Audio Technica AD500, Koss Portapro, Sennheiser HD438, AKG K514, Grado SR80i, Shure SRH440, Sennheiser HD215 etc.

Not sure if you can test them there, I've never been there so I don't know but you can test most of what I mentioned at Jaben SS15. Just Google 'Jaben SS15' and you should get their contact details.

QUOTE(hazardcradle @ Jun 26 2011, 09:01 PM) i rarely use the mic. sound quality is more important for me  any AKG model that you recommend? Will do. but i read some user review stating that there's a cable problem (hearing thump whenever the cable touched something and i forgot what model). Do consider the AKG Q350 from the Quincy Jones Signature Line.  Added on June 27, 2011, 9:32 amQUOTE(schneider_lurid @ Jun 26 2011, 09:54 PM) Hye Sifus!

Yes, you can go to the Tong Lee, the hifi shop at Low Yat Plaza and look for Jenny. Tell her that David sent you. Remember to bring your laptop along to test them out. They do have the Shures and Grados as well.  This post has been edited by E1 - AKG: Jun 27 2011, 09:32 AM

just bought fischer audio silver bullet straight away from russia! only rm140 dude. hehe. I think the silver bullet is better than eterna in terms of sound quality. The only disadvantages between eterna and silver bullet is, the cable feels fragile and the housing metal maybe not suitable for some ears.

Hi all, Just need some opinions / views. I've recently came across the Shure 840 (RM7xx) and it sounded kinda nice on my iPhone, before that I tried the BOSE (forgot what model but RRP is RM620) and wasnt quite satisfied with the build and sound quality. I'm thinking of getting a nice pair of headphones. So my question is how's the Shure 840 headphone if compared to other gaming h/ps like Logitech G35 and the Razer Megalodon. I enjoy movies and gaming on my PC. *I've seen a dummy set of the G35 at MidValley, and the padding all koyak already lol
Currently I own a pair of Sony MDR EX-90 IEMs. Another question is that is it better to get a new premium headphone (Shure / Sennheiser) and stick with on intergrated sound card OR get a nice soundcard and use my current IEM.
Budget: RM700+/-
TQ
