Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll take a look at the Hifiman Ananda Stealth, Beyerdynamic DT900 Pro X and Sennheiser 560S. I was also looking at Hifiman Edition XS, however I do play FPS games so does that rules out planars in general? My soundcard is an old X-fi Titanium which works well...

I loved the sound so anything similar would be great. I felt the bass was a little weak so wouldn't mind something with a bit more (I wonder if my soundcard is the fault here), but loved how they sounded in general. If I could buy them again I would! Open headphones like the HP200 would be...

7 years ago I posted asking for a recommendation for gaming/music headphones, and was recommended the Soundmagic HP200 which I absolutely loved! They were great for gaming, the soundstage felt wide and positional audio was accurate. I felt the bass was on the lower end, but the mids and highs...

Thank you!

Did you end up finding any good replacements? Mine are cracking like mad now too.

Thanks for the recommendation, they look like they are a good set of headphones. Yes I have the older non-HD X-fi Titanium, I've been thinking of upgrading later as a better headset will be a big improvement over what I have, unless my card isn't cut out for driving these headphones or I should...

I feel stupid as I've been living under a cave. I have an X-fi Titanium PCIE and I've been playing games with a Medusa 5.1 gaming headset for the past few years as I was less bothered with sound quality and more with directional sound, but I never really looked into how good CMSS-3D was. My...

Any update on the availability of the E80S in the UK? I can't find them anywhere!

  I would prefer them, I would make use of the mic and the button especially.

Is there a timeline for when the E80S will be available in the UK? I'm not bothered about which colour.

Ah cool, that makes sense about 4-pin compatibility, thanks for clearing that up. I've read a few reviews on the NE-7Ms and one does mention that since the cables are quite stiff, there is no "rubbing" sound coming through from the earphones which sounds good. Hmm these look better and better...

Strange, I can't find them on Amazon except for on the US site, mind sending a link? Also, since these have an integrated mic, is there a converter so it's compatible with the normal 3-pin connector?

Ok so I've found the Sennheiser CX500s for an amazingly low £33 at dabs.com dabs.com - Sennheiser CX500 In-ear Earphones - Black (500938) Since these are usually out of my league wrt price, should I jump on this? Would they meet all of my requirements, or at least more so than others in...

Around £40 but I'm quite flexible for something that's really great and is built solidly.

Since my Rockboxed H10 got stolen...ok I left it in a lecture theatre :/...along with my headphones I've been looking for replacements for both. I used to use Creative EP630s which broke, and got replaced with Sharp FX33s (I used the EP630 tips instead of the Sharp marshmallow ones, and they...
