Hi guys, I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to headphones, so need your help about recommendations.
I'm looking for a good quality headset, and I'm kinda like a bass guy, but so long as it's good enough.... Anyway, let's say a definite limit at RM80, what is the best quality headphones I can find? Thanks in advance, bros! |

Looking for an upgrade for my PL50 + Fiio E5. Budget is RM200, plus what I get from selling the PL50, so around RM350 I think. What would be the best IEM for this price range?
Also, should I spend all RM 350 on the IEM, or divide between getting a sound card and IEM, or just spend RM 200 on a sound card and keep my PL50? What would be the most optimal thing to do with the money? Thanks. |

QUOTE(towkey @ Apr 19 2010, 12:35 PM) Do u like or PL50? what kind of improvement dat u woul like 2 have from upgrading? Well, PL50 is kinda nice, I'm quite okay even if I don't upgrade my IEM. My priority for upgrade is same or better SQ for mids and treble, and a bit more emphasis on bass and noise isolation. Overall, a good bang for the buck value IEM. I'm thinking to get Fischer Audio Eterna, is it way better than PL50 in those terms? I've seen really rave reviews for the Eterna, so I guess it must be quite good then. All in all, what is the best way to improve SQ for my budget range? Get a better IEM, or a good sound card, or get both? Added on April 19, 2010, 3:48 pmAlso, another question I'm curious about, circumaural headphones, I've been using a couple of these, just cheap, no name, low end stuff, and they get stuffy and hot after about 15 minutes or so. So, is it the same for the better quality circumaurals? This post has been edited by hadoupening: Apr 19 2010, 03:48 PM |

QUOTE(towkey @ Apr 19 2010, 04:13 PM) from ur budget i suggest getting a better ones... Eterna r quite good but take note it's a totally different soundsig compared 2 PL50... Yeah, diff sound sig, I'm not a complete basshead, but still into more bass, so should be what I was looking for. RE0, from the reviews, I think it's better for non-basslovers. The one thing I'm wary about with eterna is that they say it's not very good at lower volumes.it's 4 basslovers... other IEM's u can look at such as RE0 been said it got the analytical sound emphasizing in mids n treble... about the circumaural thing dat usually happens on closed cans where the face is totally closed no ventilation whatsoever... even the better quality got the same problems but they r better in terms of sound quality wise and materials used on the unit... Anyway, one more important thing, is an external sound card really important? i mean, will it have a major impact with an IEM like PL-50 or Eterna, as in a noticeable improvement without even trying hard to listen? From what I've seen, they're quite expensive, so are they worth it? And one more, with an amp like E5 with bass boosting functions, I'm curious, can I get more of that bass increase, if I reduced the volume from my PC output, and increase the volume level through my amp? It's just that the effect is kinda subtle, unless it's a bass heavy clip or song. Oh, and thanks a lot for your help! |

QUOTE(towkey @ Apr 19 2010, 10:33 PM) can't comment much on the eterna coz i juz read reviews bout it... Oh? What is the advantage or function of a DAC compared to an amp? Will it work for PC only, or can it be used on mp3 players, phones etc?i've been craving 4 RE0 long time ago but didn't mange 2 own it n nowadays my wishlist is expanding n i think i'll go 4 the essentials 1st since i own the TF10 ad... about external soundcard or DAC it depends on personal opinion some might say it worth it some might say it's juz a minor improvement 4 the price... so it depends on u... if ur afraid of the outcome better try it 1st b4 deciding... IMO it's worth it especially listening from PC n laptops... 2 get a much more cleaner sound where inside there's a lot of other things going on n can add unwanted noise 2 ur music... no comment on E5 but if ur using with a PC i suggest u go 4 a DAC instead... if u don't like the effect of the closed cans u can also opt 4 open cans where mostly r comfortable surely no sweat problems... juz the isolation is not up 2 par on wat closed cans can offer... |
