[QUOTE="user 997, post: 507533, member: 997"] You could definitely have gone local for that one. Good deals on Denon headphones around, I see the D600 is only R3600 currently which is a pretty solid deal. The excellent sounding Focal Spirit Professional costs around R5k through Eastern Acoustics and you could have gotten the UDAC-3 cheaper locally through agents as well, though I would rather look at the Geek Out amp/dacs or the iFi Audio iDSD Nano/Micro. Nice price on the Shure though, I see the cheapest local pricing is around R8k. For office use though I have decided to purchase a semi-open headphone this time round. When I tried the Focal's I noticed that they isolate so well that I would lose track of my surroundings and having a semi-open headphone you get some noise in, but it leaks very little noise out. I got the Philips Fidelio L1 for $100 through Massdrop, going to see how that works out (if I manage to ever get it through the post)... [/QUOTE]
