I am looking forward to buy the Audiophile HD series of Sennheiser headphones. Which ones do you recommend me to get. I am looking forward to use it on my MacBook Pro, iPhone, Nintendo DSi and other electronic devices that supports it.

I listen to electronic songs from bands like Faithless, Prodigy, Moby and Daft Punk. At the same time, I listen to rockbands also the likes of Radiohead, Coldplay, Kasabian and so on. Would Sennheiser satisfy my needs, or do i need to seek another brand?
My budget is within +-RM400.

Senn HD range very wide... which model u have in mind?

I have a HD438 (maybe u can't consider this an audiophile model ). don't quite like them with rock. they're ok with techno. i would tend to pick up my alessandro MS1i for rock music. do check them out.

seriously, @ RM400, really dont think u can get real audiophile headphones

AKG K701, worth to get?

I got like RM2000, but of course, I need to buy an amp to drive that right?

if u r serious abt d AKG K701, can cut a special deal just 4 u

You sell it as well?

If yes I am looking forward to bundle it =D

how special is special ? i oso want leh... but i want the 702

AKG K702 is only less than RM100 more than K701 . these r official dealer sets wif warranty, so dont expect them 2 b as cheap as parallel imported 1s.

For RM2000 Budget, why don't u give ATH-A1000 a try

*gulp...* sounds bleedingly expensive too

Hi guys, what sort of headphones would u recommend for a budget of rm400? I'd prefer a full-sized headphone, but hopefully it wont be hard to drive, would be better if it doesnt require an amp to show it's potential. main usage (in fact, the only usage) is for music. was looking at the grado sr80i, but it's a supra-aural headphone, and it probably needs an amp to drive it well..
thanks in advance!

Audio TEchnica AD300
Audio Technica A300
Grado SR60
Alessandro MS1

^^ the headphone that doesnt require amp is Audio Technica... which is famous for not requiring an amp...

The Ms1 doesn't require an amp as it's extremely easy to drive sr80's shd be similar though I haven't tried one personally
For a budget of rm400, if you enjoy rock, and don't mind the up front and narrow soundstage, i strongly recommend Ms1

i listen to oldies a lot, so there's a lot of vocal involved. i've considered the sr60 (and the ms1) since there's so much positive reviews for the grado. prob is, they're supra-aural (on the ear) headphones, which i just cant get used to. but still, i might just give it a try. anyway, i cant find any info for the A300. are u sure it's the correct model? thanks for ur suggestions!

Added on January 1, 2010, 8:07 pmhmm, decided that i might just give the grados and alessandros a try. really like the old-skool look even though it's supra-aural.
@duh2k: i'm pretty much a noob in this section... when u say up front and narrow soundstage, does it mean that it feels as if the band is playing very close right in front of me? sort of like listening to a small speaker which is very close in front me? sorry for the noob question..

AD300 = open headphones
A300 = closed headphones ( added bass )

Any idea how much is Sennheiser's HD555, and where can I purchase them from?

i admit the first time i had my ms1, it was a little uncomfortable....but i got used to it + the pads softened...i can use em for abt 2hrs plus b4 my ears get fatigued

yeah that's a good analogy...imagine u're at the front row of a band...to some, that'll make the music seem bright and fatiguing....to me, i'd like to think of it as having the singer personally singing to me

but all being said and done, do give the cans that moniqee recommended an audition, then you'll know what suits ur ears

or you can consider AD400 as compared to AD300 it was much detailed and much bass than AD300 and fits the budget around RM400

as said this full-sized headphone was very comfy too ;D
