I have heard ue, shure and westone. Westone's phones produce the least cord noise during normal usage. Thus, though both shure's and westone's are very comfortable, fact reveals that westone's cord is better than a lot of other brands. Therefore, you should have no worries about cord and its noise.

I am thinking to buy a pair of headphones and use it when i go out to streets. I heard that grado's phones can drive with mp3 player well due to its low impedance. Personally I own ultrasone 750, senn 595 and 600. 750 seems too heavy; 595 is 'too open' and it can disturb others around me...

Does any custom 3 user know how to solve the serious noise caused by the friction of the wire during listening (especially I wear glasses)? It's very annoying and inconvenient while I bring it out.

Since westone 3 is once again delayed, I determine to buy other headphones. (So far I have no IEMs to use because I broke my um1 a few months ago) I have tried se530 and UE10 but they are not my tastes. I am now considering to buy either custom 3 or um2. Did any one hear both of them before...

I have PL750 and LD2++ and feel it quite good. The sound becomes much warmer and more crystalized than it is while unamped. However, due to the high clarity of PL750, it usually reveals distortion caused by the amp but it is hardly noticeable. Probably buying a better tube amp or changing...

Has anyone tried custom 3 in UK? I heard that it is available in UK already!! Any review?

Hi all I need your help!!!! Recently I have bought one little dot II ++ and found that there was some background noise (quite loud). Is it a normal condition? If not, how can I fix it? I read the manual and it says if my headphones have high sensitivity (currently I have Ultrasone 750 and...

Welcome to being an Ultrasone fans...

I just got my new pair of PL750s yesterday and own HD595. After hours of listening, I found that PL750s are very accurate, detailed, bassy and cold phones, whereas HD595s are a pair of warm, laid-back and airy phones. If you are looking for a pair which sound warm and musical, I think HD595s...

HD595 can sound well without amp...

I just got a new pair of Ultrasone today and my initial impression is that it's totally not musical. However, I really like its accuracy and I now deeply believe that it's good for recording as mentioned in other reviews...So far I don't hate it.

HD595

I am also a guy who sticks with such a similar problem: wanna get a pair of phones unamped. Since I own HD595 already, I hope to upgrade to another phones. However, due to budget problem (have to save money to buy Westone 3 or Klipcsh custom 3), I could only afford to buy headphones...

If you have a good amp, I suggest you to buy K701...amazing!

Thanks all for the suggestions raised...I think I really should turn my head to buying an amp first... Currently I own Ibasso T1. However, when I find that it is not magnetically shielded, it is entirely a crap. (I can clearly hear the distortion loudly when my mobile is in the left pocket of...

Hello all I am really tired of thinking what to buy and now hope anyone can give some suggestions... Having owned HD595 for a year, I need to upgrade to a new pair of headphones which require no amps...(due to certain reasons I am not about to buy an amp now) My preference is clear, accurate...

Hi may anyone tell me if 2500s could be driven without using amps? I am considering to buy a pair of phones which don't require an amp...(I just can't buy an amp for certain reasons)

Yeah I wanted to buy a tube amp but I am still studying oversea (UK)...therefore I am worried if I would break the amp during the time I move... Anyway I will buy one once I get back to Hong Kong... Another main problem is that I did not bring my HD595 when I got back UK!!!(too many things...

Hello I am planning to get a new pair of headphones and wanna get some insightful opinion from you guys. Personally I have bought a pair of HD595 a year ago and I feel it very enjoyable. Now I want to get another pair of headphones which are better than my HD595, if my budget allows. My...

Hello all can anyone tell me where to buy SR325i in UK?

Hi all, Can anyone of you here tell where to buy a pair of MS1 in UK? I am thinking to buy a pair between sr60, sr80, sr125 and MS1; however, I just can't find any local store selling MS1 on the web....

I understand that announcement of deferral of products is a good marketing strategy which holds buyers' desire in buying other products/alternatives...but it seems that a year deferral is too ridiculous...

An extremely muddy pair of headphones that I have ever heard......the sound is not accurate enough and the strong bass closely overwrite all the mids and highs...not worth of $80 However, it looks fine...I would only pay $20 to buy a pair and that's it.
