Just bought some Sony 1000xm3 headphones over the ear black WHF 5 star review ones from Costco for £240

What kind of budget are you looking at gel? And what source? I'm basically talking about having a headphone amp and DAC.

Hi Anort3,
I was looking at a max budget of £500, I would like them to be very comfy and really good quality with music. Headphone amp and DAC wasn’t in my mind though. Cheers.

Samsung TVs don't work with Sony headphones. You can only adjust the volume using the 'phones, not the TV remote. Samsung's useless TVs and their equally useless customer support is why I'll never buy another one. I'm glad the one I did buy was really cheap!

Yes, I took my Sony headphones back.

Actually mate, how much does headphones amp and DAC cost? I can actually play my B&W P7’s through my Pioneer amp and listen to music through that come to think of it I bought a 5m cable for this.

Yeah, I have just been listening to them and not that impressed to be honest, I prefer my B&W P7 headphones.

I have the P7s, can't take noise cancelling headphones to work unfortunately as their inbuilt lithium batter is considered a possible fire risk..... ho hum.

That’s a shame mate.

That’s a shame mate.

Doesn't sound like I am missing much with those Sony's and I have some excellent IEMs that are pretty good at cutting out plane noise. 🙂

Yep, those Sony’s were rubbish! 🙂 Managed to take them back to Costco just before the lock down. I am currently playing my B&W P7’s through my Pioneer amp on stereo and listening to music on my Sky HD box - sounds brilliant!

No need mate. I have decided I am happy after all. Cheers.

Of course there is a volume control on the XM3, but it probably requires reading the one-page user notice that came with it. 😀
