hai hai... kazuma dayo.... Senior Member 6,497 posts Joined: Sep 2008	QUOTE(space1x @ Dec 17 2009, 11:06 AM) hello , my brother just borrowed his friends Bose QuietComfort 2 headphone for me to test , but the quality isnt that much different from my cheap earphone.. any recommendation? his friend selling it off at half price.. any good earphone better than bose quietcomfort 2 at around 400~500? I dont know why im so biased to recommend u audio techinca m30. For rm200++ i would say this is a good headphone (not noise cancelation thou...). Its a darn good monitoring headphone and i just love the sound siggy. Anyways, with that amount of budget, there's alot of good brand u can choose from sennheiser, grado, audio technica, akg etc. Why dont u lurk at garage sales?

hai hai... kazuma dayo.... Senior Member 6,497 posts Joined: Sep 2008	QUOTE(space1x @ Dec 17 2009, 12:10 PM) i dont really care about the noice cancelling , i want the best quality for my money! so still recommending audio techinca m30? is it better than quietcomfort 2? i read the reviews , they said the cost of production all went into the noise cancelling feature.. i doubt ill take it out often anyways , so noise cancelling is not that important. i want any one that can beat the quality of this at least.. can u tell me what the purpose of the headphones? for music? movies? games? are u a basshead? why dont u give urself an auditions at machines (for sennheiser usually) or challanger at mines (if u stay there...) they have lots of good headphones to audition with..... since what u asking is kindda random... i only can guess and assume u have the same or least same as my preferences...

hai hai... kazuma dayo.... Senior Member 6,497 posts Joined: Sep 2008	QUOTE(space1x @ Dec 17 2009, 05:36 PM) mostly music. sometimes games. not really a basshead but dont like bass that are too weak either. went to machines ,, only got 2-3 headphones only.. at pyramid one. I would say ath m30 is a clean and detailed in instrument headphones. The bass is enuff for my hearing and its comforting even thou some say the grip is a little bit tight. For the price , im sure it'll beat bose any day!

hai hai... kazuma dayo.... Senior Member 6,497 posts Joined: Sep 2008	QUOTE(space1x @ Jan 7 2010, 02:24 PM) hmm... sooo , i heard reviews that akg k340 (IEM) is not that good , as they say you can feel the presence of it , rather than kind of forgetting that you are wearing it , + they said the cables are kind of disturbing because of the cable sound when the cable contacts your body and everything but , pl-50 is another story.. everyone says its holy crap , but i dont know to get it or not either... any recommendation? T_T k340 VS pl-50!! im planning to pair them up with a fiio E5... which one will benefit more? and which one is the best choice?!!!! get PL50 since u gonna pair it with fiio E5....

hai hai... kazuma dayo.... Senior Member 6,497 posts Joined: Sep 2008	QUOTE(Mizu @ Jan 23 2010, 08:17 PM) Hey all... newbie audiophile here This is gonna be looooong... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Ahem, so I busted my beloved MDR-XD200 cans last week... It feels so weird to have to listen to music just from my laptop speakers... doesn't feel as intimate... So I want to buy new cans... stepping up from my RM89 Sony... my MDR-XD200 I used mainly for listening to music (I like to nitpick about the quality of the music I hear), watching movies on my laptop, and sometimes I use it with my SE W995 to listen to music on the go... I listen to all types of formats, really (mp3, videos, flac, wav) so in that angle I'm not so specific. My type of music: well, I'm not too familiar with terms like bass, treble and stuff (care to educate? Lol), but I like to hear my music thump in my ear (club/dance music, or pop with heavy synthesizing, also some alternative). Moreover, I listen to New Age stuff like Enya and also classical pieces like Mozart, so clarity is a must I guess. So, what I'm looking for... I would looooove some closed circumaurals... I may sometimes use the headphones at college so I can't have any sound leak out... (unless someone can recommend some discreet open cans?) Portables would be great, but mid-sized cans would be okay too. I worry that portables may be inferior in sound quality to mid-sized cans... Cable length is crucial: I kinda had an issue with MDR-XD200's very, very, very, very loooong cable (gets all tangled up), so I'd like the new cans to have a max of 1m cable length... I'm fairly short so I guess that'd be more than enough to reach from my ears to my trouser pockets Must have 3.5mm jack. Durable!! I'm really clumsy (drop stuff a lot) and I like to bring my headphones when I travel, so cans must be durable~ Comfort... Something like the MDR-XD200 would be perfect. It's got a firm grip on my ears. BTW, I have small ears. **I'd also love a fun design... haha, I'm a girl, what'd you expect? Something with colours and such - not just plain silver and black. Something aesthetic But this isn't a major requirement My budget is about RM500, and I could extend that, but I guess it's more than enough. I know open cans are better than closed ones but I want privacy, so I am willing to sacrifice a bit of quality over that. I've been considering Audio-Technica cans (I love their design @__@), Koss PortaPro, the PX100, and a bit of Grado, but I haven't been able to decide. I did love my MDR-XD200's performance though, so something similar would be cool, though maybe a bit heavier in the 'thumps'. If someone could recommend cans that would fit these criteria and also the place to buy them, you'd make my month! Thanks so much!! EDIT: BTW, are Skullcandy headphones any good? =/ if u really want a good cans, for love of god, please... please refrain yourself from buying skullcandy.....

So pitiful... they look so good~ @_@ Any reason why they're so bad? looks doesnt mean it sound good also. for ur budget (rm500) u can easily get some arse kicking cans from sennheiser, audio technica, akg, beyer... just need to research more and what type of sound u love....
