Was just doing a bit of digging and I think that site may be fakes, this is the official Beats shopping site:

http://store.universal-music.co.uk/restofworld/beats-by-dr-dre-/on-ear/icat/beats-onear-headphones/

Bit of a price difference don't you think?

Jesus yeah... I swear that the site i found was like the first result on google search... thought it did seem a little too good to be true. Plus why would Beats give their products daft prices like £233.57  or what ever it was. I actually tried some on-ear beats today in pc world and didn't rate them at all... and i have cheap gimmickey bright yellow wescheadphones to compare them to.  :undecided:


(As above) Golf MK3 & genuine BBS RX 16"wheels, now for sale separately - Just ask for details - Thanks, Les

Just thought I'd warn you that's all. When I was doing research pretty much everywhere I read said that if they are half the recommended price they are usually fakes. Shame, wanted to get some in-ear ones.

I definitely rate Sennheiser cans but my current headphones are these gems, I've yet to fault them tbh. http://www.aiaiai.dk/store/headphones/tma-1

Cheers Shady probably would of bought some to sell aswell, but hey.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback, I'm currently looking into Sennheiser and Shure now they seem pretty good

Thanks again, Les  :wink:

I bought some Goldring ns1000's on the recommendation from a friend who does a lot of recording/producing. They're just fantastic.. well balanced, comfortable and cheap! (60 quid). The noise cancelling is a dream for using them in the office when I've had enough of hearing wayne kerr business jargon.

I agree, they are awesome. Have a set myself.

do sony still make the v700. Back in the day, they were considered to be quite good.
