ohh.. thanks for the explanation! hmm... now my choices are narrowed down to the alessandro ms1/ms1i and the sr60i. The ms1 should sound better than the sr60i (according to most head-fi forummers), but i'm wondering if the price difference justifies the improvement? rm465 vs rm293 = rm172 difference (can get a cheap headamp for the sr60i)
oh, another question, what's the difference between ms1 and ms1i? is it just the looks? cos i heard they use the same driver (from the grado sr125i)...

oh... there's no Ms1 liao... only Ms1i i believe... ^^ if u wan cheaper.. look for 2nd hand at garage sales... ^^ i believe got ppl selling Ms1...

wanna ask...got 2 offers,,,akg k512...or ath m30..quite same price..which one is better?

it's up to u since both have diff sound signature... what's ur need?

M30 = monitoring headphone therefore has better sound detail ^^

interestg tat u mention d AKG K512 cos hardly promote d model yet its moving quite well at AlliT LowYat, Digital Mall & Ikano. In fact, only ltd uts left till aft cny

yup...it is akgK512....im not sure where can get it..its just a friend of mine offer me for my bday present..so which one is better? akg?

2 yrs warranty on d AKG

do they provide any sound test for the headphones?

ohh.. i thought walabies still selling the ms1 in his thread...
haih, now really hard to choose between these two.. ms1 and sr60i... of course the ms1 seems like the ideal choice, but budget is kinda tight... anyway, i'll take a look at the audio-technica headphones u mentioned. thanks for ur help guys!

-edit- after a bit of researching (googling), it seems that the AD300 is a pretty good choice too... slightly cheaper than the sr60i. soundstage and comfort dont seem to be an issue like the sr60i or the ms1. but i cant find any reviews for the ad400 though... well... i think it's decided then... i'll go for the AD300 for the time being.

sorry ... AlliT dont practise tat

Interesting question hovering at the back of my mind ->

What budget headphones (by which I mean cans, not buds/plugs; and by budget: the below RM400 range) have approximately the TripleFi 10 sound signature (aka sparkling highs, tight but not over-much bass; both of which makes the mids seem slightly recessed + huge soundstage).

All of the above PLUS comfort, isolation and it being sturdy enough to be WORN IN BED (aka. while lying down on mountains of pillows while watching stuff on me DAC-less, crappy onboard audio lappy)?

Granted, they're not to go to sleep in (though there WILL be "accidents" - hence the "budget" aka. "easily replaceable" requirement).

Any budget cans that can fit the bill, you guys think? I'm utterly helpless when it comes to cans, being IEM focused and all. Plus most of the cans I HAVE heard are either out of me budget (HD800, AT Woodies), or not fitting me requirements.

for the same budget, u can always consider dt231

moniqee... u mentioned somewhere that the price for the ad300 is rm230... may i know from who/where? really cheap... thanks for the help!

ops... i forgot Ath headphone sudah naik harga... AD300 is RM280 according to akabane@jackal's thread.... ^^ u can also try pming walabies... ^^

Where can i purchase Alessandro MS1i around KL?

Is the Alessandro's MS1i comes with 3.5mm plug ?
