Headphone at that price range? I don't think I ever encountered one that is suitable(by that I mean good enough) for monitoring. For headphones, you're looking at RM150 to RM500+.
Don't know about speakers though, but the good ones are definitely out of your budget.

Hi, I am looking to get a pair of IEM for my husband, I have no ideas about earphones so hope the sifu here can help me a little......

- Rig (iPod, iPad)
- Type of usage (80% Musics, 20% Movies )
- file format (mp3)
- genre (I don't know what he listens to... LOL but some rock, some pops and also oldies)
- requirements (IEM )
- Budget : less then RM1,000
Other requirements: He always said he doesn't want to hear outside noise and also doesn't want people to hear what he is listening to and he always stressed that he like the bass with the current earphones, so I guess bass is important

Thanks in advance for the recommendations

Is this for his birthday or something? So sweet.

Well, I can think of stuff like Future Sonics Atrio. If you read the reviews everywhere, that thing is one of the bass king. However it requires deep insertion, and the foam tips provided that is more comfortable(for most people at least) will need replacing from time to time.

Radius DDM. More musical and quite bassy. However I have owned it, and although the sound is heavenly(yes it was, the best I have ever heard so far), the comfort and fit is very troublesome. Isolation was also average.

Then there's the more expensive one(still under 1k) which is the Shure SE425. Good bass texture(not a basshead IEM though) but very well known for its fit, comfort and isolation, oh and sound quality. I've tried the older version(the SE420) and when it comes to sound, there's little to complain.

I think for an overall better experience, better have the Shure.

Sorry for noob questions, whats the square-ish thingy that come with the earphones for? Wouldn't it be a bit hassle with that thing one?

That is the active noise cancellation. It uses electronics to counter outside noise achieving almost 90% isolation which normal in-earphones can't do.

^ i sold my guitar amp.. headphones i don't need those professional ones la. just something good enough.

Thanks for the info. Just another question, will it be a bit bulky when you keep together with iTouch in the pocket coz he likes to carry it around with him. Any other alternatives?

Thanks for your help

Without noise cancellation, he will not be able to properly isolate outside noise, max you can get is 40% with normal in-earphones. Not forgetting you can do Skype / VOIP / Facetime with the inline microphone and control

shure se425 (dual balance armature drivers), ultimate triple fi 10 amazon set (triple balance armature drivers), fischer audio dba 02 (dual balanxe armature), these earphones work great with rock and pop. and all of these are in ear monitor and will isolate surrounding noise.
