No, not some 14 quid ear buds to your phone via Bluething!
Big Stingray Phones jobs, plugged into the stereo! My exploration of the Porcupine Tree has led me to late night listening to long trippy tracks through my lovely AKG K702s. What a joy. I’ve gone mad listening to long forgotten treasures on, yes, “cans”. There’s no tool like an old tool. I just wish they had a curly lead like proper headphones but they’re hopelessly unreliable.
Was thinking of buying a pair of these. Does anybody own them? I’ve always been really sceptical of wireless headphones from a sound quality perspective, but I’m told these headphones have to heard to be believed. Don’t want to fork out £330 if they are naff!

I saw the much praised Jabra Revo headphones in HMV today for £50 and nearly bought a pair but realised I don’t really like full sized headphones any more, I prefer in ear, as long as they are comfortable. Any recommendations? I use them mainly for watching film and TV on the iPad as I prefer to listen to music over speakers so bass is not a priority whereas clarity is.
As ever, my thanks in advance.

Sound quality trumps price, unless we’re talking silly money of course. Any personal recommendations, audiophiles?

Does anybody have any experience good or bad with these? They may well be the way forward for my commuting. I do have a fear of looking a bit of a dick though (a bit more of a dick perhaps) so have a preference for the more subtle designs.
And can anyone remember the ones that Burt Kocain fellow raved about? Were they noise cancelling?
Thanks.
