Hi all,   My brother is after some headphones to use with his ipod and I have not kept up to date with the headphone market over the last few years so was hoping for some advice.   The budget would be a maximum of £300 and top priority would be:   1) Capable of being driven by ipod...

I would say it's worth visiting Tottenham Court Road - full of electronics - I haggled for mine and got it brand new for £170 about 2 years back   best of luck!

thanks guys - but I was hoping for a lot broader advice    1) a rough price guide to what you think the components will cost (something that would be the equivalent of a good price-performance ratio - like I said I only have an IE7 to offer as a comparison which I consider to have be not too...

Hi guys,   I've recently developed an urge to get a vinyl setup - there just seems to be something quite special about listening to a LP compared to your standard mp3 PC setup. However, I know next to nothing about such setups as I have never had any sort of hifi system myself - old man has...

your question has been endlessly debated and often brings about heated arguments - your best bet is to simply do some blind testing yourself - put a few pair of songs on your ipod (lossless and vbr) then see if you can honestly distinguish between them - then decide if there is an audible...

nice review - personally I prefer the sound signature of the IE8s but due to the lack of isolation compared to triple flange W3s - the W3s win for portable use

...very cruel Jajo - especially when the JH-Elite series are coming out 

it's a bit late but the superfi 5's were on offer on play.com for £35 which is a very good price imo    but you should be aware that they are in-ears and UE (manufacturere) IEMs do have an issue with fitting for some people but these are a new design and should be less intrusive   I...

The IE8's are also available at a very low price of £135

I also purchased the ACS customs for the W3s after getting somewhat annoyed with the sibilance issues using the default tips that come attached to the W3s. I would say that I personally found the added benefits of this particular investment to be near minimal - the only real detail I noticed was...

ground shipping is free to US customers but they've indicated they will take $10 off international shipping charges so $65 for the rest of the world

thanks for the headsup timmy it appears another person recommended the same people in the audiologist thread I've spoken to handheld audio about their deal and I don't believe it offers real value for money - although we're hardly in a position to talk about that if we're considering...

Hi all, I don't know how many of you are thinking about taking up the JHAudio black Wednesday offer - but I was hoping to clarify a few points: 1) What shipping costs are involved (apart from me sending them my impressions from the UK? 2) What have UK buyers been stung with in terms of...

hey all, I just spoke to Handheld Audio and it seems that they have not heard anything about this from JHAudio and will most likely NOT be running a similar promotion

hockeyb213 could you please clarify this Black Wednesday thing for us non-US buyers? I guess you mean 9-11am Central Time...?

Just to echo the sentiments of Honeyboy - I currently own the W3s and have owned the IE8s - they are both top class IEMs but offer very different approaches to presenting music. The W3s epitomise the BA class of IEMs - that is to say details speed and isolation thrown in with tight impactful...

Personally I don't think that music_4321 meant to be patronising or condescending to youngsters. In all fairness his general advice is quite valid, younger people are more likely to be less experienced with the various gears being talked about. We've lived a shorter period of time so chances are...

I have heard both and from your description of what you're after I would vote for the IE8s. This is because of the rather numberous complaints about the treble on the W3s which you say you are sensitive to. The only con about the IE8s for me was the lack of isolation, if that isn't too much of a...

welcome to purgatory - hope you grew your finger nails in preparation

hey guys - not sure if this question has been asked before, if so I apologise. But is the cable similar to the standard UE cable? I found that the cable went a bit rigid after a month of use or so - but then again I'm become accustomed to Westone cables^^ Also how heavy and thick is the cable...

hey guys! Hoping to draw on the vast pool of knowledge that lurks here. But I'm considering buying a second hand bike as my current one could be described as an anagram of the word "hits". Unfortunately I don't have much money nor know-how as to bike brands but was wondering if you any of...

@ sceptre - glad to see you're enjoying the JH13s, was just wondering if you could let the rest of us UK Headfiers know the total damage including ear impressions and customs? cheers

lol - I meant a Japanese [Hair Stylist] - its a bit finnicky as I'm Chinese it seems that western stylists just can't cut my hair right - this is speaking from experience. Anyway in case you're interested bloodsugar - there is a HK stylist by the arch in Chinatown - its £18 for students - I...

Ok so the title says it all really - does any one know if there are any Japanese or Chinese hair stylists in Liverpool? A phone number and rough location would be amazing!
