even if I can't change the ear cushions I still want to keep them for their glorious sound signature. The over-ear cushions would just be a nice improvement, and it seems doable.- negev

B&W P5 - alternative ear-cups?
Ok here's my plan. I buy another set of P5 ear cushions, and remove the inner plastic part from the cushion itself. Hopefully the magnets are also fixed to this inner piece. I then get some soft over-ear pads from somewhere else and attach them to this plastic inner piece somehow. This...- negev

Best portable headphones, very specific use-case, please help :)
Well to be honest it's not, i could afford the Ultrasones. The issue is whether they would be worth it when I'm only using an iphone, as there's only so much you can do to make up for a relatively low-fi input source. I don't mind spending £1040 if it's worth it, but not if I'm only going to...- negev

They look really nice, but probably a bit of a waste when I'm just listening to MP3 or FLAC on a low-power dac ;)- negev
