    [Amp Noob] Amp for AKG Q701 / Mobile Phone?

    Thanks guys :-)   The shootout is a fantastic read, seeing what the pros and cons are of each unit, several of which I was in the process or looking through user reviews for. And @WiR3D, cheers for the info on the SIII. I'll be honest in saying I've not read any in-depth reviews, but based...

    [Amp Noob] Amp for AKG Q701 / Mobile Phone?

    Thanks mutnat for understanding :-)   Constraints would be that it deffo. needs to be pocket friendly and under the £70 mark. Would feel more comfortable towards the £50 spot though. With my Q701 connected to my Sensation XL, I need the volume up at the max, whereas with my friends Beats...

    [Amp Noob] Amp for AKG Q701 / Mobile Phone?

    I realise that, but it didn't stop me wanting them and loving them... Just want a bit more oomph from my portables :-)   edit: Plus, as is I'm getting so much more details from these compared to anything else I own. Whoops the pants off my Beats HD Solos (shudder) and can see me using my...

    [Amp Noob] Amp for AKG Q701 / Mobile Phone?

    Hi guys,   I realise I am probably out of place compared with the rest of you audiophiles, but please, bear with me here. I got an incredible deal on the AKG Quincy Jones Q701's and I instantly liked what I read in reviews about it's super clean, amazingly accurate sound.   I have...

    Jays a-Jays - One vs Two vs Three - Worth the difference?

    Sorry shigzeo. As you can see i'm fairly new here - only recognise some of the regulars and your name is new to me, so just took it how mark typed it. Looking at a few headphones and considering a higher-end pair as well as one of the a-Jays as a second "knock-around" set. I would go for the two...

    Jays a-Jays - One vs Two vs Three - Worth the difference?

    Sorry for being dumb... shizego is a member here or is it some review site? Tried looking for him here and found nothing. Couldnt see anything on Google either.

    Jays a-Jays - One vs Two vs Three - Worth the difference?

    Besides the extra one or two accessories and slightly different 'finish', is there actually a noticable sounds difference between the three versions?   Looking at the specifications the one has a 95dB sensitivity. Two has 96dB and Three has 97dB. Similarly, each have a 2kHz frequency...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    Quote: Absolutely fair-do's :-) My main gripe was the fact they play it via loudspeaker disturbing everyone else rather than choice of music, but I do respect that the Apple buds are really bad and leak worse than a tap which is why I rarely go above 50-60% volume on the iPhone so as to try...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    I can't believe I didnt mention my source earlier...   I still have not made a complete decision but having looked around these forums a bit more, it seems most people who have RE0 are using them with amps. I intend to be using just my iPhone 3GS - will the RE0 still perform well or do they...

    RE-Zero In-ear headphones Limited Edition Sample Give Away

    It's now July... Anybody know anything more about a release date?   Im seriously considering the RE0 but it's going to be used with an iPhone, whereas these new RE-ZERO's seem like they will be much better with such a source than the RE0's as I believe you really only get the full benefit...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    Apart from the Phiatons i've already looked into all of those. Only the S4's and Philips are actually sourceable within the UK. From what I can see anyway. Cheers for the wrapping tip and travel case suggestion, iemmustiane think i might go for the RE0's once i finish work tonight.

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    rawrster, I'm not buying them from Amazon - the UK site doesnt even sell them. What I was saying is I've had trouble with warranty claims with products bought overseas before, and was just wondering what Head-Direct were like with warranty claims from people in Britain. Many American...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    So for commuting these should be spot on for me, you reckon?   Also, given these guys are based in America, will warranty still be honoured for those buying overseas? That was really what I was trying to ask. Klipsch wouldnt have anything to do with my warranty claim, saying as I was outside...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    iemmustiane, The RE0's sound more and more like a good deal.   Just so I can be sure, these are the right ones from the right manufacturer, right? http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=38#   Also from the new packaging it looks like there's now 5 sets of the felt filters. Is...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    Thanks for the quick reply James.   I have actually spent half an hour earlier looking at these, particularly because they are now just £18 from about £40. The reviews on Play are very favourable but the ones on Amazon have really put me off a lot.  ...

    Best <£60 earphones for 3 hour daily bus commute?

    Hey guys. I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks as I am dire need of new earphones and have been doing my own researching, but seem to constantly be hitting obstacles or even brick walls. I will list some of the earphones I have been looking at, along with how I feel about each (through...
