The P7's were a bit disappointing initially. During the demo they sounded fantastic. I can now say that picking the P7 over all the portables was the best choice I have made in a while. I am now hoping to get the FiiO X5! They also clamp initially, but now they are extremely comfortable! Also to...

A Non-audiophile Ranking   1. B&W P7: Great and stylish headphones. Unbelievable clarity, the bass is accurate and is also extremely comfortable to wear for long durations. Tested the Sennheiser Momentums, Beyerdynamic T1p, KEF M500 and Sony MDR-7520; the B&W P7 beats all of them.  I cannot...

So happy with my purchase. The staff at Custom Cable were gregarious and helpful. They managed to find me the right headphones, and I was pleasantly suprised at how phenomenal the B&W P7 was! With the being said, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else in London; Barlett and Superfi will not...

Hey Phil. I am coming soon to visit the store in the near future, and I really cannot wait. I want to find the easiest route to get to the store, but it seems that I might have to take the DLR from London. I wish there was a Hi-Fi store in North London. *Sigh*.

I tried them today, and they fit! Yes, finally. I will purchase the FiiO X5 too.

Hey cel, I have been trying to find alternatives to the 7520, and I have canceled my order for the 7520; if something goes wrong, I won't be able to fix it (I'm useless). I'm getting mixed messages from the guy at the Hi-Fi store, as he tells me that I would have to pay extra money if I want...

amigomatt, could you recommend portable headphones with sublime sound quality, good isolation and excellent comfortability? 

Would you recommend the Sennheiser Momentum's? They are a very comfortable fit according to my brother. Would the FiiO X3 go well with the Momentum's, or should I wait for the X5?

Guys are there alternatives to the 7520? Or are there better headphones than the 7520?

1. MDR-7520 2. Musical Fidelity MF-100 Those are the only headphones that are worth mentioning.

Although I am not too worried about how headphones look, these are really ugly! My brother would probably concur with me too. 

I am getting the FiiO X3 as a portable amp, but I may wait for the X5 to be released in the UK. Also, my brother is looking for the same types of headphones -- and unfortunately, the 7520 was the last one they had in stock, and they won't be stocking them again! What do you guys recommend? He...

Thanks for the reply. I am glad to say I have found some really good headphones -- the MDR-7520! The best I've heard, since the other headphones, namely the Focal Spirit Classic, in the showroom were lacking in bass and clarity.

Well he (the manager) told me to get an amp and he would take off £50. Not sure what I should do to be honest. He is offering me the Beyerdynamic A200p for £150.  What do you think?
