Wow I don't think I've seen any Shures in India, good luck getting these, and if you do, please tell me where!

Not to mention the spellings!

Are we sure this isn't some 13 year old kid fooling around? I cannot imagine an adult talking such unbelievable crap, and falling in every hole you guys set up for him!

Nice to see this forum on the front page, since i JUST pulled the trigger on a pair of Ath A500s, and these are gonne by my FIRST REAL headphones. Ohhh plss i hope i dont feel the same way ...

From what I've read around these parts, Noise cancellings 'phones aren't much recommended. Instead go for a closed can, something like an AKG K81DJ which retails for around $70 or an Audio Technica A500 if you could up your budget to $100 or so.

These A130s certainly look interesting ... hoping to read more impressions soon. The 2 customer reviews on Amazon didnt seem to be very positive - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...lance&n=172282 For a newbie, would these be a decent introduction to quality headphones?

Did u try different sources ... just to see if theres any difference? (sorry im not much help i know)

That was a hilarious joke!

yea i know i gotta decide .. but im a transfer student .. and i dunno if UoT has accepted me ..just waiting to hear from em ... York deadline is June 12th right?

hey I think I got some decent suggestions for you ... how about a Philips HP460, a Sony Eggo (D22 is within your range i think) or a Sennheiser Eh150? They seem to be mentioned fairly often around these parts ...

Mmm ... might be attending York or UoT this coming fall ... still thinking about it ..

Dude ... are u for real? And if so, you think you can tell us any pricing details, as well as if there's a future for ur mp3 players?

If the Koss product description of the UR40s is to be believed, "with its hybrid design, the UR40 combines the best of closed-style and open-style headphones". http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/p?openform&pc^fs^UR40

I'm sorta new to Ebay, but shipping charges are $10 or $20 for this particular item? I think its $20, which doesnt make it cheaper anymore ...
