Hi again... It would seem my original plan to acquire an A8/CM700/Aurvana Air is unsuccessful. These earbuds are either too old or just way too "unpopular" in Malaysia lol... doh.gif

So right now I'm thinking of getting a Sennheiser MX880 or AKG K319, are there any other better options besides these 2? (No Yuins because they seem to have reliability issues). Also, would it be better to invest in an amp, say Fiio E11 for around RM222 (E1 - AKG's bulk) or absorb everything and spend it all on a higher end earphone?

I'm open to any suggestions, including IEMs (Shure SE215 looks kinda cool with clear housing) biggrin.gif Thanks!

Personally, I'd spend the cash on a good set of IEMs before buying an amp to pair it with.

Nah the 440 isn't bassy enough for Electro/House music. Unless you wanna get an amp. I suggest Hippo Box+ or Fiio E11. (both have bass boost)

On another note, i don't know where else to ask, anyone know where can i buy a cheap LOD? ahaha
