£63 is about $126, use XE.com - The World's Favorite Currency and Foreign Exchange Site for a more precise total. £63 is generally the shipped price to england though, are you sure you did it right?

Probably not............I'll check with them for conformation of actual cost to my door.
I thought I did everything correctly....But I do make mistakes....

do these isolate well enough to travel by airplane(as in other people can't hear what you're listening to)? and are they small enough to walk around in without looking ridiculous?

Will any 3.5 mini-to-3.5 mini interconnect work on Dr 150 or is the end that plugs into the headphone different?

I'm looking to purchase a short but flexible cable for my zune and I don't really want to ruin the long one that comes with it.

I've been looking through Head-Fi's Sponsors but I don't know about the correct connector at the HP.

It's a standard 3.5 jack at the headphone.

The Docs are open 'phones and won't do you much good on an airplane.

I just checked my CC and it shows:

HIFICABLES.CO.UK $135.68

So,,,,I guess they are having a sale or I'm gonna get backdoored on the 'import tax', I really don't know how that works though????

Hmmm, this is really tempting!

Are there any ex-MS1 owners and current DR-150 owners that want to convince me to switch?

LoL. I was a 325i and SR80 owner ...does that count ?

The only drawback of the Goldrings is that you will not be able to reclaim its full or close value of what you paid for them new if you decide to resell it here on Head-Fi or eBay, since most people will pay and buy the more well known names. Thats all that really the disadvantage of them now.
