Really? £100 is entry level as far as I'm concerned. I'm not trolling you here - I'm genuinely surprised that someone who buys B&W speakers (which can be phenomenally expensive) thinks £100 is a lot to spend on cans.

As much as I like B&W (I have their speakers for my home cinema) no part of me can justify £100 for a pair of headphones. :stuck_out_tongue:

I know what you mean but to a certain degree you do get what you pay for with headphones and the difference can be amazing. I thought my AKG 450's were pretty darned good until I heard some Sennhieser (urbans I think) which were so much better.

Correct. But they don't do the white and don't have free next day delivery
Got a second hand set of DM601 S1 speakers from a friend for £30. They sound absolutely *beautiful*. I love them and my partner loves them... and the tweeter in one died a couple of days ago. NOOOOOOOOO! ....
.... With much anxiety + my being very short sighted + a fine soldering iron + a steady hand, I managed to repair the broken wire in the tweeter - I don't know how long the repair will last though, but I guess anything we get from them now will be a bonus.
Back to headphones, just before the first major dot com bust my partner of the time (a guy) bought us each a pair of very posh headphones that were on sale at half price for £100/each (Sony, can't remember the model, but full ear, 3Hz-30KHz very-well-behaved flat response.) The sound from them is genuinely absolutely amazing. I've still got my pair, although I had to do a "repair" on them too a few weeks ago, the balance and sound was off - turned out some of the padding material over time had gone mangy and dropped inside the "speaker" bits and was causing the distortion - cleaned it out, and it sounds mint again. :smiley: I do so love being able to repair things. :smile:
The biggest problem with audio these days is finding suitable quality source material given the compression wars, fortunately I mainly like older stuff.

Have been using the P5's (original model) for the last couple of months, they're nicely built and comfortable commuter headphones.
Still prefer open cans for home use though, the Fidelio X2 slaughters them.

The Fidelio are teh first cans that I like more than Senheisser 650, they are incredible and so easy to drive as well

Try to upgrade to the P5 (series 2), they use the P7 speaker within the can..... Very nice.

I couldn't make my mind up between p3 and p5's and went for the latter.
Although the P3 fold up and come with a hard case, so for travel etc maybe much better - you get what you pay for and these are worth the hundred quid
