    I love my Denon C751's

    This is a fairly pointless post. Anyway, I got my Denon's over a year and a half ago now and while I did have to return a pair due to a faulty cable, I feel they are exceedingly good. For a mere forty pounds more than apple buds, I truly feel I have a brilliant pair of earphones that (obviously)...

    Sorry to do this..an upgrade from the Denon C710?

    I really do enjoy my C710's, I have had them for a year and they have been fantastic companions to my iPod, but I feel like I am craving for something more; more punch, more clarity, more accuracy. While I love the 'fun-ness' of the C710's sometimes my music becomes muffled, mainly because I...

    USA/UK Pricing on headphone amps.

    I am interested in buying a portable amp, the Nuforce IM to be precise, however to buy it here in the UK the cheapest I can find it for is £114.99 or $188.86. To get to my question I was just wondering if anyone that owns one actually thinks it is worth that amount of money? Thanks very much

    Are custom sleeves really worth the money?

    I have a pair of Denon C751's and I was simply wondering if the £90 it would cost me to get the moulds done would actually make a significant difference to the comfort of the earphones and obviously the sound quality also? If not I think I will purchase some IE8's but thats a lot of money for a...

    What IEM's are most similar, sound quality wise, to HD25's ?

    The best headphones I have heard are probably HD25-1's (not II's) so I was just wondering what IEM's the HD25's sound most similar to in sound quality? Only asking because if they are on pair with upper tier IEM's then I won't bother upgrading my IEM's.

    As much as it pains me to say, I have been transformed to a speaker user

    Yesterday I heard my friends Logitech 2.1 speakers. I believe they were 'X-240s.' When I heard them I was very surprised at the sound that was produced despite they're £30 price on Amazon. So that day I went into my local town to look for a pair of speakers that I could use when not using...

    Does music ever make you get a little...'emotional?'

    I don't mean to sound like a bit of a weird one but I was just listening to 'The Wind Cries Mary' by Jimi Hendrix and reading about his life and it made me a little upset, it even brought a small tear to my eye; purely because someone who can make such beautiful, spine tingling music died at...

    UE Triple Fi. 10 Dropped Off the Face of the Earth?

    I was just thinking, the UE TF10 was regarded so highly amongst IEM users and enthusiasts however since the release of IEM's such as Phonak's PFE, Senn's IE8 and the Westone 3 nobody seems to be mentioning the TF10. Now I know the IE8, W3 and TF10 are more in the same league than the PFE yet it...

    Should one always listen to a pair of headphones before upgrading purchasing more equipment I.E Amp/DAC?

    I was not sure whether to post this in the Amplifier section or here so I thought I would post it in the forum that was viewed most Basically for me to know and other headphone 'n00bs' out there should one always purchase headphones and listen to them unamped or without the use of an...

    Current exchange rates and ordering from overseas.

    So due to the current drop in exchange rates (specifically GBP-USD) I am not sure whether to order an amplifier. I am looking into the Firestone Audio Cute Beyond series, now I know they are not really 'full size' but they're not portable either. But I was just wondering if paying £136 is too...

    General headphone ignorance

    So today I am sitting in science with my friend sitting next to me and he pretends to spray my iPod with water (with my earphones connected) so I then remove the earphones and leave my iPod where it was. He asks 'why did you unplug your earphones' so I proceed to tell him that my earphones are...

    Would AD700's be suitable for the amp and dock I plan to buy?

    What headphones are still very good un-amped?

    Im not sure if anyone know what I mean, but I want a new pair of headphones but I do not really have the kind of money for the kind of amplifiers available in England. So getting to my question, what are the most well rounded pair of headphones that do not need amping? Thanks, Jake

    I have a question about some of my dads 15-20 year old equipment.

    Since I have taken a rather large interest in audio equipment, I too took an interest in my fathers Hif-Fi. (which he has had since before I was born) I was just wondering if anyone had heard of Cyrus Audio? Because he has an amp and a power supply for the amp and they look fairly descent...

    Sorry for the usual question. Will I benefit from an amp?

    I am currently using a first gen iPod Touch or a MacBook along with Sennheiser HD485's or Denon C751's. I foolishly payed full RRP for the Sennheiser's as, at the time I bought them when I was 14 and did not realise how much cheaper headphones were online. Because of this I was just wondering...

    IE8 ear hooks.

    Basically, I have a pair of Denon C751's and wear them over my ears. However I don't want the cable to wear away when it rubs against the top of my ear. So, finally getting to my point does anyone know if you can buy spare ear hooks like the ones on IE8's?

    Got new earphones today but dislike the tips...

    Today I received a pair of Denon C751's, they have come with soft silicone tips but I don't really like how they feel in my ear. Would a pair of Comply foams be any better or maybe someone has another suggestion. Thanks in advance

    Custom earphone brands in the UK?

    I was just wondering if there were any custom earphone manufacturers in the UK? I am quite interested in getting a pair of customs in a year or so and was just wondering if I would have to send off molds to the US or if I could just send them to a company in the UK.

    What kind of sound do you enjoy when using earphones?

    I know a 'Junior Head-Fi'er' doesn't usually create this type of thread, but I was just wondering what kind of sound people enjoy when using their IEM's? It's just out of curiosity to be honest.
