I rate the FX-66 highly, use them all the time with an iPod. I like the sound and they are comfortable, seal well, shutting out surrounding sounds. Had a lot of trouble with the buds coming off, but swapped them for some off a pair of Sony phones and now no more problems.

I dont belive there is anywhere in london selling Head-Fi gear, most UK based people buy over the net, from USA or Far East.

I have a pair of Fx-66 Air cushions that I got at Heathrow for 20 pounds, i love them, comfortable and fine sounding, although they do seem a bit power hungry to me, i have the volume a lot higher than with previous Sony & Phillips models.

I bought a pair of black & red HA-FX 66's at Heathrow on Sunday, 20 pounds, ($40), having failed to find them on the high street. I'm very pleased with them, comfortable, and the sound seems to be improving all the time. Thanks for the tip.

They all seem to rate them very highly, except i'm not sure its the right unit for connecting to a receiver, I'm certain it has only a headphone output, no line or digital out. If you decide to get one, pick up another while your there, and i'll paypal you to airmail it to me in the UK !

I think your chances of getting items through at no extra cost are improved if you have them sent regular airmail, rather than UPS or other carrier service. I'm more than a little surprised at the unavailability of most of the equipment mentioned on this forum, I know we are talking about low...

It's not untypical for the price to be the same in dollars & pounds, $100 translates to 100 pounds, irrispective of where the item was actually manufactured, US, EU, or far east. Even with the added tax & vat, the Imod is still a bargain though, I just don't understand why there isn't someone in...

They are probably trying to work out how much duty & tax to apply, rather than checking the hard drive. They may not charge anything, but if they do, watch out for the carrier slapping on a handling charge. I got a watch from Japan a while ago, customs wanted 22 quid, and royal mail slapped on...

Hi does anyone know if there is a UK or European outlet selling yuin's ? i'd order from the States, but for the risk of tax on top of what seems like quite high S&H charges.

Before my wife's lawyers intervened I listed to stuff through an iPod Photo/Naim62/140 combo/PROAC Tablette set up and the sound was magical, I had a Naim CD3 for hardplay, but theadditional convenience of the iPod won hands down. These days, somewhat down on my luck, I have a 1G nano playing...

well after months of hanging around this forum i finally bit the bullet and ordered a Spirit amp from mSeed Labs. they were like greased lightening, ordered it on Thursday, and it was delivered to London Uk on the tuesday, brilliant stuff. A really nicely finished product as well. To go with it...

hi all, i'm looking for an iPod connector to mini jack cable of reasonable quality to connect up a 1st gen Nano to a Spirit amp. Don't suppose anyone knows of a UK based supplier do they ?
