hi guys!

well, currently 'm using some rm100-ish philips she9700, however a friend robbed it from me so now i'm looking for another pair.

we both somehow think it sounds slightly better than soundmagic pl-30 using the same source.

looking for a pair below rm250, preferably ones that are comfy cuz gonna use for jogging.

is pl-50 good for value if priced at rm180? or shld i go for eterna/silver bullet etc for rm2XX? Thx in advance!

Hi guys, i'm looking for a headphone with the budget of rm200 - rm300

The music that i listen to is ranging from eminem to linkin park to mariah carey and everything in between

currently have a phillips shp2700 which umm, dsnt satisfy me me at all sonically after having my sound magic pl-50 iem

i still do use my iem but would prefer a headphone as it's easy to put on n take off

any suggestions? prefer one that has better sq than the pl-50

p/s: other significant preferences are wide sound stage for the background music, and good bass for some rap rock thumping as well as clarity for me to jizz over mariah's voice n most importantly, gotta be comfy on the ear n head for long hrs tongue.gif

Opps. My bad. I ordered the M3. Got a great discount from bro calmshot. Good choice. You could read up the reviews for Brainwavz. They're just simply amazing.
You can buy my headphone.  tongue.gif

Superlux HD668B
Or the Fischer Audio FA-004.
Or Grado SR60i.

-Superlux: They say it has good clarity and quite good bass. Very cheap. Lower than your budget actually. Was about to buy one but as it will be my first headphone, I opted for the more established headphone(read further).

-Fischer Audio FA-004: Gets good reviews. Some say less realistic treble, boomy bass and so on. Others say good bass with a tad bit of boom, nice sound stage for a closed headphone, comfortable. It is rather smallish though. I was about to buy this as well, but then further inquiries led me to doubt it. Fischer Audio reviews all over the net tend to be a bit biased sometimes, so not willing to take the risk, I didn't buy it.

-Grado SR60i: In the end I bought these. Not very comfortable but after stretching the headband a little, it was more tolerable(for about 2 hours). Sound leaks from and into it, you'd look like a WW2 bomber pilot, needs a higher volume on my source to get decent volume. However, energetic sound signature with good quality bass(decent amount), good clarity, a bit sibilant, might not be the best for female vocals but quite decent for casual listening. The most expensive of the three.

seems like none of em is really ideal..

any thoughts on the AT AD300?
