Never happy with my earphones.

[bianco]

I've got a few new pairs of earphones or "in ear" heaphones, and I'm not happy.

I have the Sennheiser MX90 VC as they were on offer on play.com. I'm very happy with the sound however when the volume is turn down from max the high end faids and dulls very quickly, plus I find them incredibly uncomfortable and can't wear them longer than 15 minutes.

I have the Sennheiser CX300 from play.com, however they sound very muffled and I'm convinced they're fake(play trade £7.99) even though every site I've been too confirms they're genuine. I've tried all 3 size ear pieces and bass dominates on the larger 2 sizes and its sounds too tinny on the smaller size.

I have the Sennheiser MX300's free from Richersounds and I love the detail they give me, however they fell cheap and have no bass or lower mid range.

I'm with the original ipod headphones mkII which is killing (not physically) my ears and the moment. Can anyone recommend any earphones that sound like the MX90 VC but don't suffer from top end fade and are real comfy.

I'm willing to spend a little more but I want them to be real good. I'm wanting a very neutral sound, is that a monitor earphone?

Many many thanks in advance.

I haven't tried them yet, do you know if they're comfy for long periods of wear - 3.-4 hours?

[limblee]

I've only had them a few days, the most I've worn them is about 20 minutes, because there's always something to do (so the wife tells me).

Search these forums for them, there are quite a few followers, they'll probably have more experience with them than I do.

How much are you willing to spend and do you need the isolation of in ear?

I have a pair of Shure SE 530's and find them very comfortable over extended periods of wear. The SE110's should be just as comfortable, well worth a try

When pay day pops around I'm thinking about £50-£60. I like the looks of the Vibes, anyone heard anything about them?

I'm not concerned whether there is isolation or not, my main concerns are audio quality and comfort.

If you can stretch a bit further then the Denon C700s for £65 delivered. If you don't like the standard tips then you can add the comply t400s.

Ah - this one is an easy question. Cheap as chips in-ears with great sound and comfy... well get out your CC and spend 20 USD (yes thats right its including postage) and buy yourself a pair of these beauties (I liked them so much I bought 2 pairs!) :-

Read all about them and the offer here :

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/s...hipped-366687/

and buy them from here :

http://www.focalprice.com/Profession...074S_2648.html

at 20 USD you won't have to pay import taxes, and with the csash you say you can buy some more cd's - so go on, buy 2 pairs - one for best and one for everyday wear!

PS unless the Sehn's were bought and delivered from Sehn, then yes there fakes - I don't think its possible to buy a real one on-line!

BigTone - you the man!

I'll get some order come payday!

Just ordered a pair of these headphones from Focalprice and got a E Mail confirmation within 20 mins from them.
Anyone else take the plunge with these phones.

After reading this I couldnt resist, theyre only £11 so you cant really go wrong! Im guessing delivery will take forever though having read the headfi comments...

Still not rec'd mine and I ordered 14 days ago, also had my card duped online if thats any coincedence?

[mhcq2002]

I'm the same with my headphones. I can't seem to find a pair which I like. I've had the CX300's for 3 years or so now. I keep on buying new what I think are good headphones but I keep on going back to the CX300's.

Just got a pair of SE110's, which have lasted longer than the others. Looking for a new pair again. I think I have a problem!.

Now going to get either Beyerdynamic DTX50 or Denon AH-C551. Can't decide.

Sorry to here about your Credit card.

About the headphones, Was reading on another Forum that a lot of the people that ordered them are complaining about the delivery time, but the good thing is that the headphones do arrive eventually
I also have ordered a pair,so lets just wait and see.
