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

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

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

Hola people, my knowledge on headphones is almost to none unfortunately so I need some advice,

Rig: iPod Nano 6th Generation
Type of headphones: IEM, with controls and maybe mic, noise isolating, great bass...(anti-tangle cables would be a plus but not important)
Genre: All rounder but mostly, jazz/acidjazz/smoothjazz (incognito,jamiroquai,nils) and rock/metal (linkin park, alexisonfire, ac/dc)..also rather fond of dubstep music.
Music format: Mp3 (128-320kbps) and AAC (320kbps)
Budget: between RM300-RM500

I'm looking for a quality IEM headphones that gives great audio quality but still within my budget.

Hope you guys could help me out and maybe give a couple of suggestions.

Thanks in advance! :-D

Sifus, brothers and taikos. pls help me find the best headphone..

My Rig: iphone 4, psp, sony laptop
- Type of usage: 65% music 25% movies/ video clips, 10% games
- File format: mostly mp3, wma  i guess
- Music genre: alternative rock,modern rock, RnB, hop and  almost everything u hear on local english radio from 90s up to now
- Budget: rm1500. willing to go up 2 2k if its really worth it
- Headphone/ earphone type: over ear headphones. ( pls DO NOT recommend Dr. Dre's Beats PRO cos i already have it, the design and material is cool but the sound quality is a MAJOR disappointment.
- Other requirements: this is a bit tricky. need something with noice cancelling/ isolation feature ( good when inside airplane/ trains). COMFORTABLE ( doesnt put much pressure on the ears after hours of usage). no sound leak ( dont want to sound disturbing to the people arnd me). good looking ( a must), durable and built for last( if possible). SQ and clarity must be VERY GOOD, bassy but not too bassy ( dunno if i made any sense on that last phrase there).

anyways, i saw this on the stylish headphone thread. the 2nd,3rd and 4th from left looks super cool ( am looking for something like this but not very "pointy" on the cup there). Any sifus know what model are those?[attachmentid=2280685]

It will be great if u guys/gals out there can help me with this.

I saw Logitech UE 400vi and 600vi and kinda like it but not tested the sound quality and other brand which have equivalent price range, eg Sennheisei, kilpsch, AKG, and so on.

Please suggest be best bang of buck ranging from Rm100-300, and if possible give me link who to buy from in here for genuine, good seller who give good price.. Thanks in advance..

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

haha no from sarawak

haha its a nice hp, but just wondering is it good for movies and gaming from kuching
