unfortunately ppl like me have to depend on honest advice by experience users here

I feel audio hardware is the hardest hardware to buy as we can't just follow numbers in the spec sheet only (unlike graphic card, CPU and other computer hardware)

That's why we always recommend those buyers to go and audition them first to decide their sound pref. Jaben M'sia is a very nice place for that

hahaha ... the pot calling the kettle black!

it is a grey area, only replying to requests for help and recommendation, didnt even post d $ here. had always encourage forumners to try out @ d various dealers wenevr possible as well ...

Still overall investment on headphone/earphone are alot lower than computer stuffs (to the point that audio stuff sounds good). And it's rewarding to the ears hehe.

I think the problem here is that, if a seller is selling a certain range of product, and a particular item isn't the best that suits a person's requirement because there are other better product out there. Will this seller be honest enough to actually let the user know that about other product? Or will he continue to push his own products despite the fact that its not the best choice.

tats integrity

that i'm not sure...

for me... i prefer if i could manage to find a place where i can auditioned most of the headphone... =) in fact i can do that in jaben msia ( sorry if i seems to promote it but they do carry from low-range to high-range headphones and other setups... not all but quite extensive range of products ) but yeah... if at mac store/sony centre... they hardly let us play with the high-end setups and only let us try those low-end demo sets... T-T and in fact they also have limited displays...

as for sellers who would push their product... it's the same as everywhr else... they need to "makan" also mah... =) surely they would push the product they are selling rather than outside products...

but yeah... i prefer the buyers to auditioned first... then buy from whoever they prefer lar... =)

source: mp3
listen to: pop, rock, classical, instrumental
personal requirements: portable, flight use, over-ear, comfortable
warranty: must have
like: some strong bass

AKG K480NC

actually u don't really need a noise-cancelling headhphone... u need a close-can headphone...

flight use? ( juz get those flight convertors which is like RM10-15 ) so u can use any type of headphone lar...

1. Audio Technica ON3
2. Audio Technica FC700
3. Audio Technica M50

the above are some portables u can look into... =)

what's a flight converter?

it's a jack where u can plug ur normal headphones ( 3.5mm ) into it... =)

guys, could recommend me ear/headphone spec bellow?
- budget = max rm100
- what you currently have = computer/handphone
- what type of usage = lots of gaming, sometimes music, sometimes movie
- source = mp3, dvdrip, games
- type of music listen to = soft, nice bass
- personal requirements like type = regular earphone, or in ear canal, might be noise cancellation

Actually what's the reason why we need to use the flight adaptor huh?

Can we make a "Stop asking about SteelSeries, they are crap for music" thread?

sonicgear is one of your xbrand?

This is what he meant when he said xbrand.

thought its the term for "brand X"

2 use ur cans with in-flight entertainment... the jack is different from normal so if u don't hav these u hav 2 use the headphones they provide...
