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. sennheiser hd-25 | ||

For in ear buds at that price range (someone already mentioned these) the phonek audeo pfe are a good buy. Another good choice is Future sonics atrio m5. Those would be my picks for IEM based on what i've read. If you'rel ooking for headphones (over the ear) just pick the sennheiser model that fits in you're budget, you wont be disappointed ^_^ Also, mp3 players make a big difference. Currently the sansa clip (very small/cheap player) has probably the best sound on the market. ipod is generally on the lower end of sound quality. other brands that generally have good quality are creative and cowon. another thing that is supposed to make a huge difference is a headphone amplifier, can't say i've ever tried one though. | ||

http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/in-ear-monitor/denon-ah-c351k.php Image Comparison : + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.headphone.com/productphotos/large/0020520351_3343.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5885/orbmoray2.jpg) Headphone.com agrees with your appraisal if they are : We feel these miniaturized mobile-application cans equal the audio performance of some ECHs at double the cost. The AH-C351k have very potent, smooth, and well-expressed musical detail high & low although they are somewhat recessed in the mid-ranges. This may be a clinker especially for the picky audio geek who prefers vocals & female voices out front but for most listeners wanting a giant knock-down audio AND in-ear fit improvement to the earbuds or ECHs that came with your iPod or Mp3 player, the DENON C351k are a guaranteed can't miss. And the very affordable price sure sounds darn good too. | ||

If you want a great place to research, check out headphone.com http://www.headphone.com/ Priced in USD, but you can get most of those in the UK as well. The information is what's important. I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 Pros which I adore - they're big and full-ear headphones, mind, but the sound is stellar for a low price. They may not be ideal for jazz or classical, though, being closed headphones. You'd probably want something open like the Sennheiser HD595. Bliss on your ears, and you can get them for a ton at Amazon UK - bargain! shit... I think I'm going to buy a pair now, lol! Been eyeing an open set for a while, haha. | ||

Those look a hell of a lot like rebranded Denon AH-C351Ks. http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/in-ear-monitor/denon-ah-c351k.php Image Comparison : + Show Spoiler + Headphone.com agrees with your appraisal if they are : We feel these miniaturized mobile-application cans equal the audio performance of some ECHs at double the cost.

Strange though, afaik the Mako is made by Razer themselves, and every single thing I've heard about the Mako is positive. | ||

It's the exact same headset - look at it. The "design" couldn't have been more than deciding where to put the logo. | ||

I don't know about the Mako, all I can say is that the Morays look like imports. Big speakers are easier to "design" anyway - you buy the drivers, get someone to make a few injection moulds and assemble - job done. Buying good full-size naked drivers is not a small market to fish in. I don't think anyone making in-ear phones, though, sells their hi-def drivers - you get the whole thing and that's it. In both cases, I don't think anyone was "designing" anything related to the audio - at least not like what would happen at Sennheiser or Cerwin Vega - more just buying pieces and putting them together. | ||
