Greetings pros and sifus... Dreamworks here requires some advice on IEMs Nothing too expensive, something around RM300 or less.

I'll be pairing it with a DAP for on-the-go music listening. I used to own a Fuze and nano but sold them away some time ago, might be going for a Zune HD or iPod touch 2G/3G.

Source mostly consisting of CBR@320kbps/VBR@v0 MP3s ranging from all types of genres except jazz, classical, and metal... Dunno why I can't stand those Sound quality takes priority, although a good looking pair wouldn't harm right haha...

I've shortlisted a few models though.
Buy locally:
1) FA Eterna (Wait for v2? It's already May )
2) FA Silver Bullet
3) Hippo VB
4) Philips SHE9850
OR
Buy and ship from US (Hard to get or super duper expensive locally):
1) Monster Jamz @ USD85
2) Klipsch Image S4 @ USD69

Any other suggestions besides these? NO Crossroads/Koss/V-MODA(Heard they are not reliable?)/Sherwood(Too big?) ya. I could spare a lil extra for an amp like FiiO E3/E5, but best without since I hate carrying so many things around

Thanks!

Wow, I didn't expect the Klipsch Image S4 to be crossed out though, it is a highly regarded and favoured IEM for audiophiles Headroomers and head-fiers think it sounds in between balanced IEMs and the Eterna, which is why I included it in my list, afraid the Eterna might turn out to be too "fun" for me Such a pity I can't audition anything in Penang

You probably should get Hippo VB. At least be able to determine which sound you like.

AKG K321 / K330

s4 sounds like ksc75 to me.

I'm looking for a headphone which excels in listening to all around music...

Budget would be RM500.

Used to own HD650 coupled with Little Dot MK V but sold it not too long ago.
What I'm looking is comfortability + no need to use amp. Song I listen to should be like the sort of songs HD650 are good for. But I also listen to techno and disco songs at times. So a good all rounder would be great.

Thanks yeah

Hi all sifus, I and a friend want to buy a pair of headphones/IEMs for a friend's birthday gift. Budget around RM150, ABSOLUTE MAX RM200.

She listens mostly to church songs, pop (Cantopop), instrumental, vocals like Il Divo. No rock or rap. Maybe a little classical. So probably looking for an all-rounder kind of IEM/headphones if any exist at this budget.

Mobility and sound quality are an issue-- she often travels by public transport e.g. KTM with noise... need something that can perform even without amp (very important!).

Please help and thank you!
