Low risk purchase. If you look after them and don't like them, you can sell them and probably only lose about £20. They were originally designed by Ryback though (K1000 engineer) so I doubt they'll be going back.

Already Graham,
I give in I’m buying a pair. Struggling with £52 being any good. Western HiFi marketing has brainwashed me!! Too cheap = no good repeat after me...

Well, I just bought another pair of K240's since Jnr. has made off with my first pair, and loves them. Straight from the box they sounded a bit gritty especially on Joe Walsh's County Fair, but that seemed to ease during the track. It shouldn't be long before the diaphragms bed-in. Comfy enough for this old timer. The damage? £52. Good enough for me.

That none should be able to buy or sell without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro worth looking at? Any experiences out there? Which impedance and what difference does it make?

Dear all.
I knew that I had come to the right place. Helpful ideas and useful discussion. Bob: it is most like me to forget something important ... yes budget is a consideration as always but if there is something worth paying for I'll save up for it. The Dan Clark headphones look to be interesting and I will check these out. Thank you. (Saving up for various GS items first though ) Ernie, Graham. Alongside the Dan Clark suggestion from Bob I will look at the AKG headphones too. It' s not that I don't like the Sennheiser Momentums but they are not the most revealing and sometimes they sacrifice detail for 'warmth'. This is a weakness if a lot of your music is the one-person-with-a-guitar/violin/piano-etc like mine is. Derek: great idea and a reminder to oneself that the simplest ideas are sometimes the best. Given that I am saving for various amps at the moment and a replacement set of headphones is further down the list, a new set of pads will be very useful for comfort. I'll get a set ordered Ash: thank you for your thoughts regarding headphones. Always interested in learning from someone's journey through hi-fi. |

In that case Graham I’ll give up on headphones. 30 odd years of Rugby Union has destroyed the shape of my ear canals.
