Dixons Travel in Dublin airport have the TMAs for 139 euro, think they are marked down to clear as they had a few and they have a 'managers special' sticker on them, was seriously tempted but couldn't justify the spend... bloody good price though for anyone looking for them and passing through T2 in Dublin airport. Amazon has them at 139 pounds and that seems to be the cheapest online.

In fact I'm kinda pssed off now that I didn't buy them

Was in Dublin Airport before New Years and Dixon's sold me a pair of these TMA-1's for €110, delighted with them

i've a pair of these babies.
You won't find better value in terms of sound. They're not the coolest looking 'phones you'll ever see though so maybe not suitable for outdoor wear.

Going through Dublin airport this morning and I almost resisted checking if there was any left... wandered into Dixons and they had them reduced again to 80! Snapped up a pair, there were only 2 left. Feckin thrilled - I'm away now till Wednesday so won't get to test them really till I'm home, impressed though even on my mp3 player. The build quality is excellent and very comfortable... clearly quite bass heavy but I expected that from the reviews I've read. Downside is that I've now used my planned budget on some new tunes
Oh and... :pac:
If it's just for general listening, these Bowers & Wilkins headphones are the best I've ever heard. Quality is amazing, bass is deep and satisfying but not
overpowering. Has anyone ever used them?

They were a set I had considered when I last upgraded my IEMs but went for the Sennheiser IE8 at the time, love them...

Grado are high on my list of headphone wants - I hope to get either the SR60 or SR80 at some point.
I have a bit of a headphone addiction I have to admit

In fairness to the Beats, they have an incredible sound, I just couldn't justify the price tag. But for overall listening experience I think they're hard to beat. Wouldn't be suitable for DJing though, as I'd say they'd fall apart after a few weeks.Executive Steve wrote: »As for the Beats ones, I was really sceptical, but my mate (who i trust completely) tried a pair and fell in love with them straight away - says they're useless for anything studio or dj related, because they're really "dishonest" and colour the sound completely, but if you're after an amazing listening experience with huge amounts of clear and defined bass you can't go wrong. Very overpriced for what they are though, and very fragile too.
from herewhats the difference between the sennheiser hd25 1 - II and the hd 25 II?
HD 25 II 502105
as HD 25-1 II, but with 2m steel cable, straight jack plug
HD 25-C II 502104
as HD 25-1 II, but with 3m coiled cable, straight jack plug
HD 25-13 II 502102
as HD 25-1 II, but with 600 ohm impedance, 3m steel cable, straight jack plug
I have the HD 25-C II's. Great cans, but the 3m coiled cable, while it's great for DJing (which I don't do a lot of lately), it's a pain in the hole for just general listening. Replacement cables are a ridiculous price.
Picked up a pair today for €80. I've only listened to them using my iPhone but they're ridiculously bassy (which like yourself I expected), which makes them definitely more suited to more dance/electronic music.Scubadevils wrote: »Going through Dublin airport this morning and I almost resisted checking if there was any left... wandered into Dixons and they had them reduced again to 80!

Nice one - I must say I'm loving them, I've had a good at least 5 or 6 hours of listening time on them now and they just continue to impress. Only home tonight and not sure if I've the energy to crank up the decks for the ultimate test, might need to wait till tomorrow evening for that.0 -

Had a listen on the laptop and they sound even better. But year, the decks are the next test! I'll leave that for tomorrow. Old man that I am!!
Yeah I've mine running direct to a CD player now and really delivering - can't get away from the fact that they are dull and bass heavy but in a good way though! Gas alright with age, a few years back and the lids of the decks would have been torn off to test drive a new addition such as headphones :pac:0 -

I think that ties into what Steve was talking about earlier. They give a very "true" sound, in that if a track is not mastered correctly or ripped correctly the inadequacies will be shown up. I think this would be were the Beats would come into their own, they are so much more forgiving. That said, the right track on the TMA-1's just sounds amazing (even on an iPhone!)
They look amazing though, and the build quality is super.
I've completely resisted even listening to a set of Beats due to all the negative reviews from 'purists' around the web - plus the fact that I felt anything with an artist endorsement has to be shyte - I should take the blinkers off though and judge for myself.
Oh yes absolutely, most of what I've thrown at the TMAs has been dub techno, dubstep and D&B - all of which sounded stunning. I did briefly try some Velvet Underground but only lasted a minute or so of one track... so the TMAs will know their place around here :pac:
Shush! I blame the 12 hour shifts! ;/
On a side note: Apparently this is where they get their name from.
Ha yeah I read that - just after I bought my set on Monday morning, I was sitting at the departure gate wondering whether I'd be like a big kid and open my new toy - I decided against it so went with reading up reviews for them on the iPhone 0 -
