Afternoon    Looking for a replacement for my cheap, but decent SoundMagic P21s   Basically, I'd buy these again if the headband weren't so prone to breaking. Stupid design with cheap plastic    Otherwise, for my relatively uncultured ears, I enjoyed the sound of them and they were comfy...

Just wanted to say thanks a million to the OP for such a great post   Was worried about the fit prior to reading this, and am now delighted with it   Will also do the padding mod over the weekend   So helpful, thanks again, very much appreciated  

Evening   Need some new headphones, closed back isolating as mainly used when commuting   I listen to loud guitar based music almost exclusively, for 2 hours per day roughly   Budget is £150   From reading around here, it seems to be fairly close between the HD25's and the AKG...

Having the same issue also, replied to a different thread so apologies for posting again, but this one is more specific to my problem! Ta

How many posts do I have to have before I can have a signature? I've read loads on how to add or edit, but I don't seem to have that option!   I get this message:     The rest of your profile, and your signature will become visible after you've been active in the forums   I...

  I'm sorry to do this, I've just read through about 467 threads that all helped in one way or another so I promise that I'm not just being lazy!   I'm upgrading my headphone collection, and have ordered some Phiaton PS320s for everyday use, and now have approx $80 to spend on upgrading my...

Boom boom!

There have been other things, notably the Phiaton PS320's I ordered last night, but the latest, and in fact the most significant thing was this. Feel free to abuse me for being sappy.........!  

  Quote: That sealed it for me mate   Quote:   Yep, seems to be the general consensus. Such a shame! Given that literally everything besides aesthetics is amazing. I'm in the process of building a recording studio at home, VERY early stages though, and I am absolutely gonna...

Hey Akio   Thanks very much for this, most helpful   Wish I could sample both as you said, alas I shall just take the plunge   I don't think I'm young nor cool enough to pull off the red headband thing, and I mainly listen to punk rock type music, so it's the PS320's I think  ...

Just checked them, plus discussing on another thread. Chap in London just had the very cans delivered and says they're far too big for every day commuting use. Must admit, looking at pictures etc they do look too large to me also   Shame though, cos all reports have them as impeccable...

Hi mate   Cheers for that, but I already started a new thread. 2 in fact! Maybe they just weren't very good :)   I'll post more!   Quote:

  Quote: Nice! Good so far. You're comfortable wearing them out in public then presumably?   I'm hovering over the 'Buy' button.......

Quote: Umm, care to share? :)

Ok, I feel as silly as the chap that originally posted this, but it has to be done! How long to be active / how many posts do I need before I can get a signature?   I don't see the "edit signature text" bit, but more importantly I have a message saying:     The rest of your...

A mate of mine has the Grado SR60i and I could actually hear what he was listening to, albeit in a quiet room   Bennyboy, how you getting on with those Senns mate?

Quote: Hehe, there is that! I was actually considering the ones without the red trim, PS320, not MS300 as I stated above. Although I wasn't entirely sure what the differences between the two models were, except for the colour and the fact that the PS320 has dual drivers. Yet they're cheaper?

Benny, always used CX500's, mind you that was prior to joining this place!    Cheers James, looks to be the way to go. Phiaton's are soooo pretty though

Yep, tried all that! Non transferable, and the cheap so and so's that work out of our US office won't offer anywhere near enough for it!   Still, will use our work FedEx account, so no shipping. Nice  

Sorry mate, just to clarify, it's these you've ordered? :   http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-25-1-II-Professional-Headphone/dp/B000W8XRKK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1279551706&sr=1-1

Newbie so far, kind of nervous about learning too much! Fine for me, not sure the girlfriend or wallet will approve though...........   Cheers for that though mate, sounds almost identical to me. When out and about, have always been an IEM man meself too, although nothing quite so high end...

Been said a million times before, but one more can't hurt :D   Just like to say this is absolutely brilliant, many thanks for going to so much trouble to put all this together Cheers
