Soundmagic HP150/HP151 Impressions Thread
Just got the HM5 Velour pads, there is no way these fit on my HP200's. How did you get them on the 150's?- benjitb

Soundmagic HP150/HP151 Impressions Thread
Hi all, i have an HP200. I'm trying to get some velour pads to replace the stocks, I am hoping the 100/150/200 are the same size (100x100mm). Can anyone recommend some options? I have been told the Shure HPAEC1540 alacantra work but theyre about £50, far too much. I see some are trying...- benjitb

REVIEW: SoundMagic HP200
Those are very long pieces, I could watch 2 films for the legnth of the last 2! I listened to the first one from my phone (PC sounds horrible) and tried another live outdoor one, i would say the bass in classical is rarely prominent and the same is so for the hall of the mountain king, the...- benjitb

Penon was securely packaged and delivery was fast, much faster than some HP's i ordered from China 1 week prior, they arrived 2 weeks after the dolphins. On the website you can adjust the currency to E/£/$ etc.- benjitb

REVIEW: SoundMagic HP200
I saw that but was wondering if anyone had tried any others and what make. The Shure HPAEC1540 are expensive, close to £50, thats just unreasonable. The bass is good, i don't like a strong overpowering bass though. I don't listern to EDM, send me a link to somthing you like and i'll give...- benjitb

My £20 portable music player testing flac & 192/320 shows clear differences, but the tidal test from my computer using Soundmagic HP200 was hopeless. RE: Cambridge Azur 540A; Cambridge are a solid make, but as amps go it's still considered "budget". In the grand scheme of things so is my AVR...- benjitb

No It's not lossless, if you pay for the premium service the best is 320 kbps. I suspect using your Cambridge Azur 540A - Integrated/pre-amp was the reason for getting 5/5. http://www.qobuz.com/ https://www.deezer.com/ https://tidalhifi.com/ These are other lossless streaming services.- benjitb

AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!
Hi all, i just remembered I said i'd post impressions on the 612's. My AVR didn't seem to do them justice and the cost/array of an amp that would, combined with other headphones rearing their head led to their return. I'll be interested in trying them with a good amp though. Thanks to everyone...- benjitb

Sennheiser Momentum M2 vs Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) P7
I really like the sound of the P7's and did not like the original momentums (not heard M2). I like the open Soundmagic HP200, so if you liked the HP150's we may have similar tastes, if so I would advise the P7's. No, those soundmagics are really not for walking around. My walkaround's are...- benjitb

Hi matt, just looked at your inventory, snap! I've some QED Silver Anniversay cable too, using them for my BX2's. RE: The ebay cable you recommended, have you compared it to similar designed silver plated ? I'm wondering if its worth the double the price.- benjitb

Thought I'd chime in here with all this Tidal talk. Anyone else taken the "Tidal High Fidelity" Test? http://test.tidalhifi.com/ I did horribly from my laptop with it's awful soundcard, I used good headphones so felt suitably sheepish.- benjitb
