the easiest way to try all these headphone, head over to Jaben Network - Malaysia in Ss15 subang jaya, you will get to try AKG, fiio E7, or even audio technica headphone....no need to wait until the roadshow lah...

for Rock, try Alessandro MS1 or Grado SR80, best suitable for rock, you can try go jaben malaysia and test all of them b4 u decide

for me i will take either MS1i or SR80, because it's another huge upgrade from SR60, and it's value for money
it's really depend on you, lots of ppl say that MS1 and SR80 are comparable, however, they are quite similar, but with different way of musicality presentation.

IMHO, MS1i sort of for all rounder (more laidback, musical), while SR80 suitable for Rock, metal due to their aggresiveness, forward, fast pace presentation. which can create a fun and exciting environment for rock lovers.
However, MS1i still able to drive throu rock with another musical path which SR80 can't be compared.
i should say they both have their pros and cons.

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


P/S : Sorry for noob opinion by me

Hippos
Crossroad woody 2

Grado SR125, Beyerdynamic DT440 xD

you can try out for ATH-AD300 or beyerdynamic DT231

most important is, what type of genre music u listen to most, any expectation from the incoming IEM signature u r looking for?

erm... if you going for mic, kinda limited your options, some good IEM doesnt come with mic >.<

maybe you can try for VB or crossroad woody 2, both have nice, depth and controable bass with a very warm and balance signature which suitable for mid vocal.

you could try on alessandro MS1, Senheisser HD515, shure SRH 440

it really depends, if you are a super bass head and can tahan non-stop punching from super bass for several hours then is ok.
for me 5mins from sony bass xb series and i will feel headache and fatigue.

Sennheiser RS180/170 are wireless series, if you got the budget for both of them, you got ton of choices, what is your preference of music? any requirement from the headphones? size? open/close?

Beyerdynamic DT770 pro, 880,990
sennheiser HD598,600,650
Audio technica AD900, A950, ESW9,ES10
AKG K701
Grado SR325, Alessandro MS2 etc...

you really got ton of choices, those are examples

yes definitely, if using wireless, the SQ surely will lose out compare with wired, and you need to spend extra $ on technology + SQ, which mean will cost even more expensive if you just wan to focus on SQ.

so basically u listen to almost anything? any requirement for your headphones/earphone? size? focusing on??
Open or close actuallly not that big different, i heard alot close cans with good, accurate and wide soundstage, so they both actually the same to me.

i would recommend if you stay near KL area, head over to jaben, they have all of them for you to try out

ermm, you can try such as sherwood SE777, denon C551, A-jays, T-jays, Hippo VB, sennheiser CX300 , klipsch S4 and many more


he is looking for earbud?

woaw, you can try grado RS1i, Alessandro MSpro , beyerdynamic DT990, Sennheiser HD600
all of them very good for that genre of songs.
you need aggressive sounding, fast to be more involving in the song

you can head over to Jaben Audio Malaysia and have a try =D
