Yep, starts when i push them in and stop when I let go as well. Thanks for link, will check them out although I've had the same experience as you so far, the phones seem to sound the same and don't actually seem to be damaged. As for what I think of them.. I haven't had them all that...

Bought a pair of these while on holiday, (couldnt resist, all that talk of this massive bass got me curious!) and when I insert them into my ears I hear a sort of crisp-packet crackling sound.. Is this normal and are the drivers getting damaged at all? I live in the UK so not sure if there...

Hi guys, Basically looking for a earphone/IEM version of the Koss PortaPro's. I've been reading up a few reviews on the Sennheiser CX300, Panasonic HJE70, Sony EX90, Moda Vibe/Bass Freq etc but haven't really been able to decide yet. The Koss 'phones have enough bass for me to never have...

Ouch lol. Suppose I could borrow them from blockbusters first

I'll definitely get Splinter Cell and one of the MGS2's. Tough call between MGS's now :P £10 for SOL (2nd hand) or £32.99 for new Substance. Might have to toss a coin Nah.. I'll have to get Substance. I couldnt live with just SOL knowing that theres basically a better version in substance...

Was reading that review, nanahachi and it appears that substance is just SOL except its got some more additions to it? I thought that they were two completely different games! Hm is it worth getting substance for the new stuff?

andrzejpw: yeah thats what i heard, especially substance. kinda off-putting really. and a few of the ps2 magazines here in the uk have rated substance pretty poorly compared to SOL..

Damn forgot to add a poll! Can I add a poll after I posted?

Ok I want to get one of these games asap. Which one first tho? And no Im not going to buy all three.. yet

oops theres been some confusion i think. if i was to copy cd->md then yeh id use the sonica and connect to either my md deck or mz-r50. (in fact the stereo i have now has a digital out for md) i meant that with a digital out on the davs550 processor (which im not buying anymore for reasons...

Quote: Originally posted by Oliver They do not want you to make digital copys anyway Of course they do! Why do u think MDP and MD decks are sold I mean just making copies of music CDs for portable use btw.

It took me ages to locate a rear view and I only came across it by accident. Lucky I paused for that second! The lack of a digital OUT slightly put me off as I wouldnt be able to record to Minidisc which cant be good

Trawlerman: I'm in Reading, Berkshire so quite far away Thanks for the offer tho And I was just wondering.. this may sound stupid but just curious. I have a Plextor CD-RW drive. I know this obviously wouldnt be anywhere near as good as a dedicated full size CDP but what would the sound be...

Thanks for ALL the replies guys, you've been a great help. I've decided not to get the Sony DAVS550, simply because I am thinking of quality. I think its time I upgraded my hifi.. no, my stereo to a better system. It seems the DAVS550 does not have such a high fidelity sound (I didnt expect it...

Yeah only £350 and thats multi-region as well. Without, its only £300 Anyway, been doing some heavy research on the internet and it seems that if i dont get a LCD screen with the correct inputs I would need a converter box to convert the signal from the davs550 (either component or svideo i...

Yeah, I can get the davs550 for 350GBP (547USD) so it seems a cheap and easy solution. I was wondering whether many people have had experience with this system and could post it here. If the sound quality is good then I'd definitely buy it. If not... ill look around at other systems or maybe...

Thanks for the reply aeberbach. I looked at that monitor and while it seems very nice its a bit expensive for me! I take it not too many people are into home cinema? Or am i being impatient Any more comments would be appreciated!

Im considering buying one of those "all-in-one" home cinema systems but wanted some general feedback about them. Are they just not worth the money (ie buy separates instead)? I (think i) know(!) that separates will generally thrash any all-in-one player but theres the hassle of buying...

Damn.. and i thought sony would have made the best quality MD's Maybe it depends on what type you buy? The premium MDs probably last longer and are more durable?

heres a link for a review on the yp30s, which has 64mb of onboard memory: http://www.hardwareseeker.com/products/Samsung_YP30S/ (or rather thats a link to a page with links to reviews :P) and another: http://www.zdnet.com/supercenter/sto...553042,00.html now this player is truly...

Hi all! Anyone have anything to say on this unit? Seems quite good to me. Very small, 128mb memory (enough memory for me), and apparently good sound quality. Battery life is a bit on the short side but that doesnt worry me too much. So does anyone own one of these units? Any good?

damn thats a tough choice! best of both worlds i say, so i chose the last one

http://www.vickers-hifi.co.uk Try here Ray, they sell the 125's for £125. I think this is the cheapest place I have seen Grados for online available to the UK.... and god knows i've been searching for hours upon hours PS - Go to product links and then click on Grado (obviously :P) They...

found you lot at last! its been weird starting up my browser and then not automatically going to the headwize forums anyway on with some headphone issues: i got my mum to phone my aunt in hong kong to buy and send over some 888's. cant wait! they will be mainly for my MD. Just had a quick...
