@Shinoke Sorry I just realised my order was actually fulfilled by Amazon but sold by a company called 'Huppins', I believe that if you order them as 'Fulfilled by Amazon' you still use Amazon's own customer service though so the experience is as close as you'll get to buying from Amazon...

That's very unusual. I had absolutely no issue ordering my pair from Amazon.com directly. I just signed in with my US account and the site said "Ships to UK" so i went ahead and ordered, it was definitely by Amazon as well and not a third party seller. I can't think what might have happened...

I'm living in the UK and have ordered the Symphony 1s from the US. It is costly but worth it I'd say. Regarding returns, I've not returned my Symphony 1s but have bought stuff from Amazon US before and have needed to return it. If you just message the customer service guys when you make your...

I was actually just coming back here to ask how you'd dealt with the headband. Thanks a lot. I'll be sure to report back when the headphones arrive.

I think I'd probably prefer a circumaural pair of headphones, I don't find on ears very comfortable unfortunately. I didn't notice Giogio's amendment to his semi-closed comment, thanks. Still, from the comments back on the previous page it sounds like the ATH WS99BT even modified with the HM5...

I saw the ATH WS99BT mods earlier on but was wondering about whether or not they'd fit even modified. I'm perfectly willing to modify the ear pads to get a great pair of headphones but was also a little worried about the sound isolation with the semi-closed design. In any case, if it helps with...

Hey all, I'm in the market right now for some new Bluetooth headphones and I've recently bought two from variously reading around the Head-Fi forums, the Parrot Zik 2.0 and the Plantronics Backbeat Pro (as recommended in this thread). However, I've unfortunately ended up sending both back...
