Thanks for all your help Holland, and thanks to you all =) One final question for those who may be in a position to compare... ATH-M50 or DT 770pro 80 Ohms?

It would be nice to have closed headphones to prevent leakage when I am on a train / bus, standing in queue for something etc so as not to infuriate other people, otherwise I would likely go for Grado 80s based on what I have read, despite their somewhat retro appearance. If I did away for...

I've been doing a bit of research and come across the CMoy portable amps, which seem to be at a reasonable price and claim to power headphones better, increase potential volume, and perhaps up sound quality (see links below). Does anybody have any knowledge or experience for this product...

Hello again, been doing a little research. I've come across CMoy based portable amp units for sale at what I would consider to be a reasonable price (for links see bottom). From what I have read, they will power headphones much more easily, provide more potential volume, and perhaps bring...

Well, the carrying of batterys isnt too much hassle, they are supposed to last in the region of 50 hours according to the sales literature, but if the sound is negatively impacted without them then I would sway towards the M50s. If I were to get a portable amp such as the Voyager (link below)...

Title and a half! I have done a bit of research and am hoping that somebody may be able to recommend one of these sets of 'phones over the other... or recommend something at same price point that performs significantly better if I have managed to pick 3 turds! They are all closed, and the...

Hello A question for anybody that knows what is good at UK prices ^_^ I am looking at upgrading my headphones as the Sony MDR-V500s that I have (and that have lasted me for years) now have peely ear cushions. I've between £75 and £100 to spend on a wired solution, on or over the ear...
