I have these and they are great. I also have the baby version of the BT Sennheiser also good bug small and fold up well for travel. I got mine when Peter Tyson were selling them off cheap - Though not this cheap!
I also have the AKG BT headphones (my favourite) just amazing. Agreed none of the BT unit come close to wired but they are great for mobile and less demanding use (Audio books, TV) The AKG have 50mm drivers so are much larger.
All great BT headsets! There is a thread on HUKD for the AGK from Amazon DE here
I've not tried the noise cancelling version of the Senhieser. All reports are that they are OK but not as good as the Bose QC25. I've got these and they are great for noise cancelling but the sound is no where close to the these or the AKG.
For wired I like the AKG x340 (old school) and the K702 that said there are huge number of high end headphones wired and BT on the market. From the budget PX100, Monoprice, to

:smiley: I'm pleased you like them, they are durable compared to the one offered earlier, the fact it has 3 jacks and leather case means you can look after them better.

No I wasn't, I am comparing headphones with headphones........one maybe wireless, it still doesn't detract from the face they are expensive and less than mediocre. The ones I mentioned are the best even at double their current price. They have since been superceded by the ATH-M70X, my point being why pay for what is seemingly convenience, when for near half the price you can get the best on the market at £85 or so?
EDIT: now £89.23 on Amazon, still a good deal :smirk:

No to 320kb/s although that was just for on the go. I have my music ripped to flac for listening at home and they sounded stunning with them.

I like my senns but they are ridiculously overpriced.

Whilst the price is a substantial discount, its given a mauling in reviews.
You can get what is to be considered one of the best priced headsets, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X for nearly half the price on amazon
Agree that they probably sound much better, but no bluetooth! I don't like it how Bluetooth compresses the audio so I'd choose wired but that's just me personally.

The Sennheiser's are bluetooth headphones and the Audio Technica's are not. You're comparing apples with oranges...

I'm hijacking this thread a bit but I'm tempted to treat myself to a pair of these!

I had a pair of the non-x (without aptx) version and paid £300. The sound quality was fantastic!! So much so that I had to re-rip all my CD's as I could hear every artefact.
At this price they are a bargain!

Did you re-rip them to lossless format?
