Title: New Headphones
Post by: Simon on September 15, 2011, 21:42

Just received these from Amazon, and I have to say, they are the most comfortable, and best sounding headphones I can remember having, and I've had a few!  If you're looking for a new set, that don't cost the earth, look no further.  Treble is crystal clear, and bass is fully robust, with a low enough frequency to have your fillings out.  Well, not quite, perhaps, but they're bloody good!   8-)

Hmmm - shame I bought a set just a few weeks back.  They are probably much better.  But I'm delighted with my Sony docking station.

They would have been a perfect match.  ;)

I know.  You *did* warn me about my £16 set.  Did I listen?   ::)

You should listen to the experts, Clive, then you can listen to your music. ;)

I've been a huge fan of Audio-Technica cans ever since I auditioned my first pair way in a blind listening test back in the 1970's.  I still haven't found anything that comes close to them in quality at anywhere near the price.  These (http://www.eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=39&prodID=155) are my current ones.   (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv300%2FMothballs%2FSmileys%2Fmusic.gif&hash=ca0ac9f56f3717dc0b98e8c84f248aaba8770f10)

Shouldn't it be a deaf listening test?  ;D

They look nice cans, Rod, not dissimilar to the Sony set I've just bought.  :)

That's one heck of a spectrum they cover, Rod, keep them away from bats. ;)

Yes, when I was heavily into HiFi many years ago, 20 - 20,000 was the norm.  :)
