Quote: Thanks for your advice everyone! I did a bit more research and eventually plumped for the Tridents. The build quality and UK stock were the winners! @kcfc, or anyone else, got advice on what tips to use.. or are the stock ones fine?  

Good shout mate! Haven't seen them mentioned a lot on here but they do look good! From what I've seen some people have reservations about the build quality but I guess you can't have everything for £30!   Sympathy for the devil is one of my favourite stones tracks.. absolutely love that...

Hey guys! I know there's lots of threads like this but I'm hoping you can find me an IEM suited to me for my tight budget!   I listen to everything but classical and jazz. My favourite band is the rolling stones. I also listen to a fair bit of modern pop and hip-hop, modern and 90s dance...

Thanks everyone - you've been great and all of your help is really appreciated. I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that I've narrowed my choice down to the following three cans: Sennheiser HD555 Sony SA1000 Audio Technica A500 I have also come to the conclusion that asking people which...

...but yes, this is yet another please tell me what to buy thread. Firstly, please don't get all smart and tell me I should have used the search function. Because believe me, I have however I require a rather more personalised recommendation, hence this thread. Here's a bit of information...

I'm not sure whether I should be this posting here or in the for sale forums but I figured more people would see it here! Anyway, I have found a great deal on what appears to be the new Flavour of the month, the Sennheiser HD201 over at Empire direct ! Seen as though I've just been on a...

From what I've read, the following cans should also be taken into consideration: AKG K240S Beyerdynamic DT440 Audio Technica A500 RoosterDude

Both these look so sweet! - Though the 5EB at $200 appeals more! It says they're more suitable for Rock and trance too! I'm sure this will mean the start of a lot of "E4c Vs 5Pro/EB - help me decide" threads! I am personally more taken to the UE's as the design looks better, they come...

I would have to recommend the MS1s for all but US residents (where the grados are reasonably priced). The MS1s with there $99shipped pricetag are very good value for a tweaked SR125/SR80? (OT - Has this argument been resolved?) Also, even if you do get taxed, it will still come to less...

I seem to be able to get the DT440s a lot cheaper than the HD555s here in the UK. Whereas, in the US, it's a totally different story! Even at that german store, they sell the senns a lot more than the beyers. They both german brands too! Oh btw, just ordered my A500. Should be ordering...

Thats one hell of a deal on the DT440s! Cheers BrokenEnglish! I know a little german! and the website has a surprising amount of english so I should be able to navigate it. But thanx, I'll call upon you if I decide to get them and have any trouble! Beyerdynamic is a german company so that...

Sorry, I forgot to mention! They must ship worldwide - Im in UK!
