HI, I would like to know which is best.

Fischer Audio Eterna vs AKG K330

I'm planning to get the Fischer but since you guys kept mentioning about that AKG K330, I'm curious to know which is best. And what's the price of that AKG K330?

I'm more towards bass but also must be balance in terms of low mids high.

AKG comes with 2 years warranty and more than 60 years of heritage.

Need advice on a 2010 product - real or fake CX 400 ii Precision?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260863426073?ss...984.m1438.l2649

On topic still - any recommendations for a ~RM100 or less (and I mean less) good set of earphones? Just bought a 16Gb nano, don't wanna splurge.

All I have with me are a pair of ~RM60-70 Sony earphones from a couple years back, which are very superior to the crappy Apple earphones (of which I have tonnes, and which I stupidly used for ages before the Sony's). So at this point I'll hardly be downgrading, but I know virtually nothing about earphones.

Thanks.

As you can use, the headphones would be used for gaming and movies. I am emphasizing on comfortability too since I don't want the headphones to hurt my ears after a session of usage. Currently I am considering the Sony MDR-XB500 that retails at RM279 +/- . Would this be a good buy?

I need some suggestion from all Sifus around here.

My budget is Rm 700 or less.
- Your rig :Iphone 4, laptop
- What type of usage: Music>Movie>Game
- File format used in your source 320kbps MP3 primarily
- Genre of music you listen to: Latest pop song, R&B, Rock
- Headphone/ earphone type: on-ear noise cancelling headphones. Styles are like Sony MDR-NC200D/Bose QuietComfort 3 .
- Other requirements : prefer to have mic/ button to answer call/ volume control but not a must. I don't mind if the Noisecancelling run on battery.

I read the review from engadget about Sony NC200D and I kinda like to give it a try, but I don't think this is available here yet. Link: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/16/sony-md...dphones-review/

I travel a lot so noisecancelling is very important to me in order to get some good rest on plane/train/bus.

Please advise something that is available in Malaysia market now. Thank you in advance for all the suggestions. smile.gif

- Music genre: Rock (and small number of accoustic tracks)
- Budget: RM250
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM/in-ears

Is currently considering a pair of Sennheiser CX300-II unless there's something better.

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!
