hello guys , i am currently finding a HEADphone for myself but i have no experience in that whatsoever , any good recommendation?

my budget is around rm 300~400

usage is for 70% music and 30% gaming

and i hope the design isnt that bad either , cause sometimes maybe i want to use it outdoors

firstly i wanted to get steel series Siberia / senheiser hd555

but those are quite old tech , released at least 5 years ago , and i read comments from internet saying their quality for music is so-so.

any recommendation will be greatly appreciated , thanks in advance =X



***i wear spectacles and i want a headphone that provide comfort even after hours of usage. i have experienced some which makes your ear irritated after a few hours.

and i want to use it to listen music through my phone , so theres no ultra sound cards in my phone. any one with good sound w/o good sound card? and very good with sound card? (ill sometimes use it for pc too)

i dont want to buy an amp also , and i want it to be ultra comfy!

ATH-AD700 is around 800MYR which is ultra out of my budget , and i dont want to risk getting 2nd hand headphones also.

hello , my brother just borrowed his friends Bose QuietComfort 2 headphone for me to test , but the quality isnt that much different from my cheap earphone.. any recommendation? his friend selling it off at half price.. any good earphone better than bose quietcomfort 2 at around 400~500?

i dont really care about the noice cancelling , i want the best quality for my money! so still recommending audio techinca m30?

is it better than quietcomfort 2? i read the reviews , they said the cost of production all went into the noise cancelling feature.. i doubt ill take it out often anyways , so noise cancelling is not that important. i want any one that can beat the quality of this at least..

mostly music. sometimes games. not really a basshead but dont like bass that are too weak either. went to machines ,, only got 2-3 headphones only.. at pyramid one.

rm200 headphone beats rm1200 headphone? @_@

you know anywhere to test the headphone? and is it comfortable for long hours of usage?

the reviews for ath m30 says the headband is a little tight , which may squeeze your ear after prolonged use.. is that true? my ears are slighty bigger than average..

heard that m50 needs amp to unleash full potential , (i dont plan to buy amps)

but Q40 instead dont really need amp to have a decent sound. correct? @.@ got it from the forums

im gonna get ath-m30 without trying it , im just gonna let lady luck decide . =x btw . rm200 , is it worth? or is the price lower?

bought my ath-m30. for rm199. (went with my instinct lol, didnt test the headphone at all) dont know if its worth or not , after 1 hour or so , my ear starts to get a little irritated because of the headphone pressing against the tip of my ear , and its kind of heaty cause of the earpads material , any advices or ways to make it a slightly more comfortable headphone?

its not clamping my head , but because the sponge is not really thick , my ears in contact with the headphone "speaker" ...

your ear so small ar? i try already they press against my ear tips , i try moving it behind but it gets kinda loose and covers a part of my ear(hole). and it STILL touches the tips of my ear!

any tips with my problem? its getting very annoying

just came back from pyramid. got a chance to try the HD 228 from sennheiser. first impression was. HOLY SHIT? WTF? ULTRA comfortable + good bass... is it recommended for a pop/rock song listener? i currently own an ATH-M30..

im baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. lol =_=

just sold off my m30 today. shit. then tried the hd228 @ machines again. saw the price tag wrongly. i thought it was rm218. but it was 289. sucks to be me.

now im hunting for another headphone , all i want is .. great sound and VERY COMFORTABLE for all ear sizes , comfortable enough to wear it for 4-6 hours...

tried HD228 but the soundstage aint that wide , the bass is fine tho , and a little bit more clarity compared to ath-m30 ...

heard alot of people talking about ad300~ad700 , but i dont know whether it suits me or not , im not gonna rush it again , wasted money already...

anyone knows where to test most of the "hot" audio technica or sennheiser headphones?

aiyah. so far no time go T_T no transport also

now suddenly , im thinking of getting an IEM , save the trouble... PL-50 is my main one now ithink..

im looking for an IEM/headphone that offers VERY good comforbility after long hours of usage , and provides detailed instrumental , and a punchy bass. not too little bass , but im fine with strong bass

below rm300~
