Is there still room? I know I'd like to go and I have another friend who might be interested too.

It looks like the Phonaks have won. Before I buy a couple of pairs to compare can I confirm that the iems in the poll are suitable for my music tastes, if not which other pairs should I check.

Hmmm, that's an idea. Return policy, I did this with hifiheadphones.com, but my Mum loved the ATH AD700's so much she bought them off me!   I might give that a go!

Interesting to hear you have so many pairs, I assume you can only use one pair at a time, unless you are unfortunately mutated :), so what you do you do with the others? By the way I may invest in building a portable cmoy amp.

Bumptastic! Any opinions before I just go and buy some. I did happen to hear a friend's Sound Magic PL50s today. They were clear, but I found them lacking in bass. However this was a limited test since I don't think I had a good seal with his foam tips and it was only the music on the new...

Anybody? I still can't make up my mind.

A bump a day keeps the doctor away!

Uh, no. I've never heard of the Meelec's. The lower end Soundmagic PL11's and PL30's are highly rated I believe. I solely based my list on what came the highest for the sound rating in my budget bracket on the second headfi link. In addition I felt like spending a bit more on these as long as...

Ok, I know there is a million threads about things like this, but I really can't decide due to my music tests being so, well, varied.    I am looking at some iems around £80 which due to the UK market getting screwed by taxes, you can assume to be $80. At the moment I have a pair of...

Yeah, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get the AD700's. The sound card I want is the Essence ST not the STX because of the ability to use multi channel speakers without a separate decoder. Some shops have it just in, yet I have been unable to find any reviews, at the moment I'm assuming...

still open for opinions...

right, thank you, sorry for being so eager. I can't afford a decent amp on top of a sound card. I have heard lots of recommendations for the AD 700's for gaming, some people say the beyers are better, but they are £100 out of my budget. At £79-99 I can't beat the ATH's. Unless anyone can...

bump, surely someone else can help!

Oh btw I'm tying to avoid closed backs.

will the headphone amp on the essence card power the K601
