Quote: I tend to agree that they might well be 'the ones' to try and get. I love their looks too.   As I type, E-bay UK has No 5ks for sale and two pairs of 7k's at £600 BIN or £359 with 4 days to go...   So, alas, I think they're going to be out of price range.

Hi all, need some serious help here...   Some may remember an old thread of mine with the voting between 4x cans and which will I choose etc? Ok, so here's the situation and the issue in a medium sized nutshell...   Looking for Closed Back (was not before, but now fairly important) Over...

Probably a quick and easy one... (sorry if already posted)   Are there direct equivalent model numbers for Fosgate compared to Denon?   i.e.   Denon AH-D2000 = Fostex ? Denon AH-D5000 = Fostex ? Denon AH-D7000 = Fostex ?   ???

So, without being able to directly compare the phones I wanted to side-by-side in the stores, I have had no choice but to order my shortlist of 4x and do the test at home...   Looking for: Comfy, fairly neutral hinting towards slightly warm, over-ear, open or closed, certainly not bass...
