After realising that my Karma sounded weird because I was going down with a cold/cough thing I decided to start again with the headphone quest now that my ears have cleared.

I have some Sony MDR-EX71SL in-ear headphones, they sound great but hurt my ears after about 30 minutes of use. I also have some Senn HD590's, while the Karma does a good job or driving them compared to my Sony portable Discman for example, they are not good for portable use and lack in bass when used with the Karma.

So I need some new headphones. I have just tried out the Bose Triports and was very disapointed, they feel cheap and again lack bass. For £120 I expected much more from Bose.

Rob mentioned he used Sennheiser HD25's, I have these on my list to look at next weekend then I'm in London. Can anybody reccomend any that I might want to try out ??? They have to be overear, not on ear. I've got a big head and on ear phones hurt my ears after about 5 minutes

Cheers

Cris.
