    Bowers and Wilkins PX7 for the larger head?

    I have quite a large head. Not wide, but oval shaped and quite tall. This unfortunately means that the B&W Px5’s that I used to own were a little too small. Even at the most extended, if I had the earcups on my ears, I couldn’t have the headband on the top of my head. This is a shame as they...

    Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, Momentum 2 or wireless?

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I really want over ear rather than on ear headphones.

    Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, Momentum 2 or wireless?

    I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD 660S headphones that I am very pleased with. However, their are times where I could do with a reasonably price pair of closed headphones, ideally without the need for a headphone amplifier (although I do have a Dragonfly Black and an Ifi Zen DAC I can...

    Please help me start all over again

    I'm hoping someone can help me start again and get me back into headphone listening.   It's been a while since I've haunted these pages and to be honest, I lost interest in headphones etc for quite a while. I have been using a set of Klipsch Image X10 in-ear phones with my iPod Touch...

    How would you rate the Sony MZ-R 909 MD

    Here you go. It's not a net MD unit - they tend to be "MZ-N". It does have an optical in. Nice sturdy unit with a good sound

    Something a little upmarket???

    Ahh, but it (the 2) is shiny. Bling!

    Something a little upmarket???

    A lot of DAPs are made of plastic. What if you want something made of metal? Stainless steel, aluminium or something of that ilk. Perhaps something sturdy that is almost hewn from granite. Maybe something shiny? A Beosound 2 or 6 maybe? Something a little upmarket? So, your thoughts...

    Review - Klipsch X10 vs Shure SE310

    Isn’t it typical? I buy myself some Shure SE310s and a week later, I’m in HMV and they’re selling Klipsch Image X10s for £99.99. My better half decided to treat me to a pair on the basis that if I didn’t like them, I could always sell them. So, it’s shoot out time: the Shure 310s that cost me...

    Shure SE310 - A Personal Review

    To cut to the chase, go to Listening Background Having been given a 64GB iPod Touch for Christmas, I wanted some new IEMs to use with it. Having heard on Head-Fi that the headphone output on the Touch sounded different to the 120GB iPod Classic I was used to, I decided to see how my...

    Ultimate Ears Superfi 5

    Hi all Saw this picture last night and was impressed how nice (read sleek and shiny) these look. The question is, what do they sound like? Does anyone have any idea? How are they for clarity, bass, treble etc? How would they compare to the SE310? Thanks

    [Comparison] ATH-CK10 vs UE TF10 (Lots of pics...56k Warning!)

    Very tempted by the CK10s. How deep do they go into the ear cannal (compared to the Shures)? Thanks

    Please help me upgrade my SE110s

    I was under the impression from other posts that the IE8s were quite mid-bass heavy and that whilst the ie7s are more neutral, they have a rolled off treble. I used to have some HD650s but changed these for HD600s as the HD650s were too dark, IMO. Are the IE8s the IEM version of the HD650s...

    Please help me upgrade my SE110s

    Thanks for the replies. I tend to listen to lossless files or v0 MP3s if desperate The SE310s seem to polarise opinion. Some people seem to think they're very like the SE210s and therefore poor value for money, whilst others are very complimentary (eg Headroom). The SE310s do look a...

    Please help me upgrade my SE110s

    I was lucky enough to receive a 64GB 3G iPod Touch for Christmas, which has replaced my iPod Classic. I was intending to buy some new earphones or IEMs anyway, but as the sound from the headphone out on the Touch seems to be totally different from the Classic, I have had to reconsider which ones...

    CX95 + CX550 Appreciation Thread

    How do the CX550's compare to the CX500's? My partner has the CX500's but I find the treble on them to be artificial, almost metallic. I also don't find them to be particularly transparent. Thanks

    Help choosing earphones or IEM's for iPod Touch

    Thanks for the replies so far. How's the clarity and treble with the IE8's? I'm just a little concerned they might be the IEM version of the HD650, which I found a little dark. I prefer the HD600's, which have a better upper treble response. Cheers Peter

    Help choosing earphones or IEM's for iPod Touch

    My other half is kindly buying me a 64GB iPod Touch for Christmas. I would like to buy some earphones for it but do not want to use an amp. Actually, I am not bothered if they are earphones, IEM's (but not ones that go too deep) or clip ons. I have an old pair of Sennheiser MX500's, but these...
