I'm looking for a pair of closed, large headphones that is more like my CD-MDR3000 than my AKG71DJ, great soundstage, mids and bass for movies. How are the Philips headphones? I was offered a deal recently for a pair of SHP8900 for £30 brand new (usual prices are £60 which are overpriced...

Ha, just another sucker saying "I belong somewhere". I saved so much money with PCs, that I used the rest for worthy stuff like hobbies, holidays etc. Apple can't come close to any desktops or laptops for performance but too many people continue to be turned on by marketing. You do know...

Thanks guys. My phones are still under warranty but probably not for long as I got it in 2006. ATH ES7? I remembered that one, its ok but not as good as the AKG in my opinion. Meloncoly, thanks for that. I'm not familiar with cabling or altering my phones as I'm not a modder though I am...

Any ideas guys? I really need some help to replace the cables.

My AKGs are great except I accidentally overextended the wires when I tripped over it. I would like to know what's a good replacement cable and plug for it as I've seen a couple of people doing it to their AKGs. I'm not looking at high end stuff, just something to replace the old ones...

Congrats on the Sonys. I still have the ones that I bought back in 2004 and had hardly used it (sitting pretty somewhere as a collector's item). My preferred headphone of choice is the AKG 518DJ :-D

Geez madman, I'd call 10 hours driving dedication! Surely you must like the beaches at Sentosa? I don't know if DrHead can compare with $1000 amps, but for its size it is bloody impressive considering the features that it has.

Hi guys/gals, I just bought the mentioned portable amp (made in Korea) in a hope to get something more out of my music and boy what a difference it makes. It is by no mean a heavy weight, but I do notice quite a bit of changes especially in the bass and mids. I love the fact that its portable...

I got the AT-CK5, the build quality was good, the cables were hidden but the sound was not what I was looking for (not enough bass). Now I got the Cresyn 630 and its ok. I want something better badly!!! I am going to buy this MP3 player ...

I'm not having much luck with my Crsyn 630. It sounds...cheap. I'm not active audiophile like a lot of people here are, but I can tell the difference between something that's reasonable to something that's great (like MD-33). But then, I didn't think much of the Westone UM1(?). You get...
