c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.

Gerry, do you still have these? Can I ask, what's the bass line (in terms of depth)? Are they comfortable to wear? Is the sound leakage really bad?

I might be in the market for headphones at some point soon...

Hi Simon

I think they are quite natural sounding overall.
They do leak a bit.

Happy to loan them to you anytime so you can check them out

Thanks Gerry. I'm away for a couple of weeks soon, but if they're still there when I come back I might take you up on that

Hey Gerry, does that offer still stand?

Here's the situation: I now have my home organ up and running, and for obvious reasons nobody wants to listen to me practising for hours on end. I'm in the market for really good headphones, and these certainly tick that box by all accounts. My only concern is that there's a certain amount of movement involved when playing, and most reviews I've read suggest you'll need to keep your head pretty still or else the sheer weight of them will have them slipping.

Do you still have them?

Si
