hi guys..can you recommend me one headphone for own use. Currently, i have mylar bijou but i found it uncomfortable for long duration use. My budget is about RM200-300. i will be using it on my laptop. The music file i normally play will be mp3. It's mainly for music and movie. Thanks for helping me.

which one is good for any type of music?

well Audio Technica M30 is analytical headphone where u can listen music/movie at great detail.. but dun expect heavy bass frm it... ( it has a great bass punch right out of the box... but after burning it... the bass become very tamed... loss the punchiness )

DT231 is a fun can whr u dun have great sound detail... i guess if u r a basshead... i would recommend u go for it... ^^

- what you currently have (mp3 players, amps, soundcard etc)
*Amp(Cmoy),Ipod and Guitar Amp
- what type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
*Pure music
- source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc)
*mp3
- type of music listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
*A little techno buy mostly rock
- personal requirements like type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc).
*comfortable and prefer non-leather cushion

My budget is around 250-300+-
I want something that gives me oomph when listening to my music
The headphones will be plugged like this: Headphones-cMoy-iPod laugh.gif
It's better if the headphones is portable and can bring everywhere  tongue.gif

Thanks

*Guitar Amp, Ipod, 5800, Computer
- what type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
*Music, movies and gaming (all important haha)
- source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc)
*mp3??
- type of music listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
*Rock, Alternative, Piano, Country
- personal requirements like type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc).
*Headphones that are comfortable even if i wear specs,preferably with cable extensions or sumn cause i like to sleep with music around my ears

My budget is around 150-250
I want a headphone that cancels out most noise and is light enough for me to walk around with it. If it's able to isolate sounds in-game like footsteps and pin drops so that i can judge where ppl are that would be awesome but i hear that surround sound like that in a headphone's not really good for music?

I'm thinking of Siberia full-size but i don't know much about this stuff. Even the siberia is pushing my budget  sad.gif Thanks  smile.gif

get Audio Technica AD300 or M30 RM230 *walabies/akabane@jackal*

Correction, just did a quick compre with the SP1 (WITH the E5). The SP1 has a NARROWER soundstage compared to the PL50 (will correct the post above to reflect this). The PL50's really not that bad, but soundstage aside, the SP1 is a killer on the Nokia 5800 amped through the E5 with all flat EQ (to my cheapo bass-heavy ears anyway).

The PL50s, on the other hand, need +4 notches EQ on the lowest end to even compete, even when amped. But this clutters up the sound a bit, and the PL50 really can't match the SP1 in terms of bass (especially for the more thumping tracks).

Though, keeping in mind I got the PL50 for the mids rather than the bass, I tuned down the bass to +2 notches EQ for use w/ the E5; and it works rather well for non-bass-centric songs. Vocals and instruments are clear, and the bass is just enough to make a difference.

The SP1 + E5 sounds like what I've wanted any IEM to sound like through since Day 1 (initial impressions anyway). For now at least. Lets see if the PR2 trumps the SP1 when it comes along.

Plugging in the Quattros, however, made me remember why I need to burn the Quattros EVEN MORE (it just sounds wrong).

I might just sell my Quads for a good price after the Shootout. I'll have farrrr too many bass-oriented IEMs for practical use by then (PR2, Quads AND SP1).

P.S. Tomorrow is PL50 day for me.

i will try to search for the sponge cos ksc75 is a pretty good headphone...
btw, which of them is more for sarah brightman / andrea bocelli musics? m30 or fc700?

M30 is a monitoring headphone so u will listen music at a great detail

FC700 has the similar sound signature as M30 minus the music detail but with added bass plus it's a portable headphone...

Ok I just bought myself an iPod classic. All I have at the moment are my stock ipod earphones, and I find them unsatisfactory (as expected). I'm looking to get a pair of PL50s, how do they compare with the stock ipods? I especially find the bass to be weak, and turning on bass booster simply results in distortion. Not sure if this is inherent in all iPods or the issue lies with the earphones. I know the PL50s dpnt have a lot of bass, but do they at least perform a lot better bass-wise than the stock earphones?

yep PL50 definitely pawn stock ipod earphone kaw kaw... ^^ in fact any of those below pawn them kaw kaw

1. Crossroad Mylar Bijou
2. Soundmagic PL21
3. Soundmagic PL50
4. Crossroad Quattro
5. Crossroad Woody
6. Creative EP-630
7. Hippo Boom
8. SP1
9. RE0
