I have the over ear cans mate, not the in ear buds. For in ear, I'm still using the E10's. Wanted some wireless in ears because wearing over ear cans while walking gets pretty uncomfortable. Didn't wanna spend a fortune, no more than £50 ideally. My missus picked up the Earfun Airs for £39 off Amazon recently and was raving about them. I read some reviews and gave hers a try which resulted in me getting them myself. They're really good if you want wireless in ear on a budget. Very good sound for the price and they're really comfortable. No more sweaty ears while out walking the dog. |

As most of the soapbox seem to have decent ear kit now, which records really come to life through decent earphones?
I've been listening to The Good The Bad and The Queen s/t and DJ Shadow's Entroducing this morning and hearing quite a bit i've not picked up before.

Just listening to In Rainbows, and on Nude there is some very light acoustic guitar strumming panned to the right which I've never picked up on before. I've really never appreciated how good the production is on this track until just today. Absolutely stunning.

Sent my Sony WF-1000XM3s back as the right earphone would often disconncect from bluetooth. I've bought the 1000XM4s in their place. Another step up in price but on first days listening they sound even better and seem more stable.

I am old school - I only like a pair of headphones with a fucking wire in it and with big cans that go over yer ears. I'd be afraid to lose just the earbud kinds.

I've always used Sony ones but I have a pair of Bose headphones but I never use them as they're not as good as they say they are.

My soundmagic e10s are still going strong after god knows how many years, but I am treating myself to an upgrade and wanted some decent wireless ones. I've spent hours researching over the last few days and plumped for these in the end. For quality vs cost it seems they are unbeatable and have been for a couple of years. Previous small gripes seem to have been addressed with recent firmware updates. And the DSEE HX pricessing feature, that upscales compressed audio "making it comparable to hi-res audio files" was too good to resist. It came down to a choice between the Sonys and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 (also considered some Cambridge Audio, B&O and Grado options) but it seems that there's negligible if any improvement over the Sonys for an extra €100. Can't wait to get started. www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-wf-1000xm3-wireless-earbudsLost the in ear ones I purchased, so decided to try the XM3's. I know there are new versions out now, but the for the price, really cannot fault these at all, |

I loved these and I'm always a sucker for retro designs, and hopefully the last I ever fork out for: www.argos.co.uk/product/949253080 quid on ebay. Battery life is amazing and whenever you turn on/off a guitar riff plays, haha. I was playing vinyls through these through bluetooth which is a strange/deadly combination when you think about it, but I gave up on vinyl and bought 100 (dirt cheap) albums off musicmapgie instead and custom built a CD player into a standalone record player. Both were already bluetooth so I hardly built anything in truth, I just cut off the centre rod to make a flat surface and lay down the CD player. I was sad to drop vinyl but was chuffed with my pretend creation. My favourite headphones I've ever had, they go super loud too, which is an issue I had with previous ones. (Here is the record player as well btw, it really is sex on legs for the price: www.argos.co.uk/product/7164138 ) |

You don't deserve vinyl Sully. Purely for the fact you called them vinyls.

Those cheap novelty players are nasty and the poor excuse for a needle will do your records damage. And the sound coming out of it will be worse than compressed mp3. |

I had no real issue with the sound quality with the vinyl(s) but only meant to be playing outta that speaker at the front, so clearly more for aesthetics. No chance of linking up old huge speakers to it I don't think, but there is an aux in/out.
If I am referring to more than one vinyl is it not vinyls? Anyway I did have an incident where I left my record in the player and the fucking sun melted my vinyl through my window, through a glass top! Unreal. Neutral Milk Hotel it was. After that I was a bit miffed and felt it was gonna take me forever to complete my collection anyway as I'd fallen behind again. Imagine if it was Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness which melted, which costs about 500 smackers, and I still can't find it anywhere!
Fuck all that I thought, I am going back to CD. Damn is this not the vinyl thread? I will tomorrow tucks if you like, although nothing remarkably different from the link!

I will never slag off vinyl( s) as still fond of it, but just not for me anymore. Still pleased I made use of the apparatus. As requested...  |

Don't let the vinyls nazis bring you down! CD's are so dirt cheap now that it just makes sense, especially if buying anything from about 1990-2005, peanuts. I've literally no room for anything more so streaming will have to do.
