Hi Graham... I've been looking for a phone in this category that fits better. I've have the QC35s, and I just got the XM2 version of the Sonys, but both of them put too much physical pressure on my largish ears. I can't find the PXC's to try, but comfort is the big deal as I do a lot of...

I'm looking for over ear bluetooth phones with noise canceling for flying, which I do a lot of. I don't like IEM's on planes.    I just got the Backbeat Pro and while I find the sound colored and bassy a bit (not a basshead and prefer a balanced, rich bass) they do sound good. The one real...

I need some advice folks. I'm pretty well equipped for phones, but simply can't find a good headphone for walking...and I'm doing a lot of walking lately, attached to iPod, iPhone and/or Hornet. My Shure e500s usually sound good, but I've tried every imaginable tip and can't find a fit that...

I think it's worth considering Ultrasone Pro 650 or 750s for critical mixing. S-Logic makes for a very differentiated soundstage, and helps visualize the mix without too much weird coloration of the field. And they're both closed, so they work well for tracking too. Delightful phones after...

I just recently picked up both Proline 650s and a new edition Pro 750 which arrived today. Mostly looking for a closed phone to use in the project studio, so figured I'd give them a listen. Hearing the 650s convinced me enough to try the 750s. It may be infatuation, perhaps, but I really like...

Sennheiser's new MX W1 earbuds get wireless with Kleer - Engadget MX W1 earbuds...fully wireless with dongle, $600 apparently.

I have an Ultralite, which is primarily a recording interface for the computer...it has 8x8 IOs, including 2 balanced inputs with mic pres, SPDIF, and a standalone mixer...and it comes with Motu's recording apps and a mixer console applet for OSX. It's fundamentally a recording interface used...

I was amazed at what the Hornet could do even with PX100s...they open up, soundstage widens out, takes a very ordinary phone and turns it into something astounding. Then you plug in the bigger Senns and the Beyers, etc. etc...

I guess I just don't see this as that big a deal. Sure, we've pre-ordered. Everybody wants their goods...You want your Westone 3's just like me, the dealers are twitching and itching to run those credit cards through, and Westone is waiting to meet the pent up demand its marketing folks have...

All I can say is that my Hornet, which I have only about 150-200 hrs on since I got a few weeks ago, just completely blows my mind. The gain switch means I can use it with IEMs and still drive the HD600 with ease. What this amp can do even to PX100's is totally astonishing. I've been in a...

I got my father-in-law a couple of pairs of wireless phones a year or two ago, and he tried them all out and decided to stick with the Sennheiser RS65s. They were like $80, and now others can sit in the same room with him while he's watching TV. He's not fussy about the sound so much, but he did...

For Mac OS/X users, take a look at CoverScout. Does the Amazon online searching thing, etc.

I've been living and travelling with ER-4P for a couple of years, and they've been my standard phones for flights and noisy env for awhile...but just started dating E500s. I like both still, but I have to confess in the first week with e500, I'm hearing detail I haven't heard before. It took...
