I never heard the goldring before but all the active noise cancelling I heard have a static noise when there is no music playing or low volume playback. It may or may not annoy you so it is best to audition first before making the move.
It is not a very discriminating noise. Once the music is played it is basically cant be heard. Moreover you can off the noise cancelling function for normal listening.

I used to own the Shure and the TMA-1 DJ and had a short experience with the AKG. I prefer the Shure for a wide range of music. The TMA-1 lack the treble energy but the bass and mids are very good so music can sound dull at times but non fatiguing. Never experience the tma studio but from reviews it sound quite similar to the dj.
The AKG sounds the closest to BA because of its crystal highs but bass can sound abit lacking.
The m50 seems to be the crowd favourite but I can't comment on it since I never listened to it before so my pick would be the shure. Just my 2cents

M50 has a very distinct bass response and the clarity is not so bad. A little bit to a V shape response.

Excuse me..where can I find the spare ear bud for klipsch S4?
We have them.

Are you talking about the new denon headphone? D600/7100? Have not heard them so can't comment.
If you talking about d5000/7000, I also have not heard them but according to many they have similar characteristics to the fostex th900 which is very good in my opinion.
I have heard them in HKAV show

Until so far....
I wana get a cheaper but with good sound headphones....
as for my first can....
I have think on ath sq 5 or higher budget headphones as well....
Any comments on sq 5??
If you are looking at SQ5, start looking at FC707 now.
QUOTE(nicholostan @ Aug 14 2012, 11:35 PM)
For now, I'm quite busy and doesn't have suitable time to try on the headphones but based on reviews....
My preference is clear vocal...huge soundstage...tight bass...clarity mids....and good isolation...Closed back or open back will not be a problem...
Budget around 200 - 300
If the headphone is over the budget....ill take it as a recommandation for further trying ...xdd...
Thanks for your help...
I agree with windboy on the DT231 recommendation.

can pm me the special price?

ok

dude... everyone is busy... it's no point reading reviews because what sounds right to one person might not sound the same to you...
if you have time to sit down sift through reviews of that much headphones... i guess, you have an hour or two to spend auditioning them...
reviews can be a base for narrowing down your preferred list of options.. but never for final selection...same like you won't buy a car without actually seeing, sitting and driving one and base it on reviews and pictures on websites rite?
don't do something you'll regret.. being it a 300 or 3000 set of cans...
Yes, that's true, clear your mind and listen for yourself. No need to read so much review. Trust your own ears.

recommend on Beyerdynamic DT231pro, best value for money and fits all the requirements you are looking.

hi,
I am using iBasso D2 +Boa. Recently i feel that the unit have a lot of static charge on it when i connect it to USB of my computer. Is it the unit problem or my computer USB? The amp/dac is more than 1 y ear old.
It might be the USB port is rusted...
QUOTE(GLEwon @ Aug 16 2012, 08:07 PM)
Try Beyerdynamic DT231pro, Goldring DR50. If u have extra budget get an amp with it!
Yes, another good recommendation. DR150 if possible, Support PCwork's good cable work.
