If I may add my 2p worth on this... I was also looking for a 'reasonable' BT set of cans, and this more than fitted my price range, so I also took a punt. The look and feel was good out of the box, and felt worth more than the £65 I paid. However that was where the good feelz stopped! I was...

Thanks J,   FYI it costs £20.33 to import the M80's at the new price, but future calculations are done at 2% duty (if above £135) plus 20% VAT. The shipping provider MAY add their own handling charge also.

Rather annoyingly two if the listings I was hoping to bid on were ended early, and the other went for more than I thought sensible.   Just to add to the list of potentials, would V-Moda M80's be bassy enough for a rock enthusiast? I've seen varying reviews. Also does anyone know the approx...

There are a couple of listings ending this weekend that I'm interested in, but at least I have a solid few to choose from if I don't get those.   All your help has been greatly appreciated, will update the post as more unfolds!

Thanks, will certainly wait on that listing to end, and see if I can sneak a quality pair of cans on the cheap then!

Was referring to the Aurvana, with a couple of reviews suggesting they were a little flimsy. It's v hard to judge in this virtual world 

Appreciated. Guess I need to actually get some on my head 1st to hear the differences?!

Quality looking cans! Really liking those.   The reviews say that build quality could be better, is it worth getting refurb/used higher grade units?

Thanks for the info J, and they really do sound like they'd do the job - and look the mutts!   However, even at your sale price they are a bit too steep for me, as I was hoping to get some for around £50, or slightly more if the necessity arose  crackin' as they look, it's like fancying...

Opinions on the DT770?

I would like the detachable cable so that I can replace this later if it were to get damaged, but I guess it's not critical if it's detrimental to the phones? Closed seems to be favourite then *removes K451 from list* so the Onkyo fill the brief - Google searches will fill my evening!

My main issue with the Onkyo, is the supply. UK stockists bump the price, so where the US charges $120, the UK is £150 ($250)!!

Thanks Trunks,   Been looking again at the UE 6000, but cannot get them easily in the UK. All of the US shippings add $30 for taxes, let alone the $40 shipping charges, which makes for a much larger bill than necessary! Anyone got some on here that they'd be willing to part with for a...

Are the previous SR60 similar enough in quality (see eBay comment previously!)

Thanks again Claritas.   Based on the fact that I have 2 young boys and a lively Jack Russell, which I will be using the headphones to walk outside, means that they will certainly not get the care of a potential audiophile like yourself! With that in mind, is the removable cable more advisable...

*Update*   Didn't realise that the Beyer's have a fixed cable - is that an issue longer term?   Having trawled eBay, I have found some old Grados (SR60 and RS1), but would they still be better than newer current models and suitable to my bass requirements?! On a slight tangent I've also...

Recommended more than some $200 versions, high praise indeed! These are now climbing the wish list 

The Mikros, apart from the availability issue, just look a bit awkward on the head so I'm thinking I'll steer clear. However, could I now add the Beyerdynamic DTX501P to the mix? Any pro's/con's? The reviews say they are good with the bass, and great VFM.   Any help appreciated!

Thanks for the information Claritas, will look for the Mikros thread.   Is there any opinion on the AKG K450/451/452 as these are readily available in the UK and have been reviewed well.   Any other suggestions welcome, I would prefer to do the research now than have someone suggest a better...

I cannot find a UK supplier on the Mikros 90's, so would have to buy unseen if I were to take that step. Has anyone bought/tried these? I have a larger than average head (XL cycle helmet 60cm+!) and ALL of the reviews say that it's a tight fit. However these are on Newegg.com for $79.99 so would...

The Onkyo looks nice (I also have a wireless USB speaker system by Onkyo for my laptop) so will certainly check those out.   Please forgive my ignorance, but could you also provide manufacturer with model references, as I am entirely clueless as to the models you've mentioned there Trunks!

Thanks for the reply Trunks, I will check those out, however perhaps I should have been more clear on my 'budget'!?!   I'd be looking to spend no more than $150 ideally, and I'm in the UK so would need to check local availability.

It must be the eternally asked question, but I will ask it none-the-less!   I am looking for some decent on ear phones after a few attempts at In-Ear phones that have done a job but not been suitable. I've tried Sennheisser, Panasonic, Digital Silence, but all buy before I try    I have a...
