Hey everyone!   Looking for some decent earphones/ IEMs to listen with whilst at school doing work. I've had some HD600s for a few years now thanks to suggestions on here (and I've been very pleased with them indeed!) but they by their nature don't block out external noise or prevent sound...

Ok, the Compass looks perfect for my needs - one thing though; I can't find a price for it!! edit: I just noticed AudioPhewl that your from Blighty too - which site did you order yours off because the shipping is a bit pricey on their own site...

Hello all! I'm looking for a headphone amp/dac to connect to both my PC and my tape out of my Arcam amp (which is, in turn, connected to an Arcam CD73T spinner and a Thorens black plastic player). If there are any valve-based designs, that would be a bonus, because I love the look and don't (and...

Well, if I'm honest here, I listened to the HD650s in the middle of the Bristol Hi-Fi show...and being open backed and not noise-cancelling, I wasn't giving them their best chance to shine! What I could tell though, was that they were a bit boring - maybe it was the Rotel CD player they were...

Just checked out the PX100s, they seem like just what she would want and at a very good price! If I could get a pair of Grado SR60s though for under £40, I certainly would do so! I have a pair and I find them fabulous...sadly, I've got a bad case of the upgrades at the mo, so big, wooden...

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of buying some headphones for myself (most likely the Denon AH-D5000) but I would like to buy some new headphones for my sister's iPOD Touch. They need to be comfortable and fit a fairly small head and they need to be under £40 (and not the iGrados as...

Okay, thankyou very much - I'll demo the Stax if I can, but in the U.K, Stax dealers are few and far between. As an alternative, should I try the Denon AH-D5000s? I like what people say about the "full sound" and "rich sound" they provide - would they suit? As for a headphone amp, I think I may...

I'm pretty certain I'm going to go for the Denon...however, in the UK, the Denon headphone dealers are few and far betweeen and I don't know if I can test before I buy! Would they would sound better than my current SR60s?

Hello everyone, I'm new here, so please be kind! lol. I want to buy some new headphones for christams, but I havn't made my mind up on which models. I've currently got some Grado SR60s which are outstanding in every respect (bar comfort perhaps!) and I got them at the start of this year from...
