Headphones > 90 GBP to 149 GBP Headphones

Who is Bose trying to trick

Advantages: good feel, comfortable, good mid-range, and treble
Disadvantages: Terrible garbage base that drowns out midrange and treble

There are some good things and some bad things with these headphones.First off, they are amazingly comfortable and you could wear them all day. There is very little sound leak meaning they provide very good sound insulation reducing the need for noise cancelling technology. Great because you don't need to fool around with batteries.The soundThe treble and mid range are great, it's just too bad that they are almost completely overwhelmed by a terrible ...
...base as opposed to actually playing the correct frequency. This base blasts out a range of low frequencies in an attempt to hit the one it's looking for. I beleive that phono experts refer to this as garbage base.The base and the quality and whether it hurts your head or not depends on the song you play. If you catch a bad song you end up reducing the volume to avoid spilling your brains and then find yourself straining to hear the music.This overbearing ...

Review of Bose ON-EAR

Sennheiser RS 140 Headphones

Advantages: Great build quality, nice sound output
Disadvantages: Noticeable drop-off in sound quality if you leave the room

After angling for a pair of these for my birthday, my luck was in on the day when I unwrapped my wife's present to find these staring back at me! As you'd expect with Sennheiser, the build quality is good. The base unit is well-designed and sturdy, with a couple of switches discreetly positioned at the bottom. The headphones are also well-built and comfortable, resting elegantly on the base unit's cradle to receive their charge. (The unit comes ...
...the headphones themselves is extremely simple: plug the base unit into a "sound source", click the "tuning" button on the headphones and wait until it finds the signal. However, if you're in a house with a lot of other wireless signals, you'll most likely need to choose a different "channel" using the switch on the front of the base unit to find the best signal. It should be noted that the headphone jack on the base unit is also of a good quality, ...

Review of Technics RP-DJ1200 E-K

Wow. ATH-ANC7s are difficult to put down.

Advantages: Sound Quality, Noise-Cancelling, (Lack of - ) Weight, Nifty Design.
Disadvantages: Occasional Mobile interference if you're not careful.

Wow. The only way I can describe using these headphones is to say that wearing them is like stepping into a very comfortable, almost entirely soundproof bubble, where you can sit back and relax in virtually any environment. I purchased these headphones mainly for using on the train to and from work, but I've ended up using them almost every time I listen to music/watch a film. As I mentioned above, they are extremely comfortable. The build quality ...
...cans feel soft, but durable. One thing worth mentioning here is the weight, or rather lack of weight! I have happily worn these headphones for hours (literally) without them feeling uncomfortable or heavy. When folded they are virtually un-noticeable in a bag - I carry mine with me everywhere! In fact I'm wearing them at the moment. As a tool for listening to music, I have yet to hear anything better whilst out and about in the real world. Sure, ...

Review of Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7

Sennheiser HD 595 - What a product!

Advantages: Sound quality
Disadvantages: Style

...Many weeks i decided - Sennheiser HD595. Since then and after reassuring myself of spending that money, and listening to the quality and feeling them...im a REALLY happy bunny!! Bargain hunting!------- I searched ALL over for the best price, eventually got it down, popular comparison shopping search sites did it!! You may well find well know retailers to be more expensive with these. Packaging-------- The cardboard box it came in, was so well ...
...and each ear phone would be still intact (hehe...just...don't try it!!) It also had that lovely new smell when you open it! The design is good and practical, there is just one rubber cable to the LH ear, and its well sealed. The cable quality is good and durable with a gold plated plug with adapter. Cable length is ideal; not too long or too short. So if your favourite seat isn't too far away from your hifi stack, this is perfect! It comes with a ...
