Price 3990 SEK (~450 USD)(same as my earlier post from webhallen), with a (specifically stated) unconfirmed delivery date of 12th of September. This price includes Swedish VAT (25%), so US equivalent price would be roughly $360 w/o VAT. Specs you might find interesting (taken from Komplett)...

Looks like the release is in august based on this swedish shopping site, webhallen is quite large in Sweden so it's likely that this is correct: https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/317745-Philips-Fidelio-X3-tradbundna-over-ear-horlurar-med-oppen-baksida-Svart Price: 4000 SEK, currently that is...

Thanks for the recommendation, but based on reviews it's quite creaky in terms of construction, and quite tight on the head. I would rather spend a bit more and get something with a more solid and comfy build, anything you can recommend for that?

Hi, My pair of Fidelio X2 have unfortunately started to break (ear cushions are falling to pieces, glued stuck as far as I can tell and thus can't easily be replaced), and therefore I figure this might be a good opportunity for me to upgrade a bit. I've been very happy with the fit and sound...

Afraid the Fidelio are about a $100 out of budget in europe, otherwise they seemed like they would have been very interesting. I'm definitely gonna see if I can find somewhere to try out the 990's though, they might be interesting, as long as the bass isn't to overpowering.   Thanks!  ...

Hi, I'm currently considering getting a new headset which will be used for gaming, movies and music(mostly stuff from the monstercat channel). The headset will be used for up to 15 hours a day (I am a programming student), and as such have to be very comfortable. My head is relatively small, I...

I'm afraid I have not been able to try any of the products you mentioned, other than some of the CX line-up (which didn't even come close to the sound quality of the nitro, nor the same feeling of quality), and I did consider the S4, but I decided against them after reading some reviews. In...

Just thought I'd give you an update with my thoughts sofar (I'm comparing to Sennheiser Momentum and Denon AH 560R): -More base heavy than the Momentum, but still very clear in terms of sound (I listen to mostly EDM using the S3 if that helps) -Cable noise isn't brilliant, but leagues ahead of...

Just thought I'd let you know I've purchased the Nitro's and after letting them burn in (according to how the manual recommends: 4 hours on, 2 hours off, 2 hours on and then 2 hours off and then you're apparently good to go), I can say that they seem pretty good, I might do a quick review after...

Doesn't look like it's the same if you compare the specs, the frequency response for OM is 20Hz-20kHz whilst the supra are 16Hz-22kHz, and the supra have a 9mm driver whilst the OM have a 10mm driver.

My old pair of Denon AH-C560R inears have given up on me, so I was thinking about getting a proper pair of sport in-ears this time. I'm currently looking at the Sennheiser CX 685, so I was wondering if someone had any experience with them, and what alternatives there are in roughly the same...

I am considering upgrading my stationary rig from my current setup (Razer Megalodon), since now that I have upgraded my mobile rig I do not want a lesser sounding stationary rig. Sadly I do not have room for a internal sound card,therefore I have decided upon getting the ASUS Xonar U7 USB sound...

Quote: I can find it for around $110(CHF) where I live, which I'm ok with, but are there any other options in the same price range?  And how do USB-soundcards compare to PCI-soundcards?

Quote: Thank you, I looked at it and noticed the Xonar U7 USB instead, but I couldn't find a lot of reviews for it. The U7 looks to me like it is a little better in general, or am I wrong?

Hi!   A few days ago I invested in the Sennheiser Momentum, mostly for mobile use. I would however like to hear if it's possible to use a USB-soundcard (I don't have any available PCI slots) to simulate 7.1 sound for them, so that I can replace my razer megalodon(the elements on them are...

Quote: Thanks for the tip, on my stationary I game mostly though, so I'm probably going to invest in something a bit more powerful there so that I can simulate 7.1 whilst gaming.

I just purchased the Sennheiser Momentums, and whilst I'm no audiophile (nor do I have much to compare with), I can already tell that they're a big step up from my Megalodons and my Denon.   Thank you for all of the recommendations and the tips, my next step will probably be looking into a...

Quote: Where can you get them for 150?   I'm probably going to go with the Momentum, but I'm going to see if I can find a store to try them first so that they fit me. In terms of value for money, the momentum are the most expensive otherwise so in terms of value for money, that would...

Quote: I had a look at them, and whilst they seem good I can't find anywhere I can go try them sadly (I live in Switzerland), and I'm a bit weary of spending $300 without at least trying them on for size and comfort, but thanks for the suggestion!

Quote: I'll see what I can find here, I usually prefer to buy original when I buy tech for warranty reasons (plus there are few things that beat opening the package for the first time :D )   *Edit* Had a look around, doesn't look like there's anyone within reasonable prices once the...

Quote: I think the akg looks a bit bulky, but that might just be me. How about the K551, aren't they similar, except there's a shorter cable on the K551? As for the E17, do you mean this one? It's sadly a bit more expensive here, it costs about $160-170 (I live in Switzerland).

Quote: Ok, I think I'll probably go with the Momentum simply because of the shorter cord that are included (3m is a bit long to carry around), but I'll try to find a store around where I can compare the 2 to directly. Quote: Ah ok, I must have misread, I thought it was active NC, my...

Quote: The Sennheiser HD 380 pro look interesting, but (from what I've heard) doesn't noise canceling usually come at the expense of audio quality?   On a slight side note, would (either the sennheiser momentum or the hd 380) outperform my razer megalodon, using my onboard audio...

Hi!   I am currently looking for a pair of headphones for my S3/ ASUS UX31A. I am currently looking at the Sennheiser Momentum (over-ear), I was wondering what the alternatives are in the same price range ($350 max). I am currently using the Denon AH-C560R in-ear. My main use for it will be...
