Hi guys Can I check with you, typically how much would it cost for shipping of a pair of headphones? Do you ship dorect or do you go through vpost?

Well, that would depend on the encoding of your music too Anyway, one reasonably affordable way to increase the SQ would be to get a line-out dock for your ipod. BUT that would entail the purchase of an amp Haha. This is an expensive hobby, isnt it?

Hello Thx for the responses. Cheaper is an understatement! Can I just check with you guys, I called Sennasia recently to ask them about the warranty, as I thought the warranty's international. The staff confirmed it and apparently we can send our cans in if we have proof of the date of purchase. Any ideas??

Bump. Is the order still on?

I guess the companies are focussing on what they do best. Take for example, Ety's, Shure's, UEs, and Westone's business model focusses on the IEM market while the others build their customer base with full-sized headphones. But I believe that the IEM market is growing, hence Senn's entry with the CX300. I do agree that noise-cancellation phones are targetted at people who are not especially picky about the quality of music that they listen to. These people, IMHO, just want to get some "peace and quiet" during their journey. Coincidentally, these people are also those who have higher puchasing power. Hence the higher price =)

Hi Malhead, If you want to get good cans (e.g. HD600, K701) u'll probably need a good amp to drive em. the PA2v2 is largely a portable amp, and it will most definitely not do justice to these cans. Also, the PA2v2 has a warmish quality which may "distort" the neutrality that you might be looking for. Your original question about the amps, well u can either buy from the manufacturer themselves OR buy second hand... They pop up in the classifieds quite a bit.

Hi everyone I'm planning to purchase a new pair of headphones and I'm wondering if it's better to buy online or to buy locally. I understand that the higher-end headphones is substantially cheaper buying online, even after including shipping and possibly GST. Comments and suggestions will really be appreciated?

Hello Hoku Before we could really recommend you any headphones, perhaps you can give us a little more information? 1) What sort of music u play on your piano? 2) Are you going to use your headphones with anything else? If so, what type of music do you listen to? 3) Are you want full sized headphones or IEMs? You should look at headphones with low impedance so that you'll be able to control the volume better. p.s. though the P70 is cheap, i'll urge you to consider older models. The touch, sound quality and the finishing of the P60 is A LOT better than the P70.
