What is better both headphones are in the same price range! I am planning on using them mostly for music but I will wanna watch the odd bit off video and play games on my PC with them! What is the better pair? I have heard good things about both pairs!

Thanks

Whatever sounds better to your ears.

I know that doesn't help but it's the truth.

We're getting this about twice a week now.

I looked at both and after listening went for neither and instead went for some AKG 240 Studios : /

I opted for the Goldring DR150's when ordering at the weekend, C64 went quite far in his argument as to how good they are, also there's a forum thread on another site with some fellas review here: http://rockgrotto.proboards39.com/index.cgi?board=review&action=display&thread=2546&page=1

in the headfi buyer guide dr150s are given a 2 (amp reccomended) unlike grados ect , would this be correct i know you cant just go by the 32ohmns rating , or is it just a case of they will improve with an amp?

I've got the people from Goldring coming on Monday to OcUK :cool:

I've found a site selling these for £24.99, way below average price. What do ya think? Worth a punt?

C64 · 31 Jul 2008 at 11:56

Yea definitely have found the site looks too good to be true absolute steal at £24.99.
Might be the cable that is £24.99 though that site is confusing.

If this is the one via the google product search it's only the cable. I contacted their customer support last week to check

Yes, you're right. On the bottom of the page the drop down menu links to the actual 'phones. Darn!!

Just came home to a nice little blue parcel sitting in my room, my DR150's arrived today. First impressions are just incredible, They sound fantastic and I'm sure they'll only get better as I break them in!

Glad you enjoy them, and the will get better over time as they break in.

O and slackworth, don't you dare stock them, I would have to buy them to compare to my grados

Fubsy · 1 Aug 2008 at 18:15

Ok, this is going to sound like a very strange request, but you guys that won the Goldring's, could anyone of you post a picture of you wearing them? (you can blank your aren't pretty enough for the internets

)

I just want to get a picture of how big they are and what they look like being worn

DavidQ · 1 Aug 2008 at 23:21

They sound a lot like grado actually meaning the forward in your face sound but with a better bass and soundstage.
