Or perhaps someone could comment on the reliability of MP4nation.

Can anyone tell me what happens if I purchase these from MP4Nation and the earphones develop a fault? I am based in the UK. Or as an alternative, are these for sale anywhere in the UK at present? I have looked but haven't been able to find anywhere. I am particularly concerned as, so far...

HMV Meadowhall didn't receive some for me. Had to take a refund instead.

From HMV? No.

Mine are faulty. Crackling sound on bassy-notes in the left ear. Gonna have to take them back.

Because HMV are having a sale on them? Still £230 at Amazon UK last I checked. Anyway I managed to get a family member to pick up a set of X10s from Meadowhall (Sheffield) for £99. If anyone is in the region, there were 3 sets there at lunch today. Great deal. Now to see if I prefer...

Any store that has them in stock. Saw it on HotUKDeals. I got mine from Meadowhall in Sheffield!

Wow... I just found out HMV are selling Klipsch Image X10 in-store only for £99. Also X5 for £79! Gonna have to go for the X10s for that price.

Why don't they do this in the UK?!

I see, thanks for the replies. I thought that might be the case with the UE700s. They do look nice though! I think I quite like the Image X5s, X10s and the UE700s due to their size. I would take a look at the Image X10s, but they are around £250+ and that is out of my price range.

Thanks for the feedback here. Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. I do like the look of the IE8, however there are a couple of things putting me off; first of all - the price, whilst cheaper than elsewhere in the world still seems quite a lot to me; the second thing is the size...

Out of stock. I would love to try these out but the UK prices are just insane.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Looking at the prices though, it would require a significant quality difference for me to drop an extra £100 or so on the W3s over the IE8s. Are there any others worth considering? From what I can tell the aforementioned three, along with perhaps the UE Triple.Fi...

I'm thinking about upgrading my Denon C710 earphones in a couple of months, but wanted to allow plenty of time for research & my indecisiveness. What would be a good next step up? Bearing in mind I listen to a lot of dance & electronic music, and really rather like the Denon sound signature...

FAO: UK buyers. C710s from AMP3.com for £89 using this code: Quote: C710NL

I'll give it a go tonight & test some Bjork tracks. I'm using the Cowon S9 (can't remember if I said already in this thread) so EQing isn't a problem.

EDIT: Nevermind, found them.

Do you know of a UK site that stocks them, preferably in white (I have the white C710s)? I checked the Sony site and found them but there doesn't seem to be an option to purchase. Thanks again.

Sounds good to me. Will be perfect for my girlfriend who can't always tell the difference between one speaker and the next. Although she did say "they're good aren't they?" after listening to Animal Collective's "My Girls" on my C710s.

I've only heard both sets of Denons mentioned in the thread and as both are within your price range the C710 is much better than the C551. The C710 has really great bass to me. I can't offer any more detailed thoughts but I can't see how you'd be disappointed with the C710.

Looking for a nice but not too expensive earphone for my girlfriend to go with her new iPhone 3GS and I reckon these would be perfect! £23 as well. Bargain. Wait, is the S2 the same as the Image X1? Edit - nvm I see the X1 is the newer and cheaper model. Sweet.

Yeah they are £85, I think. Seems much cheaper than everywhere else. Although, after looking into it further, I don't think I'd like them as much as my C710s. I'm going to give the adapter a shot and perhaps try some of the other tips. As I said it really doesn't come into effect unless I'm...

What's the point of that then?
