JamesU Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Saw a set of these a few months back in Currys, the sound was amazing and i've decided to purchase as i've got a set £100 cheaper and they dont seem to have any bad reviews at all.Has anyone else ever tried or owned a set?

BRADZ Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 If these are the sets going for £20 on ebay they are really good headphones for the quality, about five people in my collage class have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have a set of Sennheiser HD555's. The sound quality especially when powered by a good pre-amp is simply orgasmic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 two sets, both dead. The db level is good, the clarity is awesome, the durability absolutely sucks balls. They don't tangle, but the cable came off the headphone in such a way both times that it was impossible to actually solder back on. I'm temted to lovely personise both remains to make another set, I liked them but I wouldn't do it again. £30 sennheisers from tesco ftw.

scotty_82 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have to use the ones that hook around your ears as i cant get standard earphones into my ears due to cauli's.I was looking at the Dre ones i think in the apple shop but don't think im cool enough to be able to walk around in public with them on :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesU Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Rich which ones do you have then? Because the cable comes out of the headphones and just plugs in with a 3.5mm jack...& Bradz, i dont think they're the £20 ones unless they're fake lol.

IDGM Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I saw bloke on a pushbike wearing some over ear jobbies yesterday on Deansgate. I'd seen them in HMV at £stoopid, and thought he looked a nob for wearing them in public and for wearing them while riding a bike down the street.

scotty_82 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 You can only look cool using them while wearing high tops and an over sized adidas matching tracksuit while riding a gold raleigh burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) He had a vague pubic hair beard, beanie hat under the headband, loose fit jeans and a sub-£70 mountain bike.Student Probably off to a spur of the moment flashmob or secret gig.

Adam K Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 there are fakes flying around everywhere and the worst bit is they look almost identical to the real thing, there are some very subtle difference. i was on the verge of buying the studio model, but after reading about the hinges breaking constantly i ended up buying a set of B&W P5's. there is a website which looks identical to the real beats by dre website, and they are selling fakes. i would only buy these from a reputable seller if you do buy a pair. even on amazon there are fakes that are being sold through the amazon marketplace.

scotty_82 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 If there is money to be made people will copy them.

Some of the fakes over there are as good as if not better than the real thing! Also some of the stuff over there, especially a lot of things on eBay, despite the cheap prices are not always counterfeit so to speak! There are a lot of 'expensive/high end' products manufactured in HK and due to the way their laws work in terms of copyrighting - They can sell stuff direct from the factories for significantly less than UK retail prices as they only have to pay the manufacturing cost, shipping cost and eBay listing fees!
