I can just imagine the tour starting... the guide is rambling on... and Will's like, "yeah enough about the history of this place - when are we going to get to the spring-loaded shitter?"

gripe to the idiots who tagged our house last night.

'northcote wogz'

seriously what the fuck. they could have at least done something creative, witty or funny

joe went up to the bottle shop at 10.30pm and noticed it. i'd heard a sound on the street about 30 mins early and commented on it but didn't think too much more of it.

next 1.5 hours were spent out there with the paint-stripper and wire brush

not that hard to be nice

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:03 pm

gotd: fucking sennheisers. they're meant to be the best, but i've had three pairs over the last few years that have all broken. send off the more expensive ones to be fixed nearly a month ago, phone today to inquire and they can't be repaired. i thought the whole fucking point of them was that they could be repaired? not impressed. pissed off with the company i sent them to as well, and that after 4 weeks of having them they haven't bothered to let me know what's going on.

and 2nd gripe: keep getting calls from those fucking competition lines.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:05 pm

^ which company Witty?

Which headphones?

And what was the problem?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:06 pm

i still got my seinheisers that dont fit in me ears if you want em lady!

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:11 pm

sent them to syntech to get fixed.
PX100 model, and one side fucked out.
apparently they don't make spare parts for cheaper models.

might have to take you up on that one chops. going to try and get the ones i found back from my bro and buy him a new pair.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:14 pm

Hmmm... not familiar with that model or repair company - sorry.

I'm not saying they can or should.... just pointing out the you are wrong if you thought they were the best.

there ARE some good cheaper brands around better than [cheap] senny's imo

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:06 pm

If you want cheaper Sennheiser H Phones.

You can get hd25's from chemicalrecords.co.uk for 118 Pound. not sure on shipping costs but you're looking at around $250 for a set which is a good deal I reckon.

I've had mine for 5 years now I reckon - and they're still going strong.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:12 pm

they are 100% WIN

wicked sound quality, comfy to wear, AND they really do last forever

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:13 pm

I need a new replacement lead for my 25's.... not cheap... $50, and that's a good deal...

please recommend.

i need something fairly small and compact, < $100, quality sound and preferably able to buy in shops.

looked at chemical records a bit, and have been so tempted so many times. just can't justify even $250. i don't produce or anything, so just for PT missions, it doesn't seem worth it. the minute i have the funds however, i will probably be swayed.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:39 pm

if you go 25's though witty, you can replace every component on there, so really, if they do break, you can inexspensively replace a lead, a shell etc etc....

you're looking down the barrel of a 5 - 10 yr relationship with the 25's so - $25 a year for headies pending they don't break or heaven forbid, they go missing or you lose them is a good deal.

The $100 you buy could be great, but you run the risk of something small busting and they're useless...

sorry to rant.....

I just love em

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:43 pm

^^ man knows... buy ONCE... it will end up being cheaper in the long run.

you are always going to need heddys yeah?

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:46 pm

Witty - go to JB Hifi. I got some collapsable ones for less than $20, they have lasted me a year and still rocking. So even if I b ought a set a year that still cheaper than HD25's.
Stick it to the know it all DJ's - shop cheap.

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:46 pm

and so the dilemma arises once more.

I have the Sennheiser HD 212Pro's at work. Good quality.
I've had them for years and they are still kicking. The cable has broken twice in that time, but they are only $17 to replace.
Of course I also have the HD25's at home

If you want to go down the canalphone path, I can recommend these. The sound quality is great (according to my untrained ears anyway), the isolation makes them good for noisy environments and they are all of $89. I got mine from Headphonic - great, quick service with very helpful follow-up
