Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $45.00 from Richer Sounds

Summary:
For the price these aren't bad earphones. I tried a few of the cheaper ones - I wasn't too fussed as this was for listening to music at work. The best thing about these headphones are the ergonomics - all of the cheaper ones squashed my ears and after 2-3hours started to hurt. The earpieces are nice and big and block out ambient sound quite well. Two problems: reception (constant background hiss) and the Auto-volume adjuster - occasionally doesn't pick things up as I play music quite quietly, and will sometimes blast me! :)

Strengths:
Excellent value, fairly good sound quality, good bass range. Neat and compact, VERY comfortable for long periods (up to 8 hours at a time)

Weaknesses:
"Signal Detection" - can take up to 30 secs before it realises that I'm playing something. "Auto-volume" - temperamental at best, especially on Classical music

Similar Products Used:
Various cheap-o ones from Argos. :)

Summary:
This is indeed a follow up. I must have misplaced my finger on keyboard. Overall mark is 3 not 5 stars. Sorry.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
