Are you aware that the SR80i bleeds Which means that you can hear your environmental noise and people around you can hear your music as well By the way, Grado sounds great on rock but not very sure about RnB.

With a LOD to bypass the internal amp of your iOS devices and a good amp to drive, there will be an audible improvement.

please search here

nope , I am looking something that can use to watch movies , play games , music with my desktop ..will stay all the time with my pc =) any recommendation for somethings good + comfortable within my budget? (rm200++)

Hi,

I'm looking for a comfortable and durable closed type headphone, below are my requirement.

- My Rig: PC
- Type of usage: Slow music and videos with a lot of vocal (mainly recordings of seminar or youtube reviews)
- File format: mp3,mkv,avi,youtube streaming
- Music genre: oldies
- Budget: Below RM200
- Headphone/ earphone type: Closed/Circumaural
- Other requirements (if any): Most important it has to be comfortable for almost non-stop usage above 8 hours daily, and provide good isolation from background noise, and minimal sound leakage. Sound quality is not that important as long as it is good enough for my type of usage (as stated above).

I'm not an audiophile. My first true headphone is AKG K55 which I bought in 2001 (if I'm not mistaken), and I use it almost everyday until the left driver 'kong' in October last year (9 years of abuse). So I bought an Audio Technica ATH-T200 and last month the joint between the headband and the cups broke making it useless (cheap plastic).

I've done some research and I found most review only talk about the sound quality and seldom about the comfortability of the headphone. I've narrowed down to 3 candidates:

Superlux HD660 (cheap but concern about durability)
Pioneer SE-M390
AKG K77
JVC RX700 (cannot find new in lelong or lyn)

Any other recommendation that I should look into? I'm in Perlis so there a no audio shop for demo so I rely on recommendation and review only.

guys..what is dif between those razer/ steelseries headphones and audiophiles ??

Gamers headphone takes soundstage as their 1st priority not tonality.

Exp. when u play cs. u can detect where the sounds comes from. audiophile phone is not as accurate as them.

Hi, I need recommendation for headphones with a budget of RM100.

Most important aspect is voice clarity and comfort.

I'm using Philips SHP2700 now, very satisfied with it. But the wire is pulled out, almost cabut out already. I know this model is very good for the budget, but I'm just curious to see if there are any other models for consideration, since using this SHP2700 for a few years edi, feeling quite adventurous.

- My Rig: PC,Laptop,Mp4 player
- Type of usage: Music,Movies.
- File format: The best audio quality that i can find Flac/320kbps mp3
- Music genre: Classical,Metal,Rock,Electro,Techno
- Budget: Below RM300 Or RM200
- Headphone/ earphone type: Headphone
- Other requirements (if any): Been using the Philip SHP8500 for 1 year + and loved it. Need something better. Prefer long lasting cable like the SHP8500. Need the best sound quality headphone for the price. Could u Guys help me?

- My Rig: Iphone and Laptop
- Type of usage: Music and streaming videos e.g. animes
- File format: common mp3 formats and video formats
- Music genre: Kpop,jpop
- Budget: RM300-400
- Headphone/ earphone type: Earphone with those extended round plugs (not a fan of headphones, too bulky for me)
- Other requirements (if any): Usually I use it on my phone while commuting to and back from work, and also while listening to music at home. Been using sony ex monitor series but durability is super crappy as it doesn't last me more than a year. Need something good but durable. Since most of my songs are fast paced pop i prefer a balanced sound leaning a little to a better base. Any recommendation and where to get the items?

BTW I don't need a built in mic already have a bluetooth, just purely earphones as I have an assumption that those with in build mics tend to have a crappier sound quality.

Really appreciate the help.

There are IEMs that have good sound quality with inline mics. Like the AKG Q350, K370 and of course the K3003.

Ahh ok. Sorry not that super familiar XD

But any recommendations for those without mic?

AKG K340 is about RM470....beyond budget

Interesting. will definetely give this a try. any other recommendations? i'm eyeing Klipsch S4 and a-jays 3 as well, but haven't actually compared them yet.

Hmm E1 do you happen to know if the HTC Incredible S could drive the Shure SRH840?
