    Buying sennheiser/ beyerdynamic online (US delivery)

    Hi- a friend is visiting US next week and I wouldn't mind buying HD25/ DT1350 online and get them delivered to his hotel (cheaper than having to buy in Singapore). Which is the best online retailer to buy from? Don't want to get stuck with a fake piece, and almost no chance of returning /...

    HD25/ DT1350: Environment Noise

    Airplane was just an example- similar situations occur during bus commute, workplace etc.

    HD25/ DT1350: Environment Noise

    The ones I tested definitely had leakage. Went with a friend and we focused on this. Wondering now if they were fakes

    HD25/ DT1350: Environment Noise

    Hi- I have been meaning to buy a closed portable headphone for some time now. Was looking at HD25 and DT1350, but noticed that the audio output is audible outside the headphone. So on a flight, if i am listening to these, the person sitting next to me would surely be able to hear what I am...

    Help me decide: Sennheiser HD25 or Beyer DT1350?

    Help me decide: Sennheiser HD25 or Beyer DT1350?

    Went down to the store and tried these (and some more). Realized that I am not looking for the open headphones. Since I travel fair bit, HD25 and DT1350 seem to be the right names. I will use them to watch movies and listen to music (no specific genre preferences, except not heavy metal stuff)...

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    I'm Indian, so a lot of what I listen to is Bollywood music. In English music, I mostly listen to artists I grew up with (am in my 30s now)- so the likes of Eagles, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, Staind, Sinatra. I actually looked at my music folder to answer this question, I think its more around songs...
