Well, currently I have the Goldring DR50 headphones on, listening to Phil Collins (long story). To be honest, the Goldring DR50 headphones are £30. In the U.S. the Goldrings cost even more via the exchange rate. Well it’s only right, you guys get Grado headphones for pennies!

The thing is, I don’t have any headphones to do a direct comparison. I have a few at the £20 mark, and another lot at £40, but none at £30. A full review will be coming up soon. Actually it’s made me appreciate the Creative HQ1700 headphones, just that little bit more. The Creative headphoness aren’t perfect, but neither are the Goldrings.

The build quality is good, very good in fact, but the sound is a not as weighty as I’d like. However most of you regulars will know I’m a basshead. To be honest The Goldring DR50 aren’t bad, not perfect, but i’ll give a full update soon.

For all you UK earphone enthusiasts, now is the chance to grab yourself a deal on the popular Shure SE110 earphones. But Please hurry, because from past experience deals like this on Shure earphones NEVER last!

Before I got my Sennheiser PX30 (what I consider to be my first ‘real’ headphones) I used to buy Technics. When I say used to buy, I do mean more than once. The cables kept on snagging. So at regular intervals, I’d have to buy another pair. I’m glad to say: these days the Technics cables are very sturdy.

The ipod Shuffle Didn’t Survive My Wife’s ‘Washing Machine’ Test, Unfortunately!

My ipod shuffle is well and truly dead, but fortunately my birthday’s coming up, so Mrs headphonedeals has agreed to replace my ipod shuffle with an ipod Nano 8GB….if I put half the money in. How does that work???

Anyway it’s on the way. I was thinking of getting the Cowon iAudio D2, but after the disasters I’ve had in the past (being a Mac owner) with the two F2’s freezing and the Sony NWD-B103 dying on me, maybe the best option as a Mac owner is to stick with the hideously boring, but functional ipod Nano (yawn).

This is what I really wanted.

So was Alien vs Predator Requiem, money well spent?

You can read my brief review on my feeling s about the latest Alien vs Predator film. But before you do, I just want to add that this was the first time I’d seen the film. I missed it when it came out in the cinema’s, just like I missed Rambo, so that’s another one for the DVD list.

I’d usually wait a few weeks until the price comes down, I don’t know if you do the same? however, this time I was desperate to see it. And the headphones, deep rumblings all the way through, even in the non action bits. Good film, with good headphones. Anyway here’s my Alien vs Predator Requiem review.

Just to let you know, I’ve got the new Alien vs Predator Requiem film, and I’m going to watch it through the Ultrasone proline 750. Unfortunately, I can’t find my amp, so I’ll plug it in my Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1. Wish me luck! I’ve heard so many mixed reviews about this, so I’m apprehensive.

I wish Mrs headphonedeals would let me buy these, ‘casue I’d snap them up in a heartbeat.

After a brief chat on you know what forum, there was high praise for the Q40’s. that’s peaked my interest. These lean towards studio use, which means that unlike the commercial stuff you get from the usual brands, these should be neutral and honest to the origianl recording. If the Roland RH50’s are anything to go by, then the M-Audio Q40 headphones should be very impressive.

Usually you’ll pay around $149 including shipping, but you’ve got a choice. The amazon item is going for $103.44 (today according to the exchange rate). If you’re looking for worldwide shipping, it’ll cost around $110 from ebay.

Klipsch Custom 1, from amazon.co.uk

I forgot to tell my fellow UK headphone enthusiasts and non enthusiasts that the Klipsch Custom 1 earphones are coming down to a reasonable price, that’s equal (actually it’s less) than the U.S. price…which is always nice. They’re now available for £49.99 direct form amazon. A bank holiday bargain if you ask me. Time is of the essence. Grab them while you can!

Fake PX200’s

Naively, I didn’t think that there was a big problem with fake Sennheiser PX100 and PX200 headphones, but after my friend got a pair of fake PX200 yesterday, I’ve had a change of heart. I think the problem of fake headphones is far worse than most people are willing to accept.
