    Meze 99 Classics - Review

    Hey Dale! I hope you're well, It's been a while. We still share a lot of thoughts about headphones I see :). I didn't have long with the P7, not long enough to review them. If I had them for longer it's quite likely I would formed a similar opinion, but it seems they've been discontinued now...

    Meze 99 Classics - Review

    It's been a while since I posted here because it's been a while since I wrote a review. I have started moving my reviews from my blog to my website (see link below), but here are my general thoughts: I like almost everything about these headphones. Looks will always be subjective, but the...

    SoundMAGIC E10 versions - what is what?

    I was curious about these so I looked it up. Amazon lists the E10M as discontinued, so it looks like the E10S is the replacement. However if you look at the SoundMAGIC website there is no listing for the E10S, only the E10M. That's quite weird, but it's possible that their website for the EU...

    Headphone Quality PC

    I would recommend a combined headphone amp and DAC to improve your PC sound. I am not keen on internal components for sensitive equipement like headphones and I use full size ones, for in-ears it will be even more important. The issues are that your budget is quite low for such a unit, but the...

    Marshall speakers

    I had the K550 for a while and I had a similar experience with the sound. Although they are basically neutral, my problem with the stemmed from the fact that the bass was so thin I'd say it's away from neutral at that point. Although the Q701 (simialr to Dale's suggested K712) is also similarly...

    My thoughts on B&0 H6

    They don't, but the blue Pepsi version is being sold off at £150 off retail at the moment, so if you can live with the colours they're an absolute bargain!

    new headphones for home use

    I had a good experience with Custom Cable, which is more West London really. I made an article about it here: http://noblehifi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/headphone-demo-room-custom-cable.html I have owned the DT880, HD600/650 and Q701 btw. I don't think much has come along to challenge them yet...

    new headphones for home use

    I'm not so sure that playing some of these headphones through the equipment you describe is a bad thing (very mis-matched). Although I do think that spending an extra £100 would be ideal and another £400 on top of that would be amazing, but I've had some really good experiences with playing...

    Recommend some good wireless over ear headphones.

    Just to clarify: The Optical and coaxial connections of the RS220 are not connected to a DAC in the way you might expect. The DAC, as with all digital transmitting wireless headphones, is located in the headphone itself. The fact that the power, DAC, amplification and driver are all stuffed...

    Good headphones (in and over ear) for gym with bass?

    'Over' should mean 'Around', but in this case I think he means 'On', as I can't imagine people using 'Around' for the gym.

    Recommend some good wireless over ear headphones.

    I've heard the Sennheiser RS220 are the best you can get. They're almost as good as the cheaper HD600, it's amazing that they're this good, that's not a criticism of this model, but the technology in general (wireless headphones are extremely hamstrung). I've always been disapointed by wireless...

    Soundmagic HP-150 Audiophile Closed-back Stereo Headphone review

    Great review Dale! I really loved the HP100 so if it's any improvement on that sonic-wise then it's not to be under-estimated. I'm glad to see they have gotten rid of the horrible shiny effect of the HP100 though as it was the main annoyance from the looks dpeartment. Although I would prefer...

    Headphone Upgrade

    I assume because you mention over-ear that you want comfort, but do you also want to wear them outside? What's your budget, do you need isolation and do you know what signature you're looking for (lean / neutral / bassy)? If people throw a single recommendation at you without knowing any of...
