No you can't damage them playing like that.

Yes, that is too much to ask, they're clearly **** at that side of their customer relations. PHONE THEM!

Monitors are exactly that, a tool designed specifically to provide professionals and musicians with the most accurate and detailed reproduction of what they're playing/mixing/editing/mastering. These are designed as monitors, akin to ATC/PMC/BBC (etc.) speakers. Not purely consumer products...

I don't know what all the fuss is about, the standard tips which are identical to the CX300 medium tips, work brilliantly for me. Seal is not all important with these phones, unless you're hugely bothered about isolation. But these don't pretend to be the best phones for isolation, they're...

Quote: Originally Posted by Usama Alex A, you forgot the CX6. Althought, I would bet that they are similar to IE6 but with more isolation...Hopefully. Yup. I never found the CX6 listed until I had already ordered the IE6. I probably would have gone with the CX had I known I...

Ahh Well to be fair my personal experience of the 595 was some time ago and in conjunction with the whole of the HD range when I used to work at an outlet. I seem to remember it having rather a full sound, though I could be mistaken. All I can say is that for IEMs, the IE6 certainly kick...

I know it's an international call, but they're not all that expensive these days. I've bought a couple of things from AMP3 and a quick telephone call has immediately ironed out any issues I've had with purchases, including the IE8. I never received any response over e-mail. Your queries...

Anyone from the UK wanting a pair, they're now back in stock at Macro Warehouse at £167.94 + P&P. http://www.microwarehouse.co.uk/cata...9?cidp=Froogle

You can't. They upped the price a week or so ago. £170 was 20% off the old price.

Thanks for the responses guys. Why that shop? If it's warranty issues I won't be in the UK from March anyway so after sales is not an issue. The 120GB is available from £185, which is worthwhile saving. Zal, the 30GB ipod was apparently a lot better than the classic. It's the new...

Despite using a Grado SR325i/X-LPS rig, my real musical passion has always been with loudspeakers and not headphones. However, I'm about to embark on a 2 year trip to NZ and so portable/earphones is the only way to go. I was never a fan of the ipod (having used Sony portables for the past 3-4...
