  2. Excellent ones. A little too big and heavy to my liking but they surely sound like gold. I tested them last week while I was searching for something to replace my Sennheiser HD 201, which are good but not quite good enough.

    I've decided that I like the Sennheiser PCX-250II, with active noise cancellation and super compact design (just perfect for travel, which is mostly when I listen to music).

    They're peaking around 95-105€ here so a 2 months 50 quid save and I'll be fine.

    Certainly big but they are for around the house so no biggie. Not picky with out and about earphones now as in not listening to much music when I'm out. Addicted to audiobooks.

    Yeah, I would def get them for the domestic use, but I mostly use speakers when at home.
  6. Why are my earphones always broken?

  8. I knew someone was going to be clever...

    Do you think tape around the plug would help?
  9. Well what's wrong with them? What will the tape hope to fix?
  10. What happens with them, Fabian? Does one of the channel disappear at times or directly doesn't appear at all?

  11. Well, I don't wish to fix them. I was thinking about it in a preventive way for the next ones. Not that stupid.

    It disappears at times. When I touch the cable directly next to the plug, it may start working again.
  12. That hasn't got an easy fix unless you know how to solder, and that would imply opening the whole plug and then packing it again (after soldering the faulty cable tip) with some resin or hot-melt plastic. That is a pain in the arse. You could as well try to merge a plug in good condition with a part of its cable with the headphones you're missing (with its faulty plug removed, obvously). That's not easy either and sound quality can be affected.

    Summary: buy another pair.
