Hey guys, thinking of getting a pair of portable headphones. My preferred sound sig is bright with excellent clarity and speed. It doesn't have to possess A LOT of bass but I do want some thump. I am not fond of an overly warm sound and I don't mind having a 'lean' sound. I love the Fischer Audio DBA-02, and I also loved how the TF.10 sounded when I auditioned it (but it is priced out of my budget and there are fit issues/the size is too clunky). A bigger soundstage than the DBA-02 would be nice too.

I do not have an amp nor will I be getting one anytime soon. I will be running the headphones straight from my iPhone 4. My budget is around RM 400 or less.

Any recommendations for me? Thanks!

EDIT: My DBA-02's hardened cable has cracked and the sound is dead so I have to send it back for warranty, and that may take more than a month... need a replacement lol. That's why I'm looking a some portable headphones.

Hmmm, if you want better than DBA-02, go for ACS T15, seriously poisoning.

dude ACS T15 is RM8xx, seriusly think his budget before suggesting

Oh shit, i didn't notice that, RM400 huh ? Hmmm, if not mistaken crossroad have a single driver ba, sounds bright too and nice soundstage around 3xx.

Portable headphones lah... not in-ears.

Prefer something below RM 400, but I won't disqualify something that exceeds that by a bit...

i suggest using SRH440, RM3xx near RM400, rich bass, decent mid, excellent vocal, kinda mild on treble and pitch, only drawback that i see is the tight fitting of the pads, replacement with SRH840 pads will make it perfect

since i'm no longer using my 440, maybe i can cut u a fast deal

Hmm but I love my treble....

Let me think about it. Still thinking if I should get a the Grado SR60i or Alessandro MS1, or one of the Audio Technicas.

hey guys,

my Denon D1001's 3.5mm jack is kinda screwed up. Wonder if Jaben can fix it for a price? I bought the unit from another source.

Thanks
