Hello all,   I have been using these excellent headphones for a couple of years now to list to my Ipod Video 5.5 loaded with all my ripped CD collection which has been uploaded in Apple Lossless....... it all sounds just fine. But i now notice that you can pick up my headphones (brand new) for...

Found two cases in the end..... being discontinued and got them for £1 each !!!   I have managed to sort out my itunes libary (ie reduced it so i can get it onto an 80gb Ipod), all my lossless CD rips have gone over minus the artwork..... looking in the file section but nothing says i can...

 Right, this is did not know, i thought they were all called a '' classic '' thanks.

Thanks for the link, i had a look but as usual most are for the newer models and they are in the USA anyway so i would have to import a case !!! This is turning into a kind of Holy Grail stylee quest !

That is very nice indeed..... will mine being an 80gb be '' thicker '' than the 30gb one ? I am having zero luck, just been on ebay and all they say is '' ipod classic '' but i know that the 5th gen is not the same dimensions as the newer ones, very frustrating.

I have just purchased a very nice condition 80gb Ipod of the 5th generation variety, but trying to get a suitable case for it is proving a little bit of a pain, i bought a Belkin one from Fleabay which said it fitted my ipod and the newer 160gb..... it does not, it only fits the newer model...

Thanks guys, i have coded them in Apple Lossless not FLAC, i can not imagine my phone can read apple lossless so i may need to just do them again.

I have recently purchased the M8 after owning an Apple Iphone 3Gs , i found the sound quality fine with the Iphone, i have ripped all my cd's onto itunes via my laptop in lossless.   I  have zero clue where to start to get all my music over to the M8...... Would anyone care to direct me to a...

Thanks for that, i am based in the UK and had considered the Fiio E17 as they go for a decent price and yes i would get the cable to by-pass the internal DAC of the ipod, i find the music via my Iphone 3gs to be decent but as always...... is there more !!!

I had considered buying a new Sony Xperia Z1 Mini and then adding some micro sd cards for my music, but i am not to sure now. So now i am looking at getting a new Apple ipod classic and putting my current iphone into storage (a 3gs) and maybe getting either the Z1 mini (and no cards) or an...

I currently have my iphone3gs loaded with about 28gb 's worth of Apple Lossless CD's that i have ripped from my collection, i think the sound quality is decent..... but would i seen an improvement if i also used a decent headphone amp,  my headphones are a set of Audio Technica's.   I may be...

You guys certainly are experienced in headphones !!! I guess if your already heavily into quality cans and have been for a while then i can not add anything to the discussion (given my newbie status), but to guys (and girls) who just want a very high quality set of phones at a very reasonable...

Quote: Ditto, and have done for 30 years. She sounds amazing through these cans, i have been using some Sennheiser 62TV headphones up until now and the difference is just amazing, you really do get what you pay for.  The bass side of my new phones is just fine by me, i don't like too...

Wow, living over the '' pond '' must be nice, there are no discount vouchers over here in rainy England !!!

They do sound nice but i have just bought the M50's and comparted to my old phones they sound just brilliant. I like the bass on them as it's not to heavy and seems to fit in with the type of music i listen too (female acounstic - Kate Bush etc), the idea of lots more bass may not fit in with...

I do a lot of my listening whilst in bed (ie in the dark) and do find you can '' get into '' the music a lot easier than in daylight with lots of other activities going on (tv on, radio in the background, kids and wife moving about etc). The mere fact that all around you is dark and silent i do...

Well as you can see from the number of posts i have submitted  i am new to all this quality headphone '' shinanigans'', but wow what a difference, i received them in the post today and after a few minutes attached to my minidisc player knew what all the fuss was about and what i had paid my cash...

I need a good set of full sized headphones to use with my Sony 909 minidisc unit, i listen only at home but after reading reviews on the set they all say they are excellent..... but .... they refer to them as monitor, studio and mixing headphones ?? I just listen to my adorable Kate Bush albums...

Cheers for that, i have looked at the Denon D2000's and they look just fine, would my MD player drive these 26ohm cans ?

Yep.... well i must clarify... my wife was watching .... so i had to watch with her.

Thanks for all the help, you all have replied very quickly and with lots of information. I will start the search for the headphones tomorrow (been watching the Royal Wedding all day !) . Thanks again.

Good idea, i noticed anyway that the full sized headphone amps have both Left and Right (line in ) connectors whereas my MD player has ONE line out connector.... whoops.

Hi, Yes the unit does have a line out, and i had thought of getting either a Graham Slee voyager amp or even one of the larger stand amps, given i will be leaving the MD player on my bedside cabinet, size is not a problem, i could then leave it powered in and ready to go. The £200 is not...

No need to carry them around, i had thought of a budget of about £200, if i did get some high end ones would my MD run them ok without an amp ? I do like the headphones that completly cover the ears, my current ones sort of '' sit '' on my ears which i don't really like.

Hi all, Thanks for the quick replies, i currently use a set of Sennheiser HD-62 tv phones which i understand were designed for tv watching etc, they sound just fine on my MD player.   I just think the sound on my MD player is richer, the bass is better, and the overall spacial experience...
