Cool Headphone Upgrade

Hi guys,

I need a headphone upgrade, stock ones died on one channel and arn't top notch.

I'm thinking of procuring some Sennheiser cx 880s. Good price at the mo.

Do you think these would be a psitive addition?

danke schon

Personally I'd go for Samsung, I believe they are the best for audio/visual on the market.

You will NOT get more bang for your buck than these. I'd have been happy had they cost me twice the asking price here. They out-perform my £60 Senheissers easily.

Unfortunately I lost them, so using some Xmas cash I bought the top model in the range. They cost twice as much, but are about 5 times as good!!!! With the right EQ settings on PowerAmp (the best player IMO) these things are simply outstanding.

Both also have the best cable I've ever encountered. Almost impossible to tangle. Just take them out your pocket, give them a shake, and they just unravel. No messing. Very very well made too. The box they come in could be used as a time capsule. The most over-packaged product I've ever bought!

You wont be disappointed with either of these.

P.S. If anyone buys these, please time how long it takes you to get the packaging open and post your results back here!

Edit: Found the a-Jay Threes £10 cheaper here...http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.213-9892.aspx

Get em!

Still love skullcandy,

I have the lowrider headphones and the ink'd earphones.
Previous version of lowrider broke quite some times, but it had great support, every time I got a new one. Never had problems now with the newer version of the Lowrider. Also never had problems with the ink'd.

Next headphone i'll buy will be the Beats Audio Solo HD

I have to disagree, i think skull candy are the epitome of style of product.
They were the worse headphones i have ever brought because of the really low audio quality of both highs and low frequencies, but they were full ear headphones and not ear phones.

had 2 types of skull candy ones and they were alright but nothing special and the ones that go over your head actually snapped.

After a new pair and will give them ajay threes a try I think, decent reviews and a good price at £30

Seriously LOL at the Samsung and Skullcandy comments.

Checkout Brainwavz M3

Edit in before the real jokes come out and someone recommends getting a pair of beats hahahahahaha.
HTC Desire → HTC Desire S (Bricked) → Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Have a look at the Razer Moray in ear earphones, they come with a little carry case, different bud sizes, and an airplane adapter. The sound on them is pretty good too. However i could be recommending them, for the simple fact that im a Razer fanboy
