    Sennheiser CX200 (I think) in-ear earphones for phone mp3 listening.

    Sennheiser PC21 headset for Skype

    Sennheiser HD595 headphones for music

    Thinking of getting a Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset to replace the PC21 and HD595 (I know it's a downgrade, but I'm liking the wireless-ness).

    And it was like a billion headphone addicts all cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.

    I have sennheiser PX 30 headphones and What I love most in that is its bass quality.

    Seinheiser HD650 with Firestone Audio Spitfire Mk II DAC and NJC Audio Monitor I headphone amplifier. :D Sounds great with EAC ripped FLACs!

    I wouldn't mind picking up a pair of closed back headphones for discrete listening though, any recommendations from the Seinheiser stable?

    Sony MDREX310LPB Monitor Series

    These are £35 from Amazon.co.uk. Best earphones I have ever owned.

    As of today I know longer have the PX200-II. Well I do, but they broke have a real murky sound. Second pair in a year, exact same problem. Amazon might replace them again if I'm lucky.

    However I've added MUSE the DJ headphones, they're probably awful, but I'd seen them going for €50 on Amazon and were €10 on Play so I chanced it.

    I just added a Fiio E6 to my portable set up. When I'm at home I use a Bithead dac/amp belonging to my Dad with the Grados but never really got into the idea of a portable amp. The E6 is only an amp but so far I'm pretty impressed using it with the Grados and the portapros. Now I'm considering upgrading the cx-300s to make the whole thing fairly innocuous when I'm commuting....any excuse to buy a new pair of IEMs :o

    I don't splash out on in ear heaphones as they always brake on me within six months, I bought these and the Argos warranty even though I've lost the receipt ¬,¬
    but they are the comfiest and most durable pairs of headphones for under 20 euro I've ever had, of course I am sacrificing sound quality but I have no issues with these the sound is clear and loud enough so really good for what they are.

    My Aiaiai TMA-1's arrived today. They'd been sitting in a depot since last week. Very early impression is that they are bloody good. The untimely demise of my PX200-iis (second pair) has turned out to be a good thing as the refund covered 2/3 of the cost.

    The Portapros will always be in reach though.

    Haha, both are definitely good value for money but they're still only the first rung on the ladder ;)

    I'm on about rung 3 . . . 2 pairs of ~€150 cans and soon a pair of €130 IEMs.

    This only gets worse, doesn't it?

    My audiophilia only involves my PC and a PMP at the moment thankfully.

    Just joined the PortaPro club :)

    I bought them in town, since I couldn't even find an English site that sold the red model (and because I'm impatient!)

    Could do much worse for €45, tbh. Not bad.

    They look awful though. I'm not one who's much taken wth the aesthetics of his audio gear either.
