I don't get watches with all those mini faces.. what do they do?

I had one before and had no idea what all the little things were.. Alas I never wear watches as they feel weird..

Not technically a purchase because my brothers friend gave it to me because my creative zen I've had for 4 years broke on me yesterday (:() but I got a 5th gen ipod nano.:D



Now I don't have to listen to annoying people in the street or talking in the library when i'm trying to cram!

I have about 6 or 7.

The one I wear day to day is this. It has dual display, the analog is just time, the digital can show the time, run a stop watch, run a countdown timer or be turned off.


I inherited a Hublot from my grandfather than I wouldn't risk wearing day to day. Similar to this but with a leather strap.

As much as I love my IEMs I thought it was time for a new set of headphones. Using these for my computer and my IEMs on the go.

201s! Lovely piece of kit, and nice and cheap as well
What IEMS you got?

Colm!

Some cheap Sennheisers as well. Don't have much info on those.
And yeah, quite happy with the quality I'm getting from the 201s.

WhiskeyGoblin

Even a model series? :L

Oh they are fantastic for the price! If you ever think of upgrading i'd say the M50s are right down your alley if you like the 201s!

I have some good Sennheisers and Shure earplug type headphones which deliver a more rounded sound compared to the bass-heavy Sennheisers, but I won't be using them much anymore to be honest if my ears are going to be damaged so I'm using AKG K271's for listening, they aren't shoved in my eardrums. I have to start looking after my ears from now on.

Oh, they do look lovely. But I don't have enough cash :P My next audio-related purchase will have to be a good set of decks or something. I want to get serious about DJing, and there's only so much a keyboard and mouse can do for you.

Colm, interested in digital DJ'ing?

This has everything you need. Very expensive though but it has software and soundcard built in.

How are they for comfort? I'm quite tempted to buy BOSE AE2's. I know there are better sounding heaphones for the price but, oh my god, they are like heaven on. They are so comfortable it is unbelievable.

Buy Bose and I will murder you >_> they're far too overpriced for what you actually get..

Which Shure ones have you got? What's the sound of the AKGs like? Was thinking them or a pair of Senns HD25s

But they are so comfy. Never tried a headset as comfortable before.

How many have you tried?...

About 10 or so. The headphones online community always says to buy online but I want to try before I buy. Its all great saving €50 on €200 headphones but you have no idea how they sit on your head. I've tried these headphones on in a shop and they were lighter and more comfortable than any I've tried before. You would hardly know they are there. I can't try anything that are apparently marked as good value by the community.

What headphones are they suggesting?
Also bose are just too overpriced man

Sennheiser HD 25-1 II

I'm sure they are fantastic headphones but I'd like to try them on first.

Great minds!

If you have the money they I highly suggest them! I've tried them for a few hours and fell in love, while the clamping can be tight depending on your head size they loosen out amazingly, they are my next Audiophile purchase
