QUOTE(ronaldkh @ Oct 11 2011, 04:49 PM) Not really into AKG. What about Shure? Read many good reviews of it. Have a look at Shure SE215. It is probably the most economical and best bang of buck for that price. Review by Clieos

QUOTE(MrAvatar @ Oct 12 2011, 10:19 PM) dt770 pro a lot bass? i dont think so.. Yes it does, from my experience of brief trying in Jaben. The bass is very powerful and quite punchy as far as I remember.

QUOTE(the100308 @ Oct 12 2011, 11:28 PM) Hi guys, My GF want a nice budget earphone - My Rig: Laptop/Handphone/Ipod - Type of usage: IEM (not sure what IEM, but google image tell me its somekind of small earpiece thingy) - File format: MP3, Wav - Music genre: All kind - Budget: <RM50 (lesser than) - Headphone/ earphone type: ear bud type? - Other requirements (if any): cheap and good quality. Looking for best quality over price ratio IEM and earbuds are two very different things. Google it for the difference. Anyway, for that price I'd recommend u the Hippo Groove which is selling at RM50+ in Jaben.

QUOTE(BanG_DeaD @ Oct 17 2011, 02:40 PM) hello guys.. so, from reading, if budget around RM50, get Hippo Groove and if budget below RM100, get Fischer Audio Omega...? any other IEM recommendation below RM100 ?  Below 100 and below 50 they are still in the same category I'd say, don't expect any significant improvement in quality with that RM50 u add. Unless if u raise up ur budget to 200-ish, there will be more options to choose from.

QUOTE(FaezFarhan @ Oct 30 2011, 06:30 PM) Thanks! Anyone heard of turtle beach before? Someone recommended that to him but it's using USB. Turtle beach is a gaming headphones brand, i bet most of the forumers here in audiophiles are not familiar with the brand. Same goes to Razer, Roccat, etc.

QUOTE(GenericMav @ Nov 3 2011, 12:19 PM) i'm not sure if HD201 is good on its bass (its more towards trebles), and HD202 more focused on bass but enjoy your new iem  That's because he is comparing Feels Pro 900 which is using BA driver to HD201. Thus the HD201 becomes very bassy to his ears lol.

QUOTE(MrAvatar @ Nov 3 2011, 06:38 PM) wa coolboy..ur rig changed finally..btw..wat do u think of the dzero? Yes, finally sold my D1001  D-zero is using WM8740 which is a very high performance DAC, that one I think I don't have to comment much on it. Amp section is not bad, overall clear and slightly leaning towards bright sound signature. Well-worth for bucks I gotta say

QUOTE(jillti @ Nov 4 2011, 05:01 AM) Hi just wanted guys to help me pick I'm just casual music listener using my htc dhd and laptop senheiser 280hd or shure srh440 thanks. Haven't tried the 280HD before, but I've owned a SRH440 previously. The sound is extremely clean and bright, thus there will be quite alot of sibilance occurs if u are pairing it with bad source like a laptop without proper DAC. And also it is quite heavy and bulky, clamping force is quite tight too. I remember I can only wear it for 30 minutes or so and I have to take it down.

QUOTE(KepalaRadio @ Nov 4 2011, 11:28 PM) Alright so I'm like, probably going for the Shure SRH440 + a DAC/AMP that's around the ~RM300 range, will head down to Jaben tomorrow to check it out, any thoughts on this? Hippo Box+ or Fiio E11 would probably fit ur bills. EDITED: Sorry, didn't see u need a DAC too. If around 300-ish there is only one E7 in that range. Or maybe a Govibe USB DAC + Hippo Box/E11. Or u can increase ur budget slightly and get the new iBasso D-Zero This post has been edited by CoolBoy89: Nov 5 2011, 12:35 AM
