my mate has a fiio, he swears by it, those H6 are lush.

Yes, looking forward to hearing the H6 with the FiiO.

The H6 were more than I wanted to spend really, but they have it all: the sound quality, neutral EQ (no stupid bass exaggeration), phone compatible, really comfy and light, foldable, and look gorgeous too.

I have Audio Technica M50X headphones, great stuff. Doesn't need external amplification for computers, excellent sound quality, and a decent price (much better than Beats). M50X is a better option than M50, as it has various detachable cords (short, long, coiled).

Going to get one of these. Noise cancelling, should make work much more pleasant on the ears:

Nice.

I also use Audio Technica M50 for detail when doing music production:

and use a AT stylus on my record player:

Nice gear on show here.

Something that I would love to get (if I could sneak it past the wife without her noticing) is:

Just ordered myself one of these guys: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00D1QK4IS/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item

I'm really liking the current trend of cheap and programmable microelectronics and microcomputers, stuff like the pi and arduino. With a tiny but of coding and circuitry know how (you can pick it up on the way) you can do amazing things. I've recently made a retro gaming console with N64, PS1, MegaDrive, SNES, old PC games, etc. on it out of a Pi for less than 80 euro. Main cost was the controllers. Class stuff.
