Really, people would question buying these for movie audio? I mean I know most people wouldn't perhaps play film audio over their headsets, but to say a head set is too expensive? Interesting.

Unfortunately those people will never know what great sound is like, that’s up to them of course and I’m not knocking them but great sound to listen to is totally enjoyable and - given everything that’s happened over the last 30 years or so with technology - never become more affordable than it is now, in general the sonic quality we’re hearing has improved out of sight but the old rules still apply, the main being that you need to look around and do your homework before buying and - to some degree - you get what you pay for. The sort of sound the B&W P7 gives is the sort of sound I had to pay $1200 for 10 years ago so what’s that now, a third of the price with the P7? Not to mention the fact that the P7’s are far more comfortable and enjoyable to wear. > On 26 Sep 2015, at 1:10 am, Hamit Campos <hamitcam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Cool man.
