Hi,

Can someone recommend me an earbud which looks and maybe sound similar to B&O A8 or ATH-EC700 or Aurvana Air? I'm not too particular about SQ since this is for casual use (where the environment will be too noisy anyway laugh.gif ) but my only requirement is that there must be no sibilance or harsh highs.

Many thanks! notworthy.gif


Added on May 15, 2011, 10:23 pmEDIT: Budget... Should not exceed the ones I quoted, although I wouldn't mind anything cheaper >.< And it'll be driven by my Galaxy S.

This is the grand daddy of the type of clip earphones you are looking for with dual drivers per side.

Here is the cheaper and trendier option. The AKG K316.

hello, i'm asking here behalf of my friends.

Budget around RM500~1000 If possible, please recommend a DAC as well that can drive the headphone with it within the budget. (Prefer Open can, because feared unable to listen what happen outside of room or anything)

Music - Classical, Techno, Acoustic, Orchestra, Anime Songs.

Sound Clarity is the Priority, he got poisoned after listening to my AEGO M Sound clarity + ASIO and decide become Audiophile  drool.gif  drool.gif  drool.gif

can you recommend me which headphone the best for electronic dance music? i heard TMA-1 is good. how about other brand? and one more thing i notice all audiophile people (not a DJ) that into electronic music. pioneer product not their first choice. weird because a lots of world class DJ using pioneer headphones. can someone explain to me why? and all high end headphone need amp?
*
That is a sweeping statement which is not being substantiated by actual figures shakehead.gif

For generic DJ brands like Stanton, Technics, Pioneer, Newmark etc, there are sponsorship programs with popular DJs especially during their public performances or MVs to promote the brands. Just like the Monster/Dre's.

The no. 1 DJ, Armin Van Buuren uses Stanton DJ Pro 2000, Tiesto as well. David Guetta uses Sennheisers, Above & Beyond as well. Deadmau5 uses in-earphones. These are the Top 5s in 2010 rated by DJ Mag and none of them uses Pioneer.

Going beyond the hypes, not forgetting that we are all posting in the audiophile section, there are the highly regarded AKG K181DJs, very big in Europe. Then there are the Sennheisers with new entrants like the V-Moda Crossfade, AiAiAi TMA-1.

You will find a list of 26 top European DJs that are working with TMA-1 here: http://tma-1.com/#/our_testers/?member=test0

Here is a detail comparison review between the Crossfade and TMA-1.

I second this.

no DJs use Pioneer headphones, but their turntables brows.gif even the former world 1 DJ Clive Rudloe uses Pioneer turntable. IIMN, Above and Beyond, Tiesto uses Pioneer turntables too. I wonder ATB uses what headset?
I agree that those top DJs are being sponsored by those well known brands, Technics, Stanton, Newmark etc. Even AvB's Stanton looks like a AKG rip-off.
Ironically budding DJs featured in Anjuanabeats like Mat Zo, Adam Nickey uses Sonys  laugh.gif

AiAiAi TMA-1, I don't have the balls to buy it laugh.gif still waiting for more of those specifically built for DJs headphone :]

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

But I am quite satisfied with the performance of this pair.
So, I planned to get a new pair of Sennheiser but I wanna keep my options wide, so here I landed! Any recommendations? Mostly using it for Music. Budget up to 300 and in-ear earphones only.

EDIT: I sometimes wear it to jogging also!  smile.gif

Hope I'll be answered! Thanks!

QUOTE(Gabantarung @ May 26 2011, 06:03 PM)
I went to Jaben last week looking for a headphone that can be plugged into my amplifier, for me to jam with the guitar. So i bought the Shure SRH240 after a brief test using the Ipod. To my surprise, the sound quality that comes off from the headphone (through my amp) was really-really bad.. This headphone can't handle big-amplified-noisy distortion kind of sound. Had a cracking sounds (like when u use small watt speaker and crank it to the max, the cracking sound is what you get). I tested a Seinnheiser which is A LOT better, but still got those cracking sound.

So i'm asking you guys if you have any suggestion on which headphone suited best for me to plug into my amp? i hope someone who always jam with headphone can suggest rather than the seller themselves. smile.gif
I want headphone that can:

1) handle heavy, noisy, distorted sound. what came off the headphone is pretty much the same as what came off the amp.
2)long cord, like 2m+ long. coz u know, when people play guitar, they 'dance'.
3)Price is unlimited. but preferably somewhere 300 to 600.
oh, and by the way.. I'm selling off my Shure SRH240. at RM200 negotiable. bought it at RM260.
