thanks for the explanation, wow tat 500 series cost rm300-400 range or did you get a cheaper source? mind to share?

i have a MDR-EX55SL, this ear phone is way too bassy, the bass is not solid, untill the extend i find it covers the treble/clarity of the singer voice. i am not sure if this happens to all the bassy earphones, as i only have this pair of ear phones right now.

hi ooj,

thanks for your advice, but i prefer ear plugs, as i find head phone is a bit troublesome for me in the train or bus. have you ever come across any good ear plugs that positive comments on the clarity as well as the bass performance?

Hi there

Sony EX300 for me is toooo bassy n muddy. exactly wad u describe " too bassy, the bass is not solid, untill the extend i find it covers the treble/clarity of the singer voice"

not all bassy earphone/headphone would like this, if the headphone produce quality bass, it won`t cover up the mid and high.

Hippo Shroom-EB have a good clarity with it nice price, at the same time the bass is good enough too. but don`t expect the bass would be boom boom boom biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Try search the review of "Atrio" it is a quite bassy earphone but at the same time give the clarity too.

yup...sr60i is at the top of my list right now...so many good review about this headphone...
let say i want to buy SR60i (RM290)...is it worth to add another RM1XX and get SR80i or MS1i instead? "walabies" from jaben also recommend me MS1i (thru PM)...
*
ms1 is really a better headphone biggrin.gif

[QUOTE]Different taste, different opinion, the best i suggest is go to Jaben malaysia and have a test on all of them, then only decide.
Uncle yuheng will really teach you how to differentiate them

when yuheng see the "uncle" he would propably cry =.=

some of the above are earphone, n some of them are headphone..
mostly around 100+ but all below 120

the look of the HD201 is quite durability, but i can`t give any comment as i never use it before

hippo product carry one on one exchange warranty, so this won`t be a big problem for me as i can use it for at least one year

audio technica onto might not as durable as the hd201 as it look more plastic n cute (more for girls)

ksc75, so far i didn`t notice a lot of people complaining about it`s durability issue

all the product above are without the mic

erm....
depend on how people treat the "quality" as
for me, rm300+ headphone with wireless function might work well in his wireless function
but in term of sound quality i won`t give much comment about it~ haha

therefore, different people different point of view~

Hey guys, i am looking for a headphone with the budget under rm1000.

previously i own a shp8900. i think it is too bright and lack of mid. i like the clarity though especially with gitar music.

i own a crossroad quottro too but i am always on the 2nd cap, moderate bass.

i also owns a aego m too. my aego m is always on 1st level bass.
i am not showing off here but i hope by showing the preference of my gears, you guys could give me a more accurate recommendation towards mood/music signature of the headphone.

basically i listen to a wide range of songs. bass is important but i hate it to be boomy n i dun listen to dance/house/techno musics. i do listen a lot pop songs and i use the headphone for movies n gaming too. and i like vocal songs a lot too, especially songs from emi fujita or eva cassidy.

i wan a headphone with good soundstage, nice vocals and good low bass yet not too boomy. it would be nice if they could like aego m or harman kardon soundstick 2.

hope u guys can help me out coz the place i live now is kind of impossible to go for a headphone audition.
*
hi there

u are not showing off but a correct way to tell people ur preference, clear n easily to understand smile.gif

most of the headphones around 1k budget would not only give u bass but give u the overall performance especially audiophile headphones

ur preference seems like similar to me, need bass but don`t want those boomy n loosy bass. wad i want is those tight n kick bass
and at the same time love to listen to pop songs a lot especially vocals. Vocals normally need some good mid

with the 1k of budget, normally i would go with 1 headphones and 1 amplifier to boosted up the performance of the headphones because normally headphones that come with 1k need an amp to pair with so that that would sound

u may try and search the model down here:

Beyerdynamic DT880, Beyerdynamic DT770
Grado Sr225i, Allessandro MS2i
Audio Technica AD900 n other series
Shure 840
Denon D2000
