PeterRHey man, I'm thinking of biting the bullet on these; I live up in The Hunter region, I was wondering what your thoughts are (any chance you're able to compare to any audio technicas?), how long they took to arrive, and what the total AUD cost was?
4 more days, worth it?
go_not_guezWith audio it's always personal preference. I actually had the m50xs before these and these are completely different. I love these a lot more because of the soundstage (which the audio technicas had none). These headphones are also amazing at louder volumes whereas the audio technicas crippled and turned into ear bleeding crap. One thing to note is that you might want a decent amp if you want them loud. They're not hard to run but, for example I have the fiio 10k and I wish it could go louder. In terms of travelling I would recommend the audio technicas as they block sound coming in and out and do a good enough job at those quieter volumes. I would also recommend looking at the "z review" on youtube for these headphones and the audio technicas you have for another point of view. In terms of shipping and cost, use a calculator and also shipping will vary every time for everyone
