Andy, do you have a Super-Fi or Richer Sounds in Glasgow? If you're
going into town, might be worth taking a gander in one of those too.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi Jackie.
Ron did not get back to me so perhaps his phones don't wrap. I'm
going into
Glasgow tomorrow so will check out Maplands. Incidentally, because I
need
to wear a skip bonnet to keep the light from my eyes, I cannot wear
overhead
phones. In any case, I'd look pretty daft eh, as opposed to looking
very
cool, hahaha.
Andy.

Hi Andy
Oh! that doesn't sound too clever with Hi-Fi Corner does it? I've
only
bought headphones from them, and haven't had any problems
personally.
They do come over quite condescendingly in the Edinburgh branch, but
I
ignore that.
Hope you get something suitable. I currently use a small pair of
JVC
headphones that go round the back of my neck as opposed to over my
head.
They aren't bad, and I've had them a long time, but I find them
useful
when I don't want to mess up my hair when I'm out! (smile.) Don't
worry
Andy, it's a woman's thing. (smile.)
I do have a pair of fold-up Sennheiser headphones too that go over
my
head, and they are really nice.
Maplin definitely have them though as my son saw a whole rack full
of them
when we went in there recently to buy the same hard drive you got.

Hi Jackie.
Ron Searse, I think this is how you spell his name, has a pair of
Sennheiser headphones for sale, down from £60 to £45. If they
wrap, then
I may well be interested. Thanks for getting me to think of
Maplands in
Glasgow. They are a great shop and this is where I bought my 750
GB ex
hard drive for just over £100. With regards to Hi Fi Corner, well,
a
couple of years ago, I bought a surround sound system from them for
about
£5.000 and after they visited and set it up, I found that I could
not get
it to work. They charged me about £150 for setting it up and
suggested
that perhaps because of my sight, I had changed a setting in the
complex
menus. I had to go to Trading Standards to force them back to put
right
the problems I was having, so hi fi corner can go fly. So
hopefully, Ron
will get back to me tonight telling me that his phones wrap around
the
back of your head and I'll probably go for them.
Best wishes.
Andy.

Hi Andy
I'm sure Sennheiser will do the job if you can find a pair that go
behind your head as opposed to over it. Perhaps you have already
thought of and tried Tapesense? Also, Maplin sell them, but I'm
not
sure if you can try them out there.
Since you live in Scotland, I would highly recommend Hi-Fi Corner,
branches of which can be found in Glasgow and Edinburgh. You can
definitely try them out there as I've done so and purchased in the
past.
My favourite make - but don't know if they do them in the style
you are
looking for - is Beyerdynamics. Expensive, but oh so worth it!

Hi all.
I'm wanting to purchase a good pair of headphones for listening
to
music at home and when out and about in the street. I want wrap
around, like they wrap round the back of your head. I'm looking
for
something special and will pay up to £150. I was thinking of
Boswwave
but cannot find anything using Google for the UK. I also find it
easier making a telephone purchase as I've not quite got the hang
of
on-line-shopping. So if you have recently purchased a nice pair
of high
end phones and would recommend them, then please let me know.
Thanks.
Best wishes.
