could you PM the price?

Hippo Groove, SoundMAGIC PL11, Fischer Audio Omega. These supposedly have somewhat of a popular sound sig(warm with ample bass). I find people who listened to anything good first time are hard to be impressed by a very detailed/analytical setup.

As for determining how good it is, it is subjective. For people who have never ventured into audiophile territory, I suggest bringing in your ordinary IEM/headphone an compare them with anything audiophile(any price range). We can't simply tell you what to expect. Jaben Malaysia allows free auditions, try there.

im into sennheiser for its design , but open to any suggestion of brand.
as long as the price meets the quality and its comfortable for long use.

Shure SRH440, which i am using too, balanced sound, good bass, acceptable soundstage

Hi, audiophiles out there, can you guys kindly recommends me a GOOD headset that meet my budget which is around rm500?Well,it will be used for listening music (prior) and gaming

Headsets only? Or you accept headphones too?
Steelseries siberia and roccat kave is within your budget for headsets.
As for me, I've gotten myself the ATH AD700 (which is a headphone) with zalman clip on mic. (If you buy from US, it will cost less than your budget)

Actually, both headset and headphone also can. Thx for the info dude.

No prob. But what's the main purpose of your headphones/headsets? Which takes precedent? Movie? Gaming? Music?

hmm i will say music ...btw, is sennheiser considerable?

Hey guys, any Razer Megalodon users here ?

Jz wanna ask about the sound quality. How far can the sound quality go when its switched to 2.0 ? lets say, compare with ath-ad700.

The reason why that was stated is most likely because the topic was created in another subsection (eg, Hardware Q&A) before being moved to Audiophiles section. However, noobandroid is right, you might get better recommendations if you repost your question on the Headphones / Earphones Recommendation Corner on the link he has provided.

Yes, you may consider the sennheiser.
Besides that, there's also AKG, Shure and a few other good brands.
As for budget headphones, superlux is one of the best.
Since your main is music, pls ignore the recommendation i made in my first post.
Those are most likely crappy in musics.

oo.... how is your ATH-AD700 doing ? So far so good?good in music?

Strictly speaking, if you are a certified basshead, then ad700 is not the headphone for you. There is bass, but mayb not as heavy as some other bassy headphones. But, in return, you have very clear audio.. So, depends on what type of music you listen too..
However, since I'm not a basshead, the bass provided by my headphone is more than enough IMO.
Haven't tested it with games yet, but the reason i chose ad700 is because of its sound positioning and clear-ness. Can hear each word clearly and can hear where your enemy shooting from (source: my friend is a user of the ad700)
Anyways, I can't really give you a good comparison as my previous headphone was a RM50 headphone >_>
So, obviously this headphone pwn my old headphone.. Lol..
But, compared to my sis sennheiser px100, the sound is also much better..

while the AD900 is definitely out of your budget, you may refer to my review of it in this post: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=42471023 (a complete review with links/references link is also there that links to my website)

The AD700 in general speaking is after all, a scaled down version of the AD900.
you may also refer this website: http://www.headfonia.com/audio-technica-ad...1000prm-ad2000/ for info on the the Audio Technica AD series

anyways as previous poster said, please refer this thread for recommendation: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1849925

=edit=
adding more link lol
