I Paid £130 for the model with the mic from the UK and it was definitely worth the investment. I'm loving them.

If they included a right angled adapter, and aeroplane adapter it would be a nice addition but I'm not really fussed

I really can't decide which filter I prefer but I am thinking the greys. Feels more absorbing for my music. I just listened to an Amy Winehouse track at about a 320 bit rate and it just blows my old phones. Personally I couldn't care less if the others are marginally better. For the price gap in...

Well the Shure SE210's with the olives isolated more than the Comply's, but they give more pressure so you know you have them in. I'm assuming they isolate the same as the SE530's (I could never get the silicones to fit as well so just stuck with olives, and isolation is amazing). Not sure about...

Ok thanks. So people mean actually the tearing of the mesh or cracking of the casing I'm assuming? Yeah they are definitely fragile so requires some care. I am not having problems with the pop in extractor for the filters but I worry every time. Just to note the other sets of filters are pretty...

When people talk about the filters breaking do they mean literally breaking or warping? I have just swapped over and back again and looking at my greys they are a bit warped on he mesh film ie they are now convex. Has anyone noticed this? Should it cause any problem?

Thanks for the info on the adapter. I received mine today (Phonak with the mic). I use it with the iphone 3G and it is really very good. Very comfortable, good isolation. Good sound quality (I have not had a chance yet to compare it with my previous phones but will try later) but it is very...

Does anyone know where I can get a quality right angle adapter for the 3.5mm jack of the Phonak? Preferably in the UK

Well I ordered a pair of the black Phonaks with the microphone for next day delivery. If anyone wants to know where they can order them in the UK let me know and I can tell you the various distributors. Not in London for another week. Couldn't wait.

Well lets hope it will push the other companies to improve on their designs and prices. The PFE appears from peoples experiences to have no microphonics, a cable that let us hope will not split like the SE530 will, good isolation unlike many find with the IE8, and a price of over 3 times less...

Thanks, I saw that but I want to wait for the model with the built in mic as I use it with an iphone. Yes I might give amps a look. Out of interest is there any advantage of the Image X-10's over the Phonak apart from the cool design?

Thanks a lot. Yeah I called a distributor in the west end and they told me they didn't even know Phonak made headphones so I gathered they were pretty new. I will be counting down the days.

Thanks for the input. I'm now considering the Phonak Audeo PFE with microphone, although I can't find anywhere in the UK where it is currently sold. If anyone knows of a store or website please let me know (I have emailed Phonak to find out). It appears the Phonak is the perfect set of phones...

Hi guys. I was previously set on the SE530s but since I have had problems with the cables on the 210s I have decided it is probably not a sensible option when shelling out so much. I am interested in the IE8's because of their removable cables, however I am reading about a lot about problems...

Hi and thanks for the great replies. Sorry to repeat another almost identical post... I had missed it.

Hi people. I am now on my second pair of Shure 210s after the first pairs wires cracked. They are of course not the greatest phones but do the job better than the bog standard apple headphones I had, and I use an iphone so use them in conjunction with the Shure attachment with the push to talk...
