AKG K450.

Hi does anyone know the current market price of MDR-V500DJ?

but it doesn't cover the ear, so how does isolate external sounds.

You will be surprise with the little difference on the isolation of supra aural and circum aural phones

but i had a hippo safari which is supra aural and i did not like it as much cuz over time it becomes quite uncomfortable for me.

hey im looking to get new IEMs. i currently have akg k330 and hippo shroom eb. i want IEMs that sound good on R&B and rock songs. i like the hippo shroom eb but the cables make too much noise compared to other IEMs i've tried.

price range rm300-500. preferably the lower amount. thanks~

if both?but mostly i will use it to watch movies n gaming..

For music and movies, go with the Senns or AKG K77. For gaming, go with the Steels.

My Rig:Creative Zen Mozaic, & Creative MuVo
Type of usage:Listen to music~
File format:mp3
Music genre:K-pop, C-pop, practically everything
Budget:Below RM120
Headphone/ earphone type:IEM
Other requirements:if possible... a casing~

Hi all~ I'm new to this forum, anyways my Creative earphone juz broke down recently and since its the school holidays, im planning to get myself a new one

I'm currently using Marshall Major. Quite suitable for guitar-heavy tracks.

thx 4 ur reply..btw,between these 2,which one produce better bass?

Would like to seek advice/recommendation from all the bros. Looking for options to upgrade.

- My Rig: IPOD Video + LOD + amp + Eterna v1 + comply TIP
- Type of usage: music
- File format: 320 kbps mp3 + FLAC
- Music genre: Rock (eg Linkin Park, U2), Jazz (eg Paris Match), Soundtrack (eg. Hans Zimmer), Pop (eg Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys), Gothic (eg Depeche Mode, the Cure)
- Budget: RM500.00
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements:
(1) deeper bass (i'm a basshead and like to listen to fast bass-guitar rift. Metalica and Linkin Park comes into mind ), better clarity/separation/soundstage;
(2) noice isolation is a MUST as i travel by public transport. My current Eterna+Comply Tip can isolate about 70% of noice at relatively low volume setting. Looking for better isolation but without the Comply Tip as the Comply Tip itself is already not cheap and need to be replaced frequently.

Wanted to audition at Jaben. But pai-seh if ended don't buy anything from them . So better get as much 1st-hand experience as possible from all the bros. Any advice/recommendation is appreciated. Thanks ya.

For bass I can't think of anything other than Future Sonics Atrio. Since you're not into trance it is suitable(the fast bass line in trance is the Atrio's weakness)...but RM100 over your budget.
However, there's also Audio Technica's CKS-70 "Solid Bass" IEM, well under your budget, but you have to be sure you like the bass. Then there's CK7. Also Fischer Audio's Genesis, even lower priced(although where to audition, I have no idea. maybe refer to WS Tradings). I have a few also in mind but I don't know where to get/audition them. Oooh, almost forgot, the JVC "Twin-system" has arrived at Jaben. It won't be long(will it?) until Jaben Malaysia has them as well. Said to be basshead IEMs as well, and dual-drivers somemore, and also quite affordable.

Linkin Park songs aren't really that technical in the bass department. They are sometimes a bit bright and a tad bit messy.

If you head over to Jaben, ask them for some more examples, I'm sure they're ready to help.
