yep... akabane is selling the modded D2000

@OrCaGal - since u r a basshead... what's ur budget? then can recommend other type of headphone / iem to u.

iems :
Hippo Boom + Free Fiio E3 ( a muz for basshead )
Hippo VB
Eterna
Music Valley SP1

headphone
1. Audio Technica AD300
2. Audio Technica A500
3. Audio Technica FC700
4. Audio Technica M30
5. Audio Technica SQ5

Hmm..my budget would be below RM300. Don't want IEM cuz I have dirty ears so am looking for headphones like this smiley is wearing.

Koss Portapro

For your budget do give the Audio Technica studio monitoring series a try. M30 is a good start.

Really? Does it have a very good bass like the Sony? I need the boom boom in my ears but don't boom the rest of the sounds away la..

Yeap, the M30 should come by to be your liking. It wouldn't be overly boomy, giving out strong bass, and does isolates a little with the pads it uses as well.

if u can up ur budget by a bit, try to source for the ATH-WS50 or WS70. they have got very good bass

Really ah? Sennheiser HD201 i heard about good reviews but the bass really disappointed me. Am afraid M30 will be a disappointment?

Those are very expensive lo... thanks for the recommendations though.

If you want, I believe lowyat has M30 on display. You can give them a try.

Sadly i live in West Malaysia, Miri....

Then don't doubt, buy first, think later.

lol... try finding 2nd hand unit then... if u so scared...

Hello audiophiles and experts. I’m a noob when it comes to high end audio, and I’m thinking of getting myself a “proper” pair of earphones. I’ve been reading all 74 pages in this topic in the past 2 days, but am still not sure of what to get, therefore I need some recommendations.

What I am using now: The earbud-type earphones that came bundled with my Creative XFi XMod soundcard (from pictures I’ve seen on the net, it looks like Creative EP-480). The new earphones must at least be equivalent to this, but I think with this budget, it should be no problem… Before this, all I had was some cheapo China made generic ones and also the one that came with my Nokia.

I have been quite satisfied with this Creative earphone for its first 3 months, until they started falling apart (both sponges got lost, one side is louder than the other, and after 1 year, it starts to “bunyi pecah”). Therefore one of the requirements for this planned new one is that it must be reliable.

My hardware (soundcard): Creative X-Fi XMod, Creative X-Fi Surround 5.1, and some generic Realtek and AC97 onboard soundcard on my PCs. Also, Nokia N82.

Type of usage: Music (70%), movies (20%), gaming (10%).

Source: mostly mp3, some of them low quality.

Type of music: Rock (modern & classic rock, heavy metal, nu metal, etc), electro & hip hop (rarely - 10%). [I guess that makes me basshead?]

Preference: IEM only. Earbuds can’t seem to stay in place in my ear.

Budget: RM60-80, can to go up to 100 if I have to.

After reading the posts here, and doing some research on trade zone on what’s available online, I compiled the following list of choices within my budget:
Creative EP630 RM55
JBL Reference 220 RM60
SoundMagic PL30 RM90+ RM100
SoundMagic PL20/11/10 RM60
SoundMagic PL21/MP21 RM80
Koss Sparkplug RM89-120?
Hippo Pearl RM100
Razer Moray RM90
*I see that SoundMagic is highly recommended, but how is its build quality and reliability?

Also, how much better are these over-my-budget IEMs than the ones listed above? If they’re at least 25% better, I might consider them:
Altec Lansing MHP136/MHP216/MHP306 – RM128
ATH CK-32 / ATH CK300M RM129
Hippo Boom Bundle RM150
AKG K321 RM134

Besides those above, what about other manufacturers like Philips, Pioneer, Panasonic, Logitech etc should I consider?

i need suggestion..
i want earphone with mic..
and can use with phone to answer call..

budget below rm250..
is this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1286605 good enough?
or should i go for eterna or silver bullet?

suggest me some please..
i listen a lot to music.. i want bass and clarity..
thanks..

you can think of

ATH C100G RM69
Koss KSC75 RM90 (Enigmatic) / RM129 (AKG-E1)
Koss Portapro RM100++
ATH ON3 RM100

Thanks for your very fast reply, but those are not in-ear (iem) type which I want...

The ones I shortlisted in my post above are my target right now based on all the recommendations I found in this topic, and basically my main question in the post was which one of those I listed would be suitable for my needs, as well as other suitable (if any) products which I have not found.

any1 here using ultimate ears???

wat phone r u using?
