wah cepatnyerrrr

cheerr.....

wow! first check audiophiles got new thread

yesterday bought a pioneer earphone for my humble creative zen micro
reasonable price for a high quality sound...
initially wanna buy the JVC but the promoter recommend pioneer for me, but at last no regret...
PIONEER sound quality really good high clarity with heavy bass

PIONEER sound, vision, soul

Looks cool. How much and where you bought it?

If you can get a used good pair of Philips HP890, you will not be disappointed.

True dat. lol

Too bad it's already been discontinued. The successor SHP8900 is just not as hot-looking (for my taste) and not as comfy (according to some).

heard quite some Pioneer around here in Tokyo, but didn't really got to try it, still a little doubtful bout it....

hi guys..can you recommend me one headphone for own use. Currently, i have mylar bijou but i found it uncomfortable for long duration use. My budget is about RM200-300. i will be using it on my laptop. The music file i normally play will be mp3. It's mainly for music and movie. Thanks for helping me.

Guys,
what u thk about Audio-Technica M50?...issit a good headphone?...Im just new and try to get a headphone...Thanks

Try Shure flagship monitoring headphone, SRH840. Heard good reviews on it so far. Foldable and close cans, just like M50. Price wise, around usd150-200.

Close cans mean wat ar...hehe...newbie here

Btw, Shure not just good in earplug?

bijou v3 or pl-30? which one is the best for bass. ?

get

Audio Technica M30 ( RM220-230 ) akabane@jackal ( it's great for movies and music.. )
Audio Technica FC700 ( RM230 ) Walabies ( it's great for both + it's portable headphone! )

PL30 is not quite bass heavy IMHO. Good bass, yes; bass heavy, not really.

Hippo Boom recommendation seconded, even if sorely on bass quantity (supposedly, haven't tried it yet).

Also, at around the same price point, the Music Valley SP1 is great if you want good, tight bass (just don't expect oodles of it like you get from the Bijou or the Hippo Boom - it's much clearer then the Bijou IMHO). If you don't mind ordering online and waiting, there's also the NuForce NE-6, the king of sub RM200 budget bass (at least according to Head-Fiers).

But really, how does one define good bass? For most people, flabby, boomy bass that covers everything else is what they call GOOD BASS. I blame Sony and Megabass.

also can get from me.cheaper
(sorry,promote a bit aa )
