Hey guys. Today my old JVC HA-S500's died on me, so it's probably time for an upgrade. I tend to listen to use headphones at home, but am moving to a uni hall soon so I might prefer something slightly isolating. I also like to listen when I'm on a walk so I guess I won't be using an amp. I...

So I'm still considering buying these as they seem to be a pretty well lasting hype, and I need a new pair. However, how much of the praise they get is actually based on the sound of them with mods like new pads etc? I'd prefer to just buy the headphones and not bother with any new pads that...

Thanks, that's definitely a rather assuring answer, with all the good things I've heard, the low cost and the fact it isn't as bad as the HD205s I might just give these a shot! With NZ prices for 205s still ratherhigh I might even be able to get a similar return.

Weight would've indeed been a good thing to search, forgot about that, but it's definitely not the only factor. I'm trying to hear from people how comfortable they are for a few hours of usage, an x amount of kgs can give an impression, but doesn't tell you that. Could've probably searched that...

So after being recommended these, I might as well ask a few questions about these headphones right? :) I currently own a pair of HD205s, their common issues are the lack of bass and the lack of comfort. In fact, my ears will hurt after about 15-30 minutes of wearing them, which is annoying since...

Sounds good, eBay lists them for around 50USD + 17 shipping = 83 NZD or so, which is decent. Looked in the thread on the forums here and it seemed to be a really popular/well received headphone, but some complain about a low bass/lack of comfort here too. Of course the other downside is the fact...

So guys, I figured I'd give this thread a shot too. I am looking to buy on-ear/over-ear headphones, they will mainly be used for listening to music, gaming and maybe a movie or two. I mainly listen to hardstyle, punk/rock and house music, so a decent, but not overdone bass would be nice...

Actually not a bad idea, I might just do that and get some new headphones then, no clue on those either but I'll have a look around.

Heard quite a lot of good things about these, but unfortunately they are well over my budget (read: 320 NZD is the cheapest I could find). I don't think that with my current lack of knowledge it is a good idea to go bargain hunting no, that'd just set me up for even bigger potential bad...

Hi all, After years of great service, I think it is finally time to get rid of these speakers that are older than me. I am looking for a pair of computer speakers for preferably less than 100NZD, which equates to about 75 USD. My budget isn't too strict, but I preferably don't want to spend...
