u wan closed-can ar?

yeah open-cans have sound leakage... so u need close-can for noise isolation.

fc700 is great for portable and style... =) and i would recommend M30 ( if u intend to use it at home... coz it's bulky and not portable but a great headphone to start )

if u are into stylish headphone... u can check out SQ5, SJ3, FW3, FW5, ES5, ES55, ES7 ( these are all portable and stylish headphone model of audio technica )

but if u are into M30 types... u can also check out T22 ( really cheap like RM60-80 ) , T200 ( new model - so i'm not sure about the SQ )

guys,what do you think of the Sennheiser CXL-400?Do they sound like the igrado or better?

Hi Sifu Sifu sekalian....

I got a RM100 bucks budget for a over the ear headphones....
Want it to be light and portable...
- Mainly used for iphone/ipod.
- Mic function is 2ndary.. can live without is ok.

- I might use it for brisk walks, hiking... nothing too strenuous.

I'm currently using :
- Creative EP630 ( In-Ear ) - i don't have any issues with this earphone except the cable microphonics.. ( is this the right term )

- At home, when i do listen to cans it's my ol' trusted Philips SBC HP890.

- My music comprises anything from Staind, The XX, Angus & Julia Stone, Counting Crows, Yuna to Eminem, Snoop Dogg to Frank Sinatra to Tiesto... So it's basically a wide mix of songs... an all rounder will be good...

And I have notice that there are alot of fakes nowadays... I'm also open to fakes as long as it sounds good...

Uhmm for example if a fake RM100 high end headphone sounds better than a ori low end RM100 headphone... i don't mind getting the fakey... lol...

Thanks LowYat.net !!!

Hello all
I want to get a pair of headphones for my laptop, to use mainly for games and movies
I would like them to be circumaural, closed, and portable/foldable so I can stow them in my backpack. I also will use them with my guitar amp.
Budget is approx RM350, and hopefully something which can be obtained in KL/PJ.

Appreciate all the replies, thanks in advance

fake...? dont buy em,they sux

rm100?buy a koss ksc75 and mode it into over ear type.i saw bulk 4 dat in trade section.....or if u dont mind about bass thingy,cnsider audio technica ON3 or hippo safari....

based on ur needs 4 portability & budget, do chkout d akg k430 @ macstudio bsc or bts, they hav d demo uts ...

can try out

Audio Technica FC700 / SQ5 / FW3 / FW5 / ES55 / WS70 / ON3 / SJ3

Koss KSC75 / Portapro

Hippo Safari

ZintanthraX - Thanks for the recommendation, i'll try them out!!

Koss KSC-75 i don't like the ear clip design... i find this kinda design not suitable for me as always drop out...

Thanks.

well... ksc75 got another solution... u can get the headband from Enigmatic and turn it into portable headphone like ON3 / Hippo Safari... only cost u extra RM20

Is the sound leakage drastic? If it's clearly audible by others when I'm listening to like 50% the volume then it's really serious D:

They all look so great! Especially ES7, it looks so stylish..

Thank you again for the suggestions, I will check them out!

AKG 321 or Fischer Eterna ? for gym usage any opinion btw which hav stonger bass.

just finished listening to fischer audio eterna v0. seriously thing thing got tight and refined bass and i dont use amp also nice sounding... but be warned that eterna is choosy about its source. luckily my eterna kindda suit with iphone. if someone selling u the 1st version of eterna, i suggest u grab it since ive heard the current eterna sound slightly change a bit... how bit, im not so sure but i really like the sound signature of the 1st version of eterna.

thou i cant comment about AKG because i havent have or listened to it....

strong and controlable bass with warm , balance, big sound stage signature, try crossroad woody 2!!! i'm sure you will like it alot

yeah... that's y i said got sound leakage problem...

yeah es7 is nice... but it's pretty expensive as well... u can check out ES55 ( around the same stylish but without the mirror finishing... )

Thanks for the suggestions so far..
After researching, I am thinking of one of the following:
- ATH M-50
- Sony MDR-7506
- Sony MDR-V6
- Shure SRH440
- Sennheiser HD280Pro

Problem is, where can I actually buy one these things? I'd hate to import from US and pay shipping fee.

I am especially keen on the ATH M-50

Please, any suggestions would be appreciated!

with ur budget of RM350... it's kinda impossible to get M50... try M30 instead... u can get that from Jaben / Akabane@Dr.Jackal n etc...

hmm ok I based my idea on prices at Amazon and BHPhotovideo - both list the M50 for USD 112-113 which comes to just about RM 350.. is the cost very much higher here?
Anyway I'll drop by Jaben.
May have to consider import in worst case

Anyway thanks for the info

1. import duties & sales tax does apply 2 hdphones.

2. thr r plenty of fakes on d net

have you checked on amazon.co.jp? cheaper straight from japan for audio technica. To avoid custom can ask the seller or agent to write the price as gift/cheaper than the true value if the price more than RM200.
