Sony MH755 sound interesting, 4$ gems

They are! Only the cable is a problem. Too short and the vibrations through it carry. I'm using it with an extension right now, which is fine, but the extension I'm using is too heavy (it's a really thick 3.5mm female to male extension). Eventually will attempt some kind of cable mod. Or I'll use them as intended, with a clip on bluetooth receiver :)

I am amazed at how well they fit and isolate. At the price they're worth buying just to use as ear protectors.
 
The Blons are awaiting collection at the post office... only issue is that I don't know which post office :(
Got sent to Rosebank post office, I got notification that they're at Rosebank post office, Rosebank said they sent it back to the hub because it's not the post office nearest to me... but tracking ends there. Have to phone customer support on Monday apparently... beginning to doubt I'll ever hear them.

I've had about 10 packages sent to me over the last year, first time I've had an issue :cry:
 
Travelling atm. Got to test the WF-1000XM3 in the air. Superb. Wireless ANC IEM's are incredible in the right situations. SQ is decent as well. It performed better than I expected. Money very well spent.

The Sony baby killers (and air hostess / annoying captain who thinks we give a shit about how high we are).
Definitely made long distance flights more bearable.

Neck pillow (check)
Tablet with your own movies / magazines (check)
ANC headphones (check)

Legroom ......... (well 3 out of 4 aint bad)
 
Neck pillow (check)
I never got into the neck pillow thing. I travel around 1 week a month (2 flights, between 2 and 8 hour flights in general). I bought 2 but never used them because my longer flights are business class. Maybe I should try them on the 3-4 hour flights? Do they actually work?

As someone who regularly gets shipped to the states in cattle class, they help.
Prevents that feeling where you fall asleep and your head flops to the side waking you up.
If you get one one go with the memory foam, the blow up ones are horrible,

Hey man.. welcome. What will you be driving them with? If you have some sort of entry DAC/amp or higher, the HD650 is a very strong recommendation. Bass, mids, and treble are all well represented and it scales beautifully with better gear.
 
Been quiet here lately, no one bought any new toys lately ?
Ill go, bought a Tin T4 and loving it. So far chifi has been good. (Tin P1, T4)
Now getting curious about the more premium brands, ie eytimotic, shure etc
Can anyone compare ?
Whats everyone's favorite IEM and why?

My dailies. Shure SE215. Need new foamies though.

HD650 is a definite winner... it would be my choice within your budget range. I have other higher end headphones but my 650 has never left my side.
 
Anyone tried these:


Really mixed reviews.....
 
I thought the 650s were closer to the R8k mark?
Good point.. they go around R3500 second hand and are generally very well looked after (from what I've seen). But.. they don't come around too often. The 6xx will be around the R4k mark and although personally I prefer the OG 650 (I can't justify why as I don't know myself).. as an entry into this world of audio, the 6xx is a good start as well. From what I've read, it's pretty much identical to the 650 ito SQ. Maybe someone who's heard both can chip in here.

I was in this position a couple weeks ago, was about to order the HD6xx off Drop but then found a pair of great condition HD650's on carb. Have enjoyed them immensely so far, a good improvement over my HD598SE's that had been my everyday headphones for a couple of years. Like my previous HD598SE's they're really comfortable, a bit higher clamping force but not so high that it causes any pain.

Nice stuff. What are you driving them with? They scale BEAUTIFULLY and they take to toobz like a fish to water.

At the moment just a Fiio E10k I've had since I had the HD598s. Won't be upgrading for a while (have a new phone on the way and various other CUD items), but will try the tube life at some stage.

That setup is just fine. Anything more and you'll just get yourself in trouble. The fruits are sweet and tasty... that's the damn problem.
 
The Fostex Purple Heart with the Lawton Mod (driver mod only) is exceptional. It's an easy recommendation for someone getting into audio as well as someone who is already lost in the rabbit hole. It's a really smooth and fun listen.. and the bass is phenomenal! So much of it, but tight and controlled and it extends right to Satan's doorstep. The Lawton mod does wonders. Amazes me how a few strips of stuff can make such a difference. But even without the Lawton, it's a superb headphone (in both SQ and looks).
 
HD800 is in my possession once again.
Folks, once you go HD800 you can never go back.
This is one headphone you can never let go.

Yep, what I'm aiming for too. Have the 650s paired with my STX. Next goal is a crack tube otl amp.
