Good review. I own a pair and absolutely love them - I use them with a Beresford Caiman DAC (with built in headphone amp) and a Logitech Squeezebox Classic.

I own the Beyerdynamic DTX101's and I have really enjoyed them. Build quality is generally very good up to a point where the glue in the housings just gives up and I've had both earbuds come apart as I have removed them from my ears. A dab of superglue fixed the problem. The current pair are...

I absolutely love mine! Since the birth of my son about a year ago, loud listening sessions are rare, so heaphone listening is the way I enjoy music at home now. I have my DT880's hooked up to my Squeezebox Classic and Beresford Caiman DAC/Heaphone Amp. I always discover something new in my...

Whilst the SoundMagic's are very good, I still have the urge to go for something a bit more special. I've seen the Westone 2 IEMs and wondered what people's opinions are. I've read some excellent reviews, but I'm just a bit concerned that with them being BAs they won't produce enough bass. I...

Why would you want to do that? Lion is great. A new iMac will come preinstalled with Lion, or possibly Mountain Lion if you purchase in July, but I think Snow Leopard was sold as a DVD (as opposed to an App store purchase that Lion was), so if you can get hold of a copy and then overwrite...

Well, the Soundmagics arrived today and I have to say I'm very impressed. After trying out several different tips, I went back to the ones they were shipped with. Good sound isolation, nice deep (but not overpowering bass), clear mids and dare I say it, better highs than my Beyerdynamics...

Based on the recommendations, I read a few reviews and wasn't convinced by the Shures. I've bought a pair in the past (5 star rated by WHF and lots of buyer reviews) but didn't like them. I didn't want to spend a lot of money to only end up with a sound I wasn't totally happy with, so in the...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the Shures seem popular. I once bought a pair of the SE115's based on a WHF 5* rating and other very favourable comments. However, I didn't get on well with the fittings - nothing seemed to give me a firm and secure fit, so without that, I found the sound...

I currently own a pair of Beyerdynamic DTX101's which I use on my daily train commute as well as in the office. I really like their sound, their noise isolation abilities and the fact that they don't leak sound. This week, when removing the right earbud, I felt the plastic part that holds the...

I use a banana stand (the sort for storing actual bananas!). I think I got that tip from someone on here!

I have a pair of DT880's and love them, although with the velvet ear pieces, you might find your ears getting too warm again. Having said that, they are extremely comfortable and they produce a great sound - I like listening to electronic music and I find the 880's produce just the right...

I've just checked the offer and they are £77.98 - the deal is £15 off the VAT price - and the offer runs until May 20th.

Costco have these on offer over the next couple of weeks. They normally sell them for around £100, but I think they are down to around £75. Sorry to be vague, but I think that's quite a good price for them.

It's sounds like the hard drive is failing. Mine won't allow me to add individual tracks. If I try, it just hangs and when I unplug it, there appears to be no music on it. I then have to do a full resynch. I took it to an Apple Store who said it is about £95 to replace the drive. I decided...

Thanks for all the suggestions but I don't have the time (due to a new born baby) to pursue this any further. Amazon clearly didn't want to know. In the end I've had a new 16GB Nano as my Christmas present. In fact I bought 3 - 1 for me, 1 for my wife and 1 for her mum. The Classic still...
