Denon AH-P372 £16.99 at play.com 

I've found that thinner pads (px100 may work) can reduce the pressure between the driver and the headband. I can wear mine twice as long now compared to new - due to wearing them in, and I'm using the stock pads, but the most I can take is an hour.   

Spent half an hour listening to these just now, got them at an airport a couple of years ago. From my VDAC- WA6 they sound muddy with boomy bass, but it seems to depend on the song. Some songs sound really good considering they cost about £10. I'm more impressed with them from my home setup than...

Just stumbled across this http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/support/firstimpressions/ while looking at M50s, seems very interesting. Looks to be UK only...

The Ultrasone PRO900 at about 250GBP seems like a good deal too. http://www.lookat.com/en/music/ultrasone-pro900-closed-back-pro-headphones

What about tape modding your 225s?

I tried them out in a local hifi shop for half an hour using my x1060 walkman, comparing to my hd25s. I listened to a range of music; Master of puppets DCC remaster, Chris Rea, Dire Straits. I found the P5s quite treble focussed, and especially with Metallica's Battery, pretty harsh. Apart from...

I should be getting a pair soon (little matter of a volcano keeping them grounded) but I found (and google translated) this review: Forum GenerationMP3 > Audio Technica ATH-ES10 Seems very positive: (driven from an s9) 'The soundstage, separation of instruments and rendering the texture of...

Just bought some ES10s, hope they match my Denons (P372) for isolation, thats my minimum for travel. Should be here in a few days, looking forward to it (any more impressions welcome too .

Are the HD25s better sounding with the stock steel cable than the P5s? Is this because the senns isolate more (allowing you to hear more detail in noisy environments) or because they simply sound better in any environment? Also, how do the two compare for comfort? How long can each be worn...

I've asked a few local dealers about them, so far I've heard mid April - May for the UK (I was told B+W are waiting to get a bulk shipment together).

I've noticed this before, when I had my 780s (among others). I think its the hair/skin that gets compressed, so it feels like a groove has been created. I wouldn't worry about it.

Personally, I wouldn't be considering the P5 if I didn't need isolation on my commute (never been happy with iem's comfort). Headphones like ESW9/10 would be fine if I didnt have to contend with train noise and street noise all the way to uni but unfortunatly this isn't the case. It always seems...

New review on apple's website: Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Headphones - Apple Store (U.K.) Seems good, though no word on isolation.

Just stuff I've read reviews on/ tried out, may be worth a look: Senn PX200 II, ATH M50, Denon ah-p372, Shure SRH 440.

Looks like they're shipping already on the apple store uk. 249.99.

Another option - keep your mp3 player and get some jh13/16s?

I liked the esw9 but it was too delicate (build wise) for me. I have heard the es10 is better built and scales well with an amp.

Audio Technica es10?

Wonder if my x1060 would power them properly, amping from the headphone out seems a bit redundant..

Could be the bright version, these have been in the shop for a couple of years.

Just got a pair today (again :P) and I really like them. Treble and bass are a bit exaggerated (I've eq'ed the treble/ upper mids down a bit). Mine are the black + silver cup/black pad version, and though I havent heard the grey pad version, these seem quite bright. I would agree they are a...

You should try on some hd280s or srh840s, now they're ugly :P Isolation wise would be tough to find anything better. AT M50s sound better though. Beyer dt250s perhaps?
