Looks like Goldring have upped their customer service recently, bought the NS1000 just before Christmas from Play (£50) and the cable that came with it had a lose conection, one email to Goldring and the next day a brand new cable turned up! No questions about how long I had had the headphones or where they were bought from!

I for one am loving the NS1000s with my Fiio E7 and Rockboxed iPod.

I bought these and they are much worse if you compare them with any Sennheiser HD500 range and above.

 

However, because the bass is heavily exaggerated they do very well with a laptop without any external amplifier. In this case the sound becomes like if you had an amplifier (a bad one). If you are traveling around without any amplifier, these will do fine.

 

Also at work these will do well, if you want to listen to music directly from your workstation.

 

These are not high end headphones, far from it. The sound is muffled and the sound feels unnatural.

 

In NS mode you have to reduce the high frequencies somewhat since it overpowers all other.

Information bump.

 

 

If you've lost the original connection cable and find that most 3.5mm cables are too large to work as replacements, getting a Goldring one seems to be impossible without visiting a dealer.

 

 

There are small tip cables on Ebay which work as replacements. I ordered this one:

Hope that this helps anyone looking.
