    Upgrading from B&W P7 - thoughts/recommendations?

    Am looking to upgrade from my current pair of B&W P7 & Sennheiser HD 590 & wondered what you could recommend. Part of me wants to own a pair AKGs as I have never tried a pair of their headphones, But ideally I would want some recommendations for easy to drive (I usually listen through an...

    Sennheiser PX 100 replacement pads

    The foam pads on these headphones have become very thin and are now becoming uncomfortable to wear. Last week in the Apple store I tried on a pair of Bose QuietComfort 3 headphones for 5 minutes and was impressed at how my ears sank into the ear pads, they seemed very comfortable...

    B&W P5 - recommended for long listening periods?

    Am going to try these out sometime this week and if they impress me could be a purchase later on this month (payday). Anyway I am just wondering what kind of listening periods you guys/girls use them for? And do you have to have a break due to discomfort? I usually listen to headphones for...

    More sugary pop/rap like Jay-Z's "Momma Loves Me"

    Been listening to Jay-Z's Bluprint album a lot lately (after a 3 year lay off) and keep on coming back to this song.     Am looking for recommendations of any artists with a similar kind of style, I particularly the poppy sounding loop that starts @ 45 secs.  When I say "sugary" I mean...

    Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues

    Read a review in the newspaper on Friday which gave it 5/5 and was close to booking concert tickets & was planning on immediately going out and buying the cd, until I heard it on Spotify. After listening to it once all the way through today I must say I am a bit disappointed. After the 1st...

    Aloe Blacc

    The album came out in 2010.  Well worth checking out, I'm a sucker for Motowny style stuff and this is right up my alley. "Hey there brother" & "Femme fatale" are my favourite tracks on the album at the moment.     This song is NOT on this album!

    Full sounding music with great backing vocals

    Been listening to a lot of Motown lately and for me the thing that gets me excited about most of their songs are their completeness and wholeness as a package.   They seem to be full with sound and from listening to other types/styles of music this has really highlighted it to me. So...

    Speaker Pillows

    Often I listen to podcasts before going to sleep and many times I wake up a couple of hours later with my headphones wrapped around my face/neck.   I'm not expecting wonderful sound quality and 80% of the time I will be using them for spoken podcasts.   Just wondered if anyone had tried...

    References to songs within songs

    My question is does this make a song any better?   This came about while listening to Bruce Springsteens “Thunder Road”. Lyrics = “Roy Orbison singing For The Lonely”   Which instantly reminded me of Mariah Careys “We Belong Together” Lyrics = “Bobby Womacks on the radio saying to me...

    Critics top 100 black music albums of all time

    An oldie (2003) but might get some discussions going. Surprising to see "off the wall" above "thriller", not sure if outkast @ No. 80 should be there with that album. Definitely not their best imo. TREVORNELSON.COM :: TOP 100
