    Search for excellent noise isolation, passive or active

    Nevermind, pulled the trigger on a pair of QC20i. On the paper it fills the needs. I'll see if it's also the case IRL. Heck, maybe I'll even do a review on them, I so love these topics where I am the only one answering...

    Search for excellent noise isolation, passive or active

    Shameless bump, but not only: I forgot to mention that I'm wearing glasses, which might be a concern when deciding between IEM/QC20 or over-ear closed headphones.   I won't wait too much before hitting the buy button, I'm quite in a hurry here, and I think that the safest choice for me would...

    Hi there dear community,   It's been a while since last time I went here and I'm really in need for good advises on this difficult question: how can I get rid of my super annoying, uber loud, painfully hyperactive coworker. I don't mean physically, this is not quite legal and you'll have to...

    Quote: Now that's a very good website ! I can't believe the prices, especially considering amazon was always very competitive ! Regarding the dac/amps you use, you've lost me on that, I'm not yet ready, too noob :)   Thanks for the tip ! I will definitely consider buying there, since...

    Quote: I've just read some reviews on it, seems very good for the price. I'll start with the DT770 alone and see (hear !) how it sounds on my macbook which seems to already have a very good output. If I feel the need for more oomph, I'll definitely give the fiio e10 a try. Thanks !

    Perfect ! Thanks for the precious info.   I think I'll go with the DT770. This should save me some bucks, and maybe perhaps later on, add a dedicated device to get the most out of it.   Best regards.

    Quote: Thanks ! I've added Amazon.fr's prices for information. I bet you must be astonished by the differences... (NB: 1 € = 1.27 $).  Anyway, this means I'm now down to these models to stay within my budget:   - Beyer DT770 PRO 80ohm    150 euros - AudioTechnica A700X        ...
