    Bowers and Wilkins PX7 for the larger head?

    I have quite a large head. Not wide, but oval shaped and quite tall. This unfortunately means that the B&W Px5’s that I used to own were a little too small. Even at the most extended, if I had the earcups on my ears, I couldn’t have the headband on the top of my head. This is a shame as they...

    Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, Momentum 2 or wireless?

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I really want over ear rather than on ear headphones.

    Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, Momentum 2 or wireless?

    I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD 660S headphones that I am very pleased with. However, their are times where I could do with a reasonably price pair of closed headphones, ideally without the need for a headphone amplifier (although I do have a Dragonfly Black and an Ifi Zen DAC I can...

    Please help me start all over again

    I'm hoping someone can help me start again and get me back into headphone listening.   It's been a while since I've haunted these pages and to be honest, I lost interest in headphones etc for quite a while. I have been using a set of Klipsch Image X10 in-ear phones with my iPod Touch...

    How would you rate the Sony MZ-R 909 MD

    Here you go. It's not a net MD unit - they tend to be "MZ-N". It does have an optical in. Nice sturdy unit with a good sound

    Something a little upmarket???

    A lot of DAPs are made of plastic. What if you want something made of metal? Stainless steel, aluminium or something of that ilk. Perhaps something sturdy that is almost hewn from granite. Maybe something shiny? A Beosound 2 or 6 maybe? Something a little upmarket? So, your thoughts...

    Review - Klipsch X10 vs Shure SE310

    Isn’t it typical? I buy myself some Shure SE310s and a week later, I’m in HMV and they’re selling Klipsch Image X10s for £99.99. My better half decided to treat me to a pair on the basis that if I didn’t like them, I could always sell them. So, it’s shoot out time: the Shure 310s that cost me...

    Shure SE310 - A Personal Review

    To cut to the chase, go to Listening Background Having been given a 64GB iPod Touch for Christmas, I wanted some new IEMs to use with it. Having heard on Head-Fi that the headphone output on the Touch sounded different to the 120GB iPod Classic I was used to, I decided to see how my...

    Ultimate Ears Superfi 5

    Hi all Saw this picture last night and was impressed how nice (read sleek and shiny) these look. The question is, what do they sound like? Does anyone have any idea? How are they for clarity, bass, treble etc? How would they compare to the SE310? Thanks
