    Got a pair of 320's and they're OK. looking for a sensible upgrade ... without spending out for the likes of Alessandro MS-1i. Denon's come up at reasonable price, but are the 340 in the same league as my (broken) AH-D1001 & AH-D1100's?

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    So after nearly 9 years of hard use the cable on my Bose OE headphones has started to die. I'm sure someone here could re-cable it, but the headphones as a whole are looking very tired. I'm looking for a semi portable replacement, any suggestions? I was looking at the Yamaha HPH-PRO300...

    My HD650's have been sitting on the sideline for months and my six months rule (if i haven't used them for six months they go) has come into effect. I jsut wondered if the Alessandro MS-2's will be a step up form the HD650 or more of a side step?   I have to say looking at the portable...

    Any AKG Studio headphones problems

    I've just been on the AKG forum, and when it came to the Studio headphones (which I'm now looking at) most of the threads were about problems, which worries me a bit. Any problems to report? Shall I ditch the K--1 series and go with the K--2 series instead as they come with a fixed cable. I...

    hideous headphone bling

    I was looking through ebay (as you do) and i found these Sennheiser HD25-1's. I know I’m pretty shallow when it comes to thinking that design might also be a consideration for buying, but I like to think i have a morsel of taste as well.

    SR325i vs HD650

    I've just got my 325i's and i'm not sure what to make of them. On first impressions they seem very one dimensional. speed and clarity is O.K. at best, but that seems to be about it. My HD650's offer far more richness and depth than the 325i's. Am I listening to them with the wrong view point or...

    £150 for a HD650 mod. what would you do?

    O.K. So I’ve got around £200 really. I had my ear on the DT990's but it seems that some find the sound fatiguing, and like many said, maybe I've been seduced by the highs. I found the sound staging to be more detailed than the HD's. ... basically I liked the DT's. Away from that, if you...

    £150 difference between the DT990 Pro & DT990?

    O.k. i've had a go on the search, and i'm non the wiser on why the DT990 headphones are nearly/over £100 more than the DT990 .. which i enjoyed. Story Spent a bit of time with the DT990 (old version), and I was very, very impressed. However, with all the threads on Darth Beyers, i was...

    Ultrasone Zino vs. Ultrasone iCans vs. Nuforce UF30 ... and I am NOT amused!

    So I got my Zino's and Nuforce headphones. I have to say that at first a spat quite a bit of bile at the Nuforce, and for the most part it seems to be unjustified. In brief, the Zino's I don't think the Zino's are much of a replacement for the iCans which are now available from...
