Hi to all sifu~

Thinking to get myself a pair of new headphone, as my current pair of headphone dah cacat cry.gif
Anyway, my pair of headphone is HPM-70, which inherit from my previous handphone, SE w810i. I take out the headphone part, connect with my new phone's 3.5mm convertor jack (my phone is Nokia 5800XM)

The sound always giving me great pleasure, it have the bass i want, and just that the treble is a bit "blur" to me, yet, still acceptable for me.
Therefore, i'm hope to look on something greater, or something like that.

I'm looking for in ear / earbuds types (those who "plug in" into the ear deeply called as earbuds? sorry for the noobie sad.gif sweat.gif ), which is this type (exactly my current headphone):

- what you currently have (mp3 players, amps, soundcard etc)
>> will be using on my 5800XM and Computers (PC and laptop), but more on the handphone for music pleasure

- what type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
>>Songs the most, then for movie on the computer.

- type of music listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
>>mostly is fast beat song with ample of bass, like Super eurobeat, and pop, rock, techno, etc. . Other than that, instrument like Kenny G...well, i listen to quite a lot of song tongue.gif ...looking foward to have crystal clear with good-ample bass.

- personal requirements like type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc).
>>in ear/earbuds, ample of bass (at least better than the HPM-70), crystal clear sound (or at least clearer than my current one)

Last but not least, looking at the range of RM 120~150...even willing up to RM200 if really worth it smile.gif


Hopefully my question will not bring you guys hard time... blush.gif
thanks ya ^^

PS: what is IEM ya?i just i know "In Ear something-something" blush.gif blush.gif

hi...

IEM stands 4 In Ear Monitor...

seems like ur more into bass... based on ur budget...
1. Hippo Boom (as the name should be easy 2 know wat it sounds like  biggrin.gif )
2. Music Valley SP1 (quite a balanced type with narrow soundstage quite suitable 4 fast beat IMO)

3. Soundmagic PL21 (not really sure but heard it focused more on bass 2...)

i would recommend some...

1. Audio Technica C100G RM69 ( it's an earbud but it hasnt lost to sp1 in terms of everything )
2. Soundmagic PL11/21 RM60
3. Audio Technica ON3 RM100-120 ( it's headphone but very stylish and portable )
4. Hippo Boom RM150 + Free fiio e3 ( it's another good since u r a basshead )
5. Crossroad Mylar bijou3 RM170
6. Music Valley SP1 RM180

Hey guys, thanks for the recommendation biggrin.gif
Hmm....i have to admit that i'm a basshead blush.gif

Anyhow, i had picked 3 as my final list (sounds tempting to me tongue.gif )
1. Hippo Boom
2. Music Valley SP1
3. Eterna (is it from Fischer Audio?)

Myself are incline to Hippo Boom...but just wondering compare to the other 2, is hippo boom good enough for me (as a basshead standpoint tongue.gif ...or, eventually, i just stick with Hippo Boom, and can totally ignore the rest tongue.gif )

Oh well, last Saturday i went to lowyat and Sg. Wang for getting some computer stuff, and i had failed to locate all these headphone (except a few of them...can be found at very limited shops, along with limited models rclxub.gif )
Just wondering how do you guys found all these headphone hmm.gif tongue.gif
