OK, I managed to get the Shures shipped off yesterday just in the nick of time (thanks to a mad car dash from my dad
) I'm still trying to decide between the headphones though.
I've whittled it down to seven now:
I'm quite tempted by the Denons now after reading up more on it, but I'm still drawn towards the Urbanears, even though not much is known about it.
Actually, I am probably going to end up going for one of the full-size headphones again, so I'll take out the canalphones (and the Sennheiser PMX 200), so that narrows it down to just two:
The Denons definitely look like the best all-rounder of the three. From the reviews I've read, the sound quality is good, I think it looks alright, but it looks even better in white (which, thankfully, is also on the site there, but for a few quid less).
I had a bad experience with my first Denons (the AH-C360s), but they're canalphones, so it's a completely different ballpark. I'm a bit concerned though about the "creaking" from the headphones, as Dangermouse2003 mentioned in Seidhepriest's review. The other concern is that Seidhepriest had to make quite a couple of significant modifications just to get them sounding really good.
Now, it's tricky to decide on the Urbanears. They definitely have style on their side (they come in a wide range of colours), and they look clean and simple. The addition of a microphone and remote for mobile phones is also a bonus, and even the "zound plug", which is basically a splitter built into the headphones, but it's a nice feature. They're also a lot newer than the Denons. I don't know the exact release date of the Denons, but I've found reviews for them dating back as early as July 2008, whereas Urbanears only launched their headphones range last month.
I think after much deliberation, I am going to go for.........................
the Urbanears Plattan.
When the Shures get back to iHeadphones and they email me, I'll be choosing them (I just need to decide what colour to pick now!
), and I'll post my experience with them after I've used them for a little while.
Thanks for your help, everyone.
Sorry if I've disappointed some of you.
