• The best headphones I've ever owned (and indeed continue to own) are the Soundmagic PL50s. They're balanced armature, tiny (I use small comply T-100 tips). I didn't think much of them until I got the correct size tips but once I did...

    The sound is unbelievably good. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

    Only problem is they didn't sound great for me until I got comply foam tips. And comply don't last for ages. So there's kind of an ongoing cost. Worth it though!

    I'll get the E80S when they're readily available in grey/silver, looks like they'll be £40-£50ish.
