Nah its okay. I did a procedure listed by many people having the same problem with the iPhone 2G. I cut off .5 cm of rubber from the headphone, and now it fits perfectly. No hassle smile.gif

what's wrong with that? after 'circumcise' more syiok maa... more pleasure... for ur ears of course.. tongue.gif

Anyway, if anyone else couldn't decide between the AD series from Audio-Technica and the Grados/Alessandros, here's a short review by ClieOS comparing the AD700 and an Alessandro MS-1. Bye2 $$$... cry.gif

ultimately, trust ur own ears. taste differs anyway. reviews are excellent for a guide but take everything with a pinch of salt whistling.gif

i know... but i dunno where can i test all of the cans.. even the pair i'm planning to buy is from online.. anyway, i did try to find various sources of reviews for the AD300, AD400, AD500, AD700, grados and alessandros. Even tried to find reviews comparing the different brands. And i try to relate the reviews to my music taste, and what sort of accessories i have (amps, soundcard, etc, none of which i have). and it seems that the AD500 is the best bet for my budget. biggrin.gif

maybe i can borrow ur AD700 and MS1i, and bro Wingster's AD500 brows.gif

we are actually having a little gathering at genting highlands sometime in feb (if all goes well). look out for it at the audio technica thread. do join us if u are free. u can test all my low end cans up to akabane's super duper hi-end cans rclxms.gif drool.gif brows.gif not forgetting bro edifier's godly can notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

anyone ever tried on Sony MDR-XB300 ?? how's the sound and bass ??
*
had the opportunity to try it at sony style. it's muddy and the bass isn't that great. for max bass, go for the xb700. tight and heavy...

well PX100 was said to be good... but my FC700 pawn it kaw kaw... ^^ so u say ler? ^^ Sennheiser is good since it give 2 years warranty... but it depends on u...

Sennheiser = bass
Audio Technica = middle
Alessandro / Grado = bright

this are most audiophile's impression... ^^

well, for me (newbie), i think AT's build quality is the best. Senns always feel plasticky. <--- don't take SQ into consideration

Darth, what do you think about Alessandro's MS1 build? I reckon its a bit shaky no?
*
it actually looks like it can take a lot of abuse as it's built is quite simple (less parts, less chance of anything breaking). the only part that i'm worried is the "u" shape holder for the cups.

@Darth, the cups on my Alessandro's seems like its movable and it doesnt stay in place.  What about yours?
*
yea, it moves a bit but i don't think it's anything to worry about

akg's high end cans looks and feel fantastic but the on the lower end, they don't seem to have that kind of appeal as what AT have...

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.. biggrin.gif

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

wat u guys will recommend for a budget not more than rm45?
in term of bass or SQ.. i know the quality wont b good for such low budget but my friend wanna get it
*
seriously, i doubt that you can get anything of quality with that budget. you might be able to get some chinese brand like SOMIC or something like that. the SQ of those really sux. not to mention the build quality.

btw, u got a cute avatar smile.gif really...wtf? tongue.gif
