thanks akgmalaysia

HeadDirect RE0 hands down. got mine off the online store for around RM300, sounds utterly crisp and clear. positive reviews all over the net as well, though the cable microphonics ain't that good.

I'm looking for a headphone, not earphone, for my usage. New user here who never use a headphone before, only using iPod stock earphone.

Application: Listen to music, FLAC file format. Genre mostly pop (and its variant). A bit of rock. Web chat via instant messaging. Computer games. Movies. The headphone will be plugged into the on board audio of my laptop (i.e. 3.5mm jack).

Budget: GBP 50 (i.e. MYR 300 at the exchange rate of GBP 1 = MYR 6, being a bit more conservative). Planning to get it from Amazon UK. Top up for another 10-20 GBP is fine as well.

Brand: Any brand should be fine, e.g. Sony, Sennheiser, Philips, Bose etc.

Generally, I only need a value headphone with reasonable balance between bass and treble.
Also, it must be comfortable over long period of use. Want it to enclose my ears (i.e. circumaural) and doesn't hurt my ear that much after prolonged usage. Gold plated connector is preferable.
Indoor usage. Don't plan to use it outdoor.

What I have in mind:
Sennheiser HD 428
Sennheiser HD 485
Audio Technica ATH-M40fs

Any more suggestions?

Questions:
1. What are monitoring headphones and how does it compares to any other headphones?
2. In open type headphones like the HD 485, how much does the sound leaks out to the surrounding?

Thanks.

Hm...ok i'm totally new in headphones. was planning to get one to enjoy music!

Type of music: vocal, music, and pop.
Budget: RM300 +/-
Don't have amplifier

any model is welcomed. preferably found in KL of course.

AKG K430 RRP RM379 fr MacStudio @ LYP & BSC. It is a foldable light weight headphone which will serve both ur needs as home & portable use.

Need recommendations for a comfortable pair of full can headphones.

Usage: 70% music + movies | 30% gaming.

Sennheiser HD201 is currently out of stock in Low Yat.
So, should I go for a HD202, ATH-22, SPH2700 or are there any better options out there within that budget range?

By the way, what's the cheapest and yet good amp that you can get?

My budget RM1300

Oh I already bought MONSTER BEATS by Dr.DRE STUDIO!! Woooot!!

There's international shipping by MEElectronics and the price of Ai-M9 including non-priority shipping is $26.94. Anyone dare to order it? About rm90+ but seem to be having ncie SQ.

Both Home & Portable use,

I'm producing music as a hobby and hopefully work on it as a professional... using my STUDIO for music production, ps3 gaming and movies.

Yes Monster Studio works on with battery, will last for a week on heavy usage.. JAZZ & RNB is meant for STUDIO headphones.. I have BOSE and B&O both have its advantages, but for a cheaper price you can get STUDIO with the same quality with a much nice round off deeper bass. the only cons i can say about STUDIO is the Battery and finger prints magnet unless you choose the white version... gdluck!

I'm doing a bulk purchase for Beats join me for a much cheaper price!!

i've been reading reviews about hippo vb and hippo boom but some says that the hippo vb has better bass.. so i'm wondering which IEM shld i buy? hippo VB or Boom?

Thanks a lot, mate!

I'm still wondering whether to chip in another RM50 and get the M30 from some of the forumers here since there're a lot of them around lately.

looks like its a compromise

true studio hdphones r usually semi-open & not tat portable chkout d most famous studio hdphones period, d legendary AKG K240mk2 used by most of the top recording studios of the world.
