    How ar ya's

    Anyone know where I can buy good quality head phones? I currently have the ones I got with my Song discman. There the ones that fit inside your ear. I find I can't hear the bass on them when I’m on the bus or a nosey environment. I don't really like them huge DJ like head muffins but I would like the sound quality you get with them. I'm looking for something in-between: not to big with great sound...

    Any ideas? and where a good place to look?

    Thanks,
    BoB

    I'm not too familier with what you are looking for so I would recommend Dixons as a place to browse and ask headphone-specific questions.

    You won't get full-size-headphone quality in a pair of earbuds without spending crazy money, but a €20 pair of Sennheiser MX-400s should be miles better than the headphones you got with your discman. They should be fairly widely available, Peats definitely have them.

    Like everything it depends on how much you want to spend.

    There are inbetween models like the Koss Porta Pro which is a pretty legendary model (www.koss.com) the hifi tv shop in Georges st often has these or Sennheiser have a new range of foldables out the PX100 and PX200 (http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/mpindex30.htm)

    But I would not recommend Dixon's to my worst enemy:)

    Happy listening whatever you choose!

    just get a big pair like for your hi-fi, they are just small speakers on your head, if you spend over 20 beans on it you will get virtually perfect sound.

    Sennheiser REALLY are the business.

    I've got a pair of the PX40's, and they really are fantastic, no matter what I'm listening to. Great clarity, and they're comfortable, and small enough.

    Don't want to sound like an advertisement for Sennheiser, but they really do their job.

    For anyone who really wants a pair of Sennheisers the 2003 dublin hi fi and home cinema show is on in the Burlington Hotel on Nov 1&2 and they always have discounts on Sennheisers. They say they will have the new 650's on display for us to salivate over.
