Just wanted to point this out from noble's website; "Note that the Noble FoKus Pro is a premium headphone. It will handle the occasional sweaty workout, but it is not recommended that the FoKus Pro be submerged in water or worn in the shower or rain." The "it will handle occasional sweaty...

Do the fokus pro have IPX rating similar to Falcon Pro? Was just about to purchase Falcon pro for commuting/running. Extremely happy to hear the release of fokus pro!

As the title suggests, I am looking for some advice for upgrading from my HiFi M8 which I use as a AMP/DAC. I am looking for anything with a 4 pin xlr balanced output, and currently considering the Jotunheim as its also an amp/dac but am wondering about what other options there are. These will...

Anyone ordered from mrspeakers-europe.com here that can tell me how long their delivery took ?

Mine also took a week or so

No unfortunately they dont. Theres a cable with mic and volume controls for the ie800 called the RCS 800 or something like that. It costs around 150 pounds in the UK though.

Thanks for the reply :)

That would just make the situation worse! 

  Sorry let me rephrase, I have to go from eating pot noodles to a cheaper brand, specifically anything from a 99p shop.

I'm sorry if I whined so much, I will end up buying the X5, just might have to eat pot noodles for a week or so.

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE 

I think I am just going to end up paying the £290, darn it. Sometimes I wish I had a cheaper hobby, like collecting stones from sea shores or something.

I feel like going to america, spending thousands of pounds on audio equipment I want to buy and just come back to england. If I had thousands of pounds to spend that is.

Why is it like that though? I mean do the products come to UK via USA? Might be a stupid question but I just dont understand why everything needs to be much more expensive in europe compared to other regions.

I was hoping for something around £250 too. 10 pounds short of 300 is kinda pushing it for me.

Darn why is everything so expensive in the UK ....

hmm. thanks.   Well then I might as well use the fiio x5 as a dac when I get it.

I have been through this thread a few times now but I still can't find a suggestion of what would be a good amp/dac for the ie800's.   Can anyone suggest me a amp/dac that works well with the ie800's ?

nevermind.

woops

I know this might sound strange but, I have actually started to consider  HE-400/500 or even ath w1000x!

thank you for the suggestion, I will definately check it out. Man I just wish I could afford the T1's. I listened to them once and they just blew me away completely.

they are still very expensive in the uk :(

no I actually dont want to stay mobile :) I use my IE80's as mobile now and I wanted to upgrade my DT 1350 to a full size headphone with similar sound signature.

what would be a good upgrade from the dt 1350?
