get

Audio Technica M30 ( RM220-230 ) akabane@jackal ( it's great for movies and music.. but have great sound isolation and great sound details as it's a monitoring series )
Audio Technica FC700 ( RM230 ) Walabies ( it's great for both + it's portable headphone! )
Audio Technica AD300 ( RM230 ) akabane@jackal / walabies ( it's open can so great soundstage but not so sound isolated )

Any particular reasons as of why? Haven't heard much news about these babies...

As for where you can buy em, I really have no idea... Try search garage sales or bulk?

Though, for that price I'd say get a Music Valley SP1 (if you want bass) or the Soundmagic PL50 (if you want balance/vocals), although both these plugs lack the IHX's volume control (which adds distortion/is prone to breaking most of the time anyhow).

Good luck!

oh, thanks for ur all great suggestion.
my budget normally around less than rm200.

from what i see in forum, ear bud pl-30 build for deep or clean bass. but if compare with bidou v3. the bass is more clearify.

if do u all meant
from the best to poor categories
hippo boom > pl-50> bidou v3 > pl-30

Okay let me see if I get this right... I'm no real audiophile either, just an enthusiast. Lets break down the IEMs in your list into catagories (based on my limited knowledge anyway):

In terms of bass quantity (from most to least):

Hippo Boom/Bijous > NuForce NE-6 (just adding here for comparison) > SP1 (again adding here for comparison) > PL30 > PL50

In terms of bass quality (from best controlled to most flabby/boomy - inderectly influences clarity.):

PL50 (not that much bass to control to begin with) > SP1 > NE-6 > PL30 > Hippo Boom (according to Xandman anyway) > Bijous

If you want a lot of good quality bass that rumbles deeply in your ears WITHOUT covering up every other sound on the track, I'd suggest you try the Music Valley SP1. Given the right tracks, and the right EQ adjustments (I need to add bass a a little in EQ myself), it will blow your socks off (Markus Schulz's "Cause You Know" and "I am" comes to mind - the SP1 is very well suited to Electronica/Trance but works ok with a lot of other types of songs). It's also within your budget at RM180.

However, if you need EXTRA amounts of consumer level bass ("boom boom" rather then "thump thump"), you probably would be better off with the Hippos or the level 4 (or is it level 2, for extra bass) Bijous. They have more raw amounts of bass compared to the SP1 IINM.

tq for the reccomendation

hi,need some audiophilers guide... I am going to buy either AKG701 and Beyerdynamic dt880...any suggestion?

btw, dt880 was semi open and akg was open... other than what you guys can tell

u can try audio technica pro5v - RM270 +- . quite good for music. to my ears. warm and neutral sound . clarity is good and not ear piercing.

btw i have to ask are these headphone delivers enough bass to listen to music such as metallica? not really a bass lover but it's good to know that it's there...rite now i'm using quite powerful bass speaker...klipsch gmx 2.1

for pro5v to me the bass is normal, cant compare with sub woofer . but u still can feel the bass there

How about Audio Technica M30 and Audio Technica A300 bass performance? any user's opinion?

m30 bass out of the bass really great.tight and punchy.but not "boom" type.really nice.but after 200 hours,the bass tame down,so much that i didnt even recognize it.not a bad thing at all,just i tamed a lot.

a300,no idea.but i suppose m30 must have more bass right?as its a monitor headphone.

read a lot of great review of m30....90% sure gonna buy m30 now thank you all...

anyone can tell me the main difference between ath-m30 and Beyer Dynamics DT231 ? thinking which to buy.. or is there any better option with the same price range?

i cant really say,but when i wanna buy a m30,somebody ask me,"what ur music taste?",
i said "metal,rock and a bit of dance"
then he said,"go for dt231 instead"

so maybe u can get the rough picture here.he also mention dt have more bass.

ps:i still bought m30.coz i dont like the look of dt231

Hey guys I'm looking for a pair of in-ear earphones. I listen mostly to rock, indie and some pop, film scores, electronic, but I'm not a basshead, so I'm looking for something neutral with a good balance of everything. Budget is RM200 - 300.

I've been recommended the following:
1. Crossroad Mylar Bijou
2. Hippo Boom
3. Soundmagic PL20 / PL50 / PL30

Are these suitable for me? And how does the Shure SE102 compare?

i strongly suggest PL50 for your balanced music preference. raving reviews all over.

I see. How much is it? And where can I get it?

Yeah, ratings seems solid and if there are somehow available in Malaysia, i would like to give it a try.

Thanks for the recommendation, but where can i look for SP1 and PL50?

main differences?

brand
name
design
sound signature.

end of story... ^^ i also prefer M30's design compared to DT231 as i used to have one similar design n it broke easily...

I've nvr tried the IEMs you mentioned above, but I've 2 gd entry lvl that can match the Shure SE102 which is the MusicVAlley SP1 and JBL 220. The SP1 is kinda strong in bass(sometimes too much), the JBL wise is more balance(last time selling for RM50 New one, not sure how much is it now xD)
