    Advice on headphones for travel/work use

    Hi there Stephen Welcome to the headphone forum! I think this is a no brainer. I think you will need noise cancelling, so go with the Bose ® QuietComfort ® 15. An alternative is the Sennheiser Momemtum for non noice cancellation.

    Sennheiser MX500 replacements

    Hi Geoffrey. It looks like only the MX 471 has the in-line volume control. I found it (and pictures) on amazon uk website. That's also useful for reviews too from buyers. Just type in "Sennheiser MX" in the website search. It might be worth trying IEMs again - I find it is the buds that make...

    when it all just clicks into place

    That's the best laugh I've had in ages! Do the cables relax and give a better sound at night too?

    snobs

    Twaddle. Envy? I'm not envious of anything, merely stating a "potential' case for some people on here. Note the word 'probably', there's a clue there and I''m entitled to post what I like without your say so or flaming dear boy. I'm also very happy with my system and couldn't give a toss about...

    snobs

    +1. Well said. They''e also probably constantly unhappy with their own overpriced system they keep tweaking and are therefore jealous that you are content with yours. I've noticed some nasty comments on here too. Anyone who disagrees with them gets argued against and they all gang up.

    Replacement / upgrade cable for AKG potrables

    I only know of this one which you might have seen on the internet (no experience of it): http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3796 I don't think the stock one is that bad to be honest.

    Headphones and DAC on a budget

    I would just buy the AKGs and try them without a DAC. I think you might be pleasantly surprised and potentially save £150! My only word of caution is that they are meant for portability, so you might be better off with more of a 'home' headphone. What kind of music is it for?

    SoundMagic E10 and E30

    Hi there, and welcome. The point of the over ear design is to secure them, so I think they will actually help with isolation. Also consider the PL30s. Hope this helps.

    Help needed with buying a mediocre pair of headphones :D

    Can you demo them? I'm not sure if these are for you if you're not into bass. If you do want these, then the D321 is 249g and the D401 is 308g. May I suggest the AKG450 if you don't need a mic for £40 or the K451/2 for £50 with a mic? Is it for portable use only or home use too?
