Hi, I am looking to get a pair of open back headphones for Christmas. Looking specifically at the Sennheiser 58x Jubilee and Hifiman 4xx on Massdrop? I will mostly be listening through my Schiit Magni 3, but I would like to be able to stream music from my iphone. I know I'll need a portable...

Thanks for the replies. Good to know I won’t be wasting my time. My room isn’t big, and the tv is in the corner. It’s only a year old, so it has ARC. Ive got a few Sonos devices in the house, and they’re all great for music, something my current surround setup isn’t good with, so that’s part...

Have You Ever Loved A Woman by Ben Poole (Live at the Royal Albert Hall album) A slow builder of a blues track, with some superb guitar playing. I used it when deciding on my current setup.

Just looking for some thoughts on the Sonos beam as part of a surround sound setup. I currently have a Yamaha RX V575 and Jamo A102HCS5. It’s a pretty old setup now (certainly the speakers are anyway), and I was wondering what improvements, if any, I might expect by switching to a Sonos beam...

Yep, so did I. Only two weeks late! *good*

Are any other digital subscribers finding that the August edition of the magazine hasn’t appeared on the iOS app to download? It is nearly two weeks late, and despite a number of comments I’ve seen on facebook and Twitter, and some emails I’ve sent, there has been no response to say what the...

Thanks Dalethorn. I have to agree with drummerman - the 1Mores look a bit garish for my tastes. I'm not sure I could see me wearing them outside, sadly. The Puro's look much better. I just wish there was somewhere I could try them out, to compare them to my Jabra's. What was wrong with your...

Since they were released, I've been coveting the B&W P5 Wireless headphones (I love my P3s, but want the option of going wireless), but I couldn't quite justify spending more than £300 on them. Now that B&W have reduced their price, I'm looking at them again. Would they be a worthy upgrade to...

Chebby, if you're still checking this thread, can I suggest the Jabra Move wireless headphones? I've been using them for a year and a half or so, and I think they're excellent, and comfortably under £100.

Thanks for this - this convinced me to get the AK Jr, as the storage was the only thing holding me back. I'm loving it, and the ipod classic is now being sold.

Good choice. I have both, as well as the b&w p3, but the over ear momentums are definitely my favourite, and the ones that get most use. They don't fully surround my ears, but it's by a very small margin, and the pads are so soft that I barely notice. They are really comfortable, and I can...

Did you go for the on ear or the over ear momentums?

Sounds like it will do exactly what I want. Ordered it last night, so should arrive tomorrow. Looking forward to a few evenings of organising and sorting! Thanks a lot for your help. Much appreciated

Thanks for your replay. That was the one I was thinking of going for, but kept finding people saying it wouldn't work. I think I will go for it then. Just one question - you say it plays flac files. Presumably it will also play alac, as that is what most of my music is ripped to, as I use...

Like many others, I would like to create a multiroom music system. I already have a few AirPlay speakers (libratone zipp, a couple of airport expresses and a rocki play), so I would prefer not to invest in a sonos system for now. I would also prefer not to have to turn my macbook on every time I...
