hi all
ive got upto £100 for some headphones, i will use for home cinema and cds (rock, indie and some R&B) and will add a headphone amp later
i have been looking at
from superfi
Grado sr60 £80/ sr80 £90
SENNHEISER
HD465 £50
HD515 £63
HD555 £80
richer sounds
HD595 £100

does anybody have anyviews on these? which will be the best? i have tried using search but everytime i get a "this page cannot be displayed" my crap comp i think

where will be cheapest to buy from and is there anything else i should consider?
also am i right in thinking you cant demo speakers for hygiene reasons

thanks for any help
cheers lee

Can't go wrong with the 595!

Yes look on eBay for the HD600 for c£100

I would choose the SR60's. Although if you watch films more than listen to music then go for the 595's.

You really need to listen to both the Grados and the Sennheiser 600 if possible(and any good dealer would do that),as both have their merits,but the sound quality is different.

Both are very good quality 'phones,and also will benefit from a headphone amp if possible,as you've already noted.

yes in probs
they offered me the 595's for £80 on the phone i asked him is that for deffinate he said yes, as i said to him i only had 80 to spend so would he do them for £80 if not i would buy the 555 from superfi for £80, the shops are next door to each other, so i rushed out cost me a tenner in petrol to get there and him say he didnt say anything like that on the phone but i had asked him at least 3 times and explained the deal we had agreed to and he was all for it on the phone, by the time i had got there superfi was shut and i wasnt going to go home without any after all the messing around and deff not going to buy them from him so i then had to treck across to the richer sounds near bury another 30min drive, if he hadnt have offered me them for that i wouldnt have rushed around after work etc and for him to totally lie when i got there i couldnt belive it

cheers lee

[SuperSaiyan4]

Surely someone else online would have been cheaper like ebay or discount discs?
