Extremely professional sounding IMO, almost sounding like a paid review *check's orb's posting history*  Honestly, I don't need anything new soon, but if my current headphones break/have issues I would buy these without a doubt (cheap price, plus it's fucking Razor, they sponsored the TSL!). It's not Razor. It's Razer  | ||

They offer GREAT noise cancellation. Too good even. It's quite dangerous to go jogging or roller-blading with these because you can't hear car horns if the volume is too high. My CX400s offer better bass response and noise cancellation then the HD555s although I do admit that the HD555s have better sound quality overall (treble is more clear, mids sound a bit better also). If you haven't tried in-canal buds, please do, you'll see what we mean (although it takes like a week to get used to the sensation).

I doubt they're 3 times as good as Shure's model. In fact, I doubt they're even noticeably better. Also they don't look like they really stick in the ear that well, tho I can't really tell. Anyway, I'd like to try them out. | ||

: I'd bet over 90% of those people would say bose is really high quality headphones if you asked them. I'm really glad I read this thread. That would definitely include me, for the simple reason that in the UK, the only headphone adverts I ever see are bose. Apparently trusting people who's intent is to sell me their stuff isn't smart  In the next few months I'm looking to get some high end headphones -as an audiophile, what would you recommend if i have around 100 UK Pounds to play with? I'm mainly a rock music fan, but have recently been getting very into classical, and slightly into jazz. Will I have to compromise on which genre I want to hear best? Also, this may sound like a stupid question, but is there a significant difference in sound quality between different MP3 players? I have between 100-150 pounds to spend on one. | ||

They've been sitting on the UE 10s for ages. Also, they definitely sit in your ear VERY well, because they are custom made from a mold of your ear... you have to go to some ear specialist or something and get a mold taken to be sent in to ultimate ears for them to make one. I mean they're for musicians on stage, they're personal monitors. On April 13 2009 02:19 Tal wrote: I'm really glad I read this thread.

You pretty much can't go wrong with anything from Ultimate Ears. High end shures are very good as well. I don't know the exchange rate, but if 100 pounds gets you up to 250 US dollars (the dollar is pretty weak...), definitely go with the utlimate ears SuperFi 5 Pros, as those are the ones I was comparing in the entire review and they are definitely the best headphones I've ever heard. Also I've never heard a difference in quality between different mp3 players, but then again I've never owned anything other than an iPod In a sense, at your medium-high end price range, yes, you end up compromising a little bit for what your favorite genre is, but not nearly as much as you do with low-end headphones. I mean obviously like the UE10s/11s for example are going to be able to cater to all styles better because they have 4 freakin drivers lol... | ||

Yes there is a significant difference in the sound quality of different MP3 players, but you'll need to check reviews and comparisons for that. Either way, the good brands should deliver good quality, cheaper things would deliver worse quality. As for headphones. I'd go for the Sennheiser HD555. They're the best headphones I've listened to in your price range. I've also heard Technics, Phillips, and Sony headphones (can't remember exact models) that cost about 100e or cheaper, and none of them sounded as good as the Sennheisers. And to the person recommending the UEs, no, 100pounds won't bring you even close to $250. 1 pound is slightly larger then 1 euro. Google says: 100 British pounds = 146.46 U.S. dollars | ||

Amazingly strong bass, crisp trebles, not too much noise isolation to the point of uncomfortableness (like some Shures), and a sweet looking full-metal (lol) construction. The only problem is that within half to a year of using them, one of the wires will most likely come lose, causing sound in one of the earbuds to just completely die. Fortunately, they have a 1-year warranty, and I've even heard that they'll cover a full replacement for that problem even after the warranty's over. | ||

At $250 they aren't really "earbuds" like ipod headphones, but in-ear monitors. Why do people get them? Small, and better noise isolation than headphones, with good sound quality. | ||

They go for about 140$. If you're interested in buying anything Audiophile, do thorough research. Visit www.head-fi.org and read people's reviews. Remembers, everyone's ear and music taste is different, so what applies to one person does not necessarily apply to the next guy. | ||
