How are you liking them so far. Thinking of picking up the blue/tan ones for general music listening.

I'd look at other stuff too, i personally find them fairly tiring for general listening. They sound fairly analytical, have a look at some Grados, IMO perfect for general listening, and easy to drive.

I got the Blue/Tan ones, they do look nice...

They look amazing! How's the sound quality like, if I may ask? :)

Just got them a couple days ago, still breaking them in. I tried them a bit with Qobuz lossless out of the box and they sounded nice, although Deezer also seemed good.

I like my bass, and with some pop-rock it seemed there's just enough.

When I looked at them the first time, I was afraid they would be too small, but my ears fit exactly, and they are very comfortable.

I was also surprised by the weight. They seem pretty light to me, good. And they are not huge for your bag.

I haven't tried the Bluetooth yet.

They are designed in Austria, but made in China. Harman has several factories there, and I understand they are their own.

More to come sometime.

I'm not sure if anybody has heard of these; they're EarPods by a tech company called Apple. They actually came with an MP3 player I purchased from Apple, but I'm quite alright with them. :p

I'm looking for a pair of in ear headphones with a mic, for the iPhone 5, I had a pair of RHA MA600, the sound stopped from one earpiece, I think it was due to the jack/wiring, as when I twisted it around it would intermittently work.


Anyway i'm thinking of buying another pair of RHA MA600, returning the old set (3 year warrantee). Unless anyone can recommend me another good pair for around the same price. Which was £60.

Had Beats Studio before, didn't like it and sold it and got this Audio Technica M50X.

Can anyone recommend any good 7.1 wireless surround headphones? A colleague at work has asked me but I've never looked into these?

How are you liking those? I am thinking about getting the same ones.

I have been using these for the last week, listening to a variety of music and they're superb. The bass is just right and doesn't over power like the Beats, mids and treble are clear. You can easily use them for a long period of time without tiring your ears and getting discomfort.

Another aspect was the price, I didn't really want to spend a lot on headphones but I got these for $150AUD while normally they were being sold for $200 in Australia.

I highly recommend them!

Currently rocking these. Picked them up for next to nothing (£15). Best value thing I own, hands down. Sound quality is far beyond what you'd expect from something so cheap. I've heard the same kind of sound from £200 headphones. Build quality wise they do feel cheap and a little delicate but it's hard to criticise them too much for that at this price and everyone thinks they cost around £100 when they ask about them.

I got these:
Beyerdynamic T5p Tesla Audiophile Portable and Home Audio Stereo Headphone by beyerdynamic http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C04P46/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_NndUtb06P8GTM
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Headphones by Audio-Technica http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVLUR86/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_BodUtb18SM2WT
Margaritaville Audio MIX1-BLACK High Fidelity Headphones, Black Sand by MTX http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JR6I3PC/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_0odUtb11S0D5Y

The M50x headphones have the best bass response. The T5p are all around great.

I wholeheartedly agee, cheap build quality but the sound quality for sub £20 headphones is pretty good, I use them for TV/PS4 and they are good, better than my old gaming headphones, they were a pretty good buy, picked them up about a week ago :)

Awesome. I've had these a good few months now and they're still working fine too. When these crap out I will buy a more expensive pair from Sennheiser to replace them.

The only thing I have a problem with on these headphones is the wire. It is far too long and I've had to tie it up which is irritating when I use them out and about.

Which ones are they? I'm currently thinking about the Senn Momentum's even though I have the B&W P7's.
