    Best looking headphones

    Not a big fan of the M50's myself either, but to answer your question yeah it should be fine. They fold flat so they can go around your neck easily enough, I have a mate with a pair and he has them wherever he goes!

    Best looking headphones

    Might be a little beyond your budget, and I may be a little biased as I own a pair but the Sennheiser Momentums are some of the sexiest headphones I've ever seen. Excellent build and audio quality too, in my opinion.   V-Moda are also considered to be pretty good looking round here too...

    custom IEM suggestions

    Cosmic Ears have been getting some positive noises around here, pretty cheap too. May be worth a look?

    UE700 discontinued, next best thing or better?

    Thanks for all the responses everyone!   I've checked out a bunch of reviews and they are clearly all good phones/   So between say, the RE-400, RE-272 and DBA-02, can anyone tell me how each compares to the UE700?   EDIT: Also, being in the UK I'm struggling to find stockists for...

    UE700 discontinued, next best thing or better?

    Hi guys,   Recently, my beloved UE700's suffered the time-old classic of the cable severing at the jack. I sent them to Logitech to replace and after holding them for longer than they should have, they've informed me that due to their discontinuation of the UE700 (stupid idea :( ) they have...

    Kickstarter Headphone - Grain Audio, any thoughts?

    Saw these the other day and I'm sorely tempted to bite. Especially since they've been funded now...   I reckon I'd go for the PWS and IE's though, not sure the OE's would stack up to my Momentum's in terms of comfort.   It's payday next week too.. choices choices!   Would be great...

    Looking for IEM's at a fair price with great isolation that aren't clunky and built well.

    I have the UE700's and they're great. They're tiny and the isolation on them is great, once they're in I can't hear people talking to me at all. If you're after numbers, they isolate to 26dB.   They don't have a pouch though, but a small hard case, that may or may not be too big for you...

    Anyone make a thin short iPhone plug for audio 3.5mm?

    I've been wondering the same thing, I've looked through all the respected brands like Neutrik and Switchcraft etc, but they don't seem to make 4 pole connectors (which is what you're looking for to support the mic).   I ended up ordering one of these as it was the best looking and cheapest I...

    Samsung Galaxy S3 to DAC - USB Micro-B male to Mini-B male??

    Has anyone managed to find a short one of these yet? Like LOD type lenth? That xDuoo one looks perfect, I wonder if it can be bought aftermarket anywhere? Ideally I want one in the UK though...

    Tweaks on the AKG K240 Studios

    Have you thought about just getting the MKII's? They come with both pleather pads and velvet pads (and are apparently more comfy than the Studios, but I've never tried the Studios) They won't require any painting with nail polish, which seems an odd choice, would destroy the re-sell value...

    Hisound’s Popular IEMs, 80% off for supporting our dealer’s new ebay store

    Just looked into postage costs, and it's at least £4 without tracking, but I wouldn't be comfortable sending something overseas without tracking anyway. And postage with tracking costs £9, which is almost as much as I paid for the headphones in the first place...   Quote:   Not...

    Hisound’s Popular IEMs, 80% off for supporting our dealer’s new ebay store

    It kinda seems from the linked reviews that the Wooduo 2 is the IEM the Popular was trying to be...   I've never posted anything to China, but I can't imagine it's cheap, would that also be refunded? Because I paid a tenner for the Popular's in the first place and I can't imagine postage...

    The NEW JVC HA-S400. Affordable Carbon Nanotube cans for the masses.

    Can anyone recommend a nice looking, nice sounding cheap headphone that could take the drivers from these? I know it's silly but I'm not keen on the design of these so I was thinking I might get a cheap pair of well built phones (so possibly used) to transplant these spangly nano-tube drivers...

    Hisound’s Popular IEMs, 80% off for supporting our dealer’s new ebay store

    So mine came today, mixed impressions really, and all this is before any burn-in.. It's also worth noting I'm a bit of a noob, but I am used to mixing tracks in a studio so I have some idea.   I've not experience any of the problems with tips that people have mentioned, using the larger...
