budget would be frm rm30-80..
is currently eyeing on sonic gear earpump and earpump2.. are these earphone gud? is thr any other recommendations?
thank you for the advice..

sonic gear sucks... it may be good to unexperienced people but normally it's a waste of time buying it
I suggest you take some time travel to Jaben Malaysia and get yourself some Hippo Epic or Hippo Groove icon_rolleyes.gif

Guys, this thread becomes v5 and difficult to checkout previous feedback (kinda painful). Quick one;

1) Based from all headphone users feedbacks/comments, can recommend the very good quality below RM500 par? Whats the difference between open/closed air headphone? Pro, cons pls.
2) Headphone amp (input- 3.5mm jack, digital coaxial in, USB, DAC<-- MUST!) (Output--> 3.5mm jack, etc). Budget around RM800.

Thanks for your honest feedback/comments. By the way, which place can get cheap branded headphones?
*
I can recommend Alessandro MS-1 open back headphone (RM475)

open air headphone basically have HOLES behind the cup of the headphone...
open air headphones will leak out sound/air/water/rice/sand as they can't hold anything
you can also share your music with people beside you while playing music
some people prefer open air headphones because it sounded wide and far as if football field

closed air headphone looked like perfectly designed rice bowls that won't leak out any sound/air/water/sand/rice
closed air headphone sounded like covering your ears with two rice bowls(but of course you hear music,not the ocean doh.gif)
people will not be able to hear the music that you are listening to.
some people prefer closed air headphones because music sounded close and direct
plus it will not disturb people around you

I'll let others answer your question 2

you can always go to Jaben headphone store at Subang SS15
they give great service and you can ask them anything about headphones
plus they might give you discount too smile.gif

hi, I'm looking for BUDGET earphones.(canalphones)

just to plug in my SE phone and listen.

Good sound isolation and goes easy on the ear canal.

Music listened mostly rock , pop rock, Electronic rock and synthpop.

Buget Rm40. (lol i'm so cheapskate, wtv)

Heard Sonic Gear sucks. Read that Klipsch and skullcandy's good. Is it available in Malaysia with my budget?

which shop in OU sells a huge variety of good budget earphones?
Thanks! smile.gif

aarrgghhh

if you can pay a bit more you can get the Hippo Groove for RM68

what the difference between closed and open air dynamic???which wan good?
*
both oso got good and bad points
you gotta try it to know it

open air will sound wide and far
closed,close lo

open sounded natural and beautiful...
closed sounded different and unexplainable (different design different sound)

open will leak sound and may disturb people
closed... vice versa

hope you'll understand my simple explanation wink.gif

I really need help from sifus out there cause I'm getting it as a gift.

To be used on Ipod Touch
Open design headphone
Mostly used to listen to love songs. So clarity is priority but bass should be present as well.
Budget would be about RM200-RM250.

Help sad.gif Thanks alot

Get the Grado SR60i like what Silenced recommended. It's amazingly good

I never purchase any nice headphone before, nor a good microphone, and i found the built in microphone on my Lenovo laptop is capturing too much of noise and the sound quality is no good... very soft...  sweat.gif

My main objective is a microphone with good noise reduction, clear voice.  tongue.gif
I am not sure whether the market sell microphone alone, or it must come with a speaker -- a headphone type?

i already have a external speaker, so the headphone will not be my focus, I still prefer to listen through speakers...

Budget: RM100
Purpose:
1) Listen to Music - mp4, iTunes
2) Audio Recording, Video editing, a good Microphone with noise reduction!

If market is selling Microphone alone... my budget will be RM100 for microphone itself!  drool.gif

I don't think RM100 could get you any good mics...
it'll collect lotsa noise still whistling.gif

Preferably those speaker that can plug-in hp &headset in front/controller there for much more convenience......IF possible, hope there will be a build-in mic at the volume control there....

I do have 1 Altec lansing that have those kind of spec but seems like I can't find it anymore everywhere...
*
lol izzit that classic Altec Lansing VS2421?
pretty fun speaker... I don't think any modern speaker will have that build in mic on the remote already whistling.gif

yea... please tell us your budget or we couldn't help you
