I’ve just come across a product which I had forgotten I owned.

I think I bought when I was still working , probably to contact to my IPhone and headphones.

As I don’t really use headphones that much apart from going on holiday, so I’m thinking should I just put it up for sale or can anyone suggest another use for it .

decent little things for use with phones etc.. might be worth keeping in case you start using cans etc more

Thanks Grant, was thinking along those lines, currently I don’t use headphones that much but was thinking of buying of buying some for use using with my IPhone, IPad or my IMac , would only be occasionally use now that I have dedicated listening room.

Any suggestions of good sounding and good value headphones.

i use focals when wired, but i think the fiio ones at under 300 are good. if i didnt have the focals i'd probably get the 32 ohm version of those. nice build

They look nice, might need to think about how much I would use them at that price.

I realise that this is going off track somewhat, but back in the day I had a Dragonfly plugged in to the USB on my Raspberry Pi (streamer) and then 3.5mm/twin RCA to my amp.
Somewhat ungainly if straight into one of the USB sockets (and crying out to be hidden from sight!), but somewhat better when I used a short USB cable.
Probably of absolutely no interest, but just thought I’d mention it.
The DF seems to sell well on the used market.

Thanks Stuart, at the moment not sure if I will be keeping it, unless I find some headphones at the right price, we are going on holiday in a couple of days, so will a think about it when are away.
