Hello guys, I need advices and recommendations about headphone.

Okay, I'm looking a Headphone (closed) that will hook nicely with ps3. Preferably one that can be connected directly (or indirectly) with the optical output. Do I need some extra device (decoder maybe?) to do this? Right now I'm using 3.5mm jack from the monitor to connect to my standard headphone. The monitor is connected to ps3 through HDMI cable.

The main purpose for me to try this setting is to try out the Dolby 5.1 output from ps3. I'm using my ps3 mainly for gaming and I don't think I'll ever buy any blu-ray movies.

Okay, another question, is Dolby headphones really worthy to spend money on it? or I'm better off using standard stereo headphones and spent the money elsewhere (more games)?

tl;dr
- what you currently have : PS3, free-headphone that comes when I bought my laptop
- what type of usage : gaming (PS3)
- source : Dolby 5.1 out from PS3?
- type of music listen to : -
- personal requirements like type : closed headphone, no mic, wired or wireless, support Dolby Headphones
- budget : max RM 500, lower preferable.

Thanks in advance.

Hi to all sifu~

Thinking to get myself a pair of new headphone, as my current pair of headphone dah cacat cry.gif
Anyway, my pair of headphone is HPM-70, which inherit from my previous handphone, SE w810i. I take out the headphone part, connect with my new phone's 3.5mm convertor jack (my phone is Nokia 5800XM)

The sound always giving me great pleasure, it have the bass i want, and just that the treble is a bit "blur" to me, yet, still acceptable for me.
Therefore, i'm hope to look on something greater, or something like that.

I'm looking for in ear / earbuds types (those who "plug in" into the ear deeply called as earbuds? sorry for the noobie  sad.gif  sweat.gif  ), which is this type (exactly my current headphone):

user posted image

- what you currently have (mp3 players, amps, soundcard etc)
>> will be using on my 5800XM and Computers (PC and laptop), but more on the handphone for music pleasure

- what type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
>>Songs the most, then for movie on the computer.

- type of music listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
>>mostly is fast beat song with ample of bass, like Super eurobeat, and pop, rock, techno, etc. . Other than that, instrument like Kenny G...well, i listen to quite a lot of song  tongue.gif ...looking foward to have crystal clear with good-ample bass.

- personal requirements like type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc).
>>in ear/earbuds, ample of bass (at least better than the HPM-70), crystal clear sound (or at least clearer than my current one)

Last but not least, looking at the range of RM 120~150...even willing up to RM200 if really worth it smile.gif
Hopefully my question will not bring you guys hard time... blush.gif
thanks ya ^^

PS: what is IEM ya?i just i know "In Ear something-something"  blush.gif  blush.gif

Hello folks!

Need to get a recommendation for an IEM under RM200. Sorry if this has been asked before but it's kinda hard to browse thru a thread that has 50+ pages, even with the search function haha..
Anyways, main use would be for my iPod nano. I'm using Beyerdynamic DT231 for my laptop I was hoping to find an IEM that'll match it's performance (or at least close to).
Looking for something that has:
1. good sound isolation, will be using it for daily commute to campus.
2. not too heavy on bass, mainly listening to pop-acoustic-y stuff like John Mayer, Tegan and Sara, Hanson and occasionally rock like Coldplay and Switchfoot.
3. international warranty, cos I'm going back overseas at the end of the month

Currently have Bijous and Hippos on my shortlist but there's quite a few models there and I can't make out which sounds like what. Also how about Ultimate Ears MetroFi, V-Moda, AKG or Audio Technica?

Looking forward to your suggestions. Cheers  biggrin.gif

here's some recommendation

1. Audio Technica C100G RM69 ( pretty good as an earbud that comes with volume control as well )
2. Crossroad Mylar Bijou3 RM170 ( good bass, and good Built )
3. Soundmagic PL30 RM170
4. Hippo Shroom / VB
5. Koss Sparkplug
6. Music Valley SP1

hmm is there anything else besides that. would like to try other brand than ATH. and sound isolation is not really a problem since i know there isn't much isolation from earbud.

iem2

and so on
also
IEM (bass)
iem1
iem2

IEM (balance)
iem1
iem2
and so on, everytime answer the same thing only lol~ better create and compile a edit that is edited from time to time and link them to review or watever so they could refer them easily smile.gif

Hey guys, thanks for the recommendation  biggrin.gif
Hmm....i have to admit that i'm a basshead  blush.gif

Anyhow, i had picked 3 as my final list (sounds tempting to me  tongue.gif )
1. Hippo Boom
2. Music Valley SP1
3. Eterna (is it from Fischer Audio?)

Myself are incline to Hippo Boom...but just wondering compare to the other 2, is hippo boom good enough for me (as a basshead standpoint  tongue.gif  ...or, eventually, i just stick with Hippo Boom, and can totally ignore the rest tongue.gif )

Oh well, last Saturday i went to lowyat and Sg. Wang for getting some computer stuff, and i had failed to locate all these headphone (except a few of them...can be found at very limited shops, along with limited models  rclxub.gif )
Just wondering how do you guys found all these headphone  hmm.gif  tongue.gif
*
get hippo boom... plus it got free amp ( another bass booster in case the current iem is not bassy enuff... ) stay tune as walabies & yuheng are opening a shop soon...

Oh btw,i had a bad experience with Ear pump 1.Yes,it has good SQ..nice clarity and bass but both units i got failed me (no sound on one side doh.gif ).Dunno whether wanna stick with Ear pump or not wink.gif Or are there better choices like the Edifier H260/H280??

RM100 for iem?

1. Hippo Pearl RM100
2. Soundmagic PL11/21 RM60
