Well after all, I decided to buy these on Friday, expecting them to arrive today. To my utter astonishment the postman was knocking on the door early Saturday morning! I must say I am very pleased with them. They are very comfortable, with a good strong, but clean bass response, something I am quite unused to with headphones. In order to 'acclimatise' me ears, and check long term comfort, I listened to quite a few commercial CDs of songs I know well. The overall clarity was good, maybe too good. I hadn't realised just how many flaws there are in 'professionally' produced media. There was me trying to get rid of just one click in a track of my own work and some these had nests of them :( A final surprise was that they perform really well with a little battery operated headphone amp I made years ago. This runs on a PP3 battery, but the phones were sensitive enough to really blast my lug 'oles if I wanted to with out any sign of stress. -- Will J G _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
