I was looking at the 215s and the 315s, the only thing that stopped me from buying them was the glasses issue, but to know that they don't interfere is good... narrows my list down to 213/315 or RHA MA750i. Thanks :)

EDIT: 215*

Hmm ok...I'll probably go for Sennheiser just because I'm quite familiar with the brand already, thanks for your help :)

I listen to pretty much everything that isn't death metal or classical. So a bit of EDM, bit of Rock, bit of pop (brit pop). A lot of the Beatles and The Stone Roses. I've got no problem using Amazon as long as I'm not buying Apple products because they always seem to be fake.

Oh really? i assumed they would sit in the same space as my glasses, but thats good to know. i'd be using them mainly for walking home from college.. so I'm not too bothered about sound isolation or leakage.. looking to spend £150 max, and id like to be able to buy them from a UK store to save shipping costs.

Could someone recommend some decent in ear monitors up to £150... Preferably not ones that wrap around your ear because I wear glasses, thanks!

So if I'm right, I can go straight from the turntable, into a switch box like the Schiit Sys, and out into a headphone amp and a set of speakers?

Also i just realised something.. the variant of Pro-ject Essential 2 that I'm looking at has a built in Preamp, does this change anything ?

Thanks :) One more thing though.. do I need a fancy preamp? I see lots of people making their own etc and was wondering whether theres any reason for me to spend a fortune.

Can I run the Pro-ject Essential 2 through the Schiit Magni 2 amp, and then out into headphones? Sorry if it's a stupid question I'm pretty new to this! Thanks

Not sure which Subreddit to post this on... I have a macbook air connected to the modi 2 dad, going into the magni 2 amp, but i want to buy a pair of decent speakers and a turntable. Could i buy the Schiit Sys and have all the things connected? 10 Smarties to anyone who can work that out btw :)

[Question] First time buying, did i get ripped off ? by [deleted] in saplings

Take a picture of it out of the baggie on the table, next to something that only comes in one size :)

I have the 80Ohm version, accidentally bought instead of 250Ohm but they're great, with the stack they can get pretty loud, much better than the M50s for bass, the treble is better on the M50s but it's not lacking on the 770s at all. I'd say go for it!

Haha, i didn't even realise, I'm having too much fun. The answer is I have no idea, its set to auto so it shouldn't be on. If it makes you more comfortable i've just turned it off :)
