new anime fan reporting in  well new to the thread, not really to anime since I've pretty much retired from it. Lucky Star and K-On were my days..    I've came to ask if anyone has listened to the Nodame Cantabile Best 100 Box Collection? I've been listening to the first track of Disc 3...

just to report back, funny how I started this thread focused on AKG, but I finally settled on the Sennheiser Momentum. I only had a chance to test out the AKG K550 at one store, where the headphones seemed pretty worn out, the swivelling ear piece felt almost falling apart despite with closer...

Thank you so much for the informative opinion! Got caught up the last few days so only just had the chance to read it in detail and respond. You've definitely shared more practical insight about the K495NC than I've read anywhere else!    I do own a K28NC and I think I know what you're...

Quote: thanks! I'll keep this in mind once i go out to a local shop to take a look there first. 

Quote: these prices are mind bogglingly cheap! do you know if they (munedoelectro and german amazon) ship overseas? mundoelectro website has an 'english' language option which doesn't seem to do anything.. still in spanish.. 

Quote: wow this really is a great deal! I still want to go to a shop to test them out against the Sennheiser Momentum though, haven't had the chance to yet. But from what it seems the price is some 20 or 30euros cheaper than the price I get here in Hong Kong. Though.. how much is shipping...

    I have been to Mingo (the main store) where they said they don't have either of the AKG NCs unfortunately. They said AKG didn't give them any for auditioning. I doubt their branch stores would have them for testing instead? Though I might go back to see if they have the Sony and UEs...

Quote:     Thanks for the reply! I took a look into several things after reading your reply. Firstly it's new to me that the sound for NC-capable headphones to be actually worse when the NC function is not activated. I would've thought the NC circuitry when turned on would affect the...

Hi, new here and accidentally started a new thread until I saw this thread  I'm considering which new headphones to get and am in the preliminary stage of deciding (deciding whether to get NC or non-NC). I purchased my first pair of 'expensive' headphones around 3 years ago, the AKG K28NC which...

Quote:   Thanks for the reply. I have considered IEMs and have put that idea aside as I have a pair of Harmon Kardon 720s which I understand are considered to be IEMs. (http://www.head-fi.org/products/harman-kardon-720-noise-isolating-earphones-black) The feeling of them when placed into...

Hi all, new here but have been searching/reading a few older threads on noise cancelling headphones and the 490NC here already. Many seem to have greats words about the 490NC though I've also read somewhere that they're offloading the 490NC for the newer Sony 1RNC.   I have an AKG K28NC (pic...
