    Hi all,

    My headphones have had an unfortunate end thanks to some hyper teenager and a tight game of FIFA 17........

    Any recommendations. Not looking to break the bank on these - in around the €100 mark.

    Use mainly with deezer through the iphone...

    Thanks guys.

    Hey Ryanno.

    You could look a the Grado SR80e priced at 109.99 Euro but I could offer a set for the 100 Euro.
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200692-sr80e.aspx

    There are also the very popular AKG Y50's priced at 64.99 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200793-y50.aspx

    If you went up a little in price you could look at the AKG K550 priced at 139.99 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201758-k550-mk2.aspx

    Let me know if any catch your eye.

    Any questions drop me a post.

    Hi Kenny,

    The headphones were wireless and I was hoping to go the same type again. Any similar to this style?

    The sony cost me €119 about 3 years ago.

    regards,

    Hi Ryanno,

    do you use them for portable use mainly - if so you would look great with the RS120 that Kenny recommended ( and the mains cable trailing around with you and the transmitter :eek: :D)

    I use the Plantronics inear and I find them brill:
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-201573-plantronics-backbeat-fit.aspx

    But if you don't want in-ear then have a look at the AKG Y50Bt:
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-201743-y50bt.aspx

    Thanks again and I'll let Kenny try a pair of the RS120 the next day is is off and walking around Belfast :D

    Keep us posted,

    Hi John,

    I looked at the review of the RS120 and I was a little confused alright :)......

    I am not a fan of in-ear usually. Are the plantronics comfy for travelling and running?

    I am going to purchase a number of items in the next few weeks but I am going to get a few things organised here to set up for the purchase. I am going to move my current TV, Philips 46 8605, into the kitchen and put the new LG OLED 65 B6V into the sitting room. I will need to get a wall mount bracket for each of the TVs and might need to replace the Denon 1911 to allow 4k pass through. Can you recommend options on the systems? I am still very happy with the MA vectors that I got off you a number of years ago and would like the AMP to match with these.

    I am looking at pulling the trigger on this over the next few weeks. 

    Thanks John.

    Hey Ryanno.

    The Plantronics are comfortable enough although I've never went running in them.

    To stick with Denon the AVRX2300 is the one to go for, currently priced up at £399.00
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-202128-avrx2300.aspx
    5 star reviewed in What HiFi - Cracking amp and would run the vectors with no issue.

    Let us know when your ready and we look after you :)
