Thanks for the suggestions.   What can be said for the Headstage Arrow 12HE 4G? It has a slim design which really appeals to me and auto-off would great because I alway forget to turn things off.

My current lousy FiiO E5 has after 1 year given up so I'm looking for a new portable headphone amp and I was hoping someone here may be able to give me some advice on what to buy and where to buy from. There doesn't seem to be a huge range of portable headphone amps available in NZ so I am happy...

Yeah I'm after closed because I'll be using them while commuting (walking, bus). What is the difference between the K271mkII and the K272? Only problem with the 271mkII and the K272 is that the price is a bit over what I'd like to spend.

Nothing?

Hi All! First Post! I'm currently in the market for some new headphones and after doing a whole bunch of searching through Head-Fi and google I'm 60% sure I want a pair of AKG's. The problem is the pair that suits my needs and price range is the K 172 HD and I just can't find any decent...
