They each have their own sound signature, read the reviews to identify which you think suits you best or, you can test it at Jaben. Last I checked they had all 3 models for testing. Where is Jaben? Google Jaben Malaysia.

Hi, wanna ask, what's the term to describe clip+'s SQ?
*
Neutral, but on the warm side of neutral.

Does Fuze have the same quality both pre and post rockbox?
*
The Clip+ sounds slightly fuller. Rockbox doesn't change the sound quality judging from what I hear.

What popular phones have this kind of sound? IEM and non-iem.

Westone UM3X?

i rarely use the mic. sound quality is more important for me icon_rolleyes.gif any AKG model that you recommend?
Will do. but i read some user review stating that there's a cable problem (hearing thump whenever the cable touched something and i forgot what model).

Not sure about a thump, but the D-Jays suffer from cable microphonics sad.gif

Not sure if you can test them there, I've never been there so I don't know but you can test most of what I mentioned at Jaben SS15. Just Google 'Jaben SS15' and you should get their contact details.

What is open air??

Open back headphones:
Open back headphones (sometimes referred to as vented) are designed to allow sound out through the back of the earcup. This design gives a character to the sound that is often described as having an open soundstage, or natural. One reason for this is that there are less reflections than a closed back (or sealed) design.

- My Rig: iPod Nano 3rd Generation.
- Type of usage: Music.
- File format: MP3.
- Music genre: Metal, Jazz, Dubstep, etc.
- Budget: RM 200 and below, if possible..
- Headphone/ earphone type: Preferably headphones, on-ear is fine, over-ear is alright too..
- Other requirements: Something that is not so big, in terms of size.

I have a pair of headphones for gaming, my Razer Piranha, and its paired with my Steelseries Siberia Soundcard. But, my Piranha is kind of bulky, the wire is braided but long, and also at the end there are 3 cables, which prove to be a drag as i only use one of them.. and the other problem is, when i wear it too long, my ear hurts, it's  an on-ear headphone... Perhaps my ear is oddly shaped ??

Oh, and a lot of my friends are using beats, and they recommend it, in my opinion, beats are expensive in Malaysia, and when i tried my friends in-ear earphone, it was alright, but i found the bass to be a little high, i mean, i love bass, but too much of a good thing is never good. I would also like to step away from the norm and take a different route instead of following the rest sometimes, that's how it's always been in my life really..

So, i hope you guys can recommend me a good pair of headphones. Many thanks in advance.
