    Might've missed the train on earphone discussion but anyone got recommendations for on-ear ones that are fairly cheap? Tried a pair before that weren't great on the lower stuff. Mainly DnB and Metal I listen to so that kinda spoiled it. :pac:

    what do you mean by on ear? Like the big cup ones?

    I have a pair of Sony DJ headphones. Lush sound out of them and of course they block out external noise but you look like a bit of a tit wearing them.

    Usually prefer the in-ear canal headphones, noise isolation preferably as I like to listen to my music loudish (but so that anyone around can hear :o). Tried a few of the backband and headband type headphones but always find them uncomfortable for some reason

    The ones that go deep into your ear are good alright but I can't help feeling a bit violated when I insert them....

    The little bud ones always fall out of my ears. I have weird ears I think.

    Noise cancelling ones are the shizz.

    Got to be really careful with them though; if you accidentally blast your ears at 100% volume off a laptop (as Windows 7 makes easy, defaulting everything to 100%) or some other source with a lot of output, you can get permanent hearing damage with in-ear earphones.

    My dad found out the hard way there, and is partially deaf in one ear.

    You usually get various ear buds in different sizes with your in-ear headphones that you can then switch and make them fit in your ear easier. I think you can buy even bigger ones in shops

    Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Yeah I don't usually have it at max volume anyway. Usually have it at normal levels then adjust every time I think I want it louder.

    yeah. I've seen people JOGGING with them like! HOW?

    When i put them in I have to hold my head perfectly horizontal and still and I usually end up exhibiting a kind of gormless facial expression as a result.

    closed headphones are the best from my experience. i've had to use a lot of different types.

    technics budget headphones for about 50 are decent enough.

    most ive spent on a set was 200 and i'd only use them if i got a gig or a session to work at.

    First time seeing it! I've been trying to see this film for about a year!

    The first time I went to watch it, house was quiet, had the popcorn and coke at the ready, open the dvd case, not in the friggin box! :mad:

    Then, found it one day so decided I'd watch it on my laptop. Hasn't worked for ages. (it does this with some movies).

    Tonight I had my laptop idle coz I was doing some study. I go back to it after an hour and there was the film waiting to start?!? Strange.Good reason to stop studying! :D

    Only like the Dirty Harry films. Not really into westerns. The others, ah, they're alright. I have only seen the latest Rocky film. :o

    I dunno what the limit is at the moment. Must check that out. Sometimes its a pain though as I tend to find the movies with frickin subtitles attached. :rolleyes:

    Not in English either.. :o

    Just need to know what to look for :pac: I switched from Eircom once they started enforcing their caps. Of course just after I switched they raised their cap above what I have now. Still, 170GB a month is enough, I've hit somewhat of a wall in trying to fill another hard drive after filling the first 2 1.5TB ones. With Linux ISOs obviously.

    Oh yeah. Totally. Yep. Yeah. Linux you say. yep.

    :o

    Ah, I know what you mean. Just not the Linux bit. don't worry about it. :pac:

    Oh, I watched the Inbetweeners the other day. I stupidly got hyped up about it so I wasn't that impressed with it. And it just kinda ended. :cool:
