brother thanks for the rec.. im noob in audiophile... but AKG you recommend didnt score as high as the grado... but again i might be wrong.. just wanna have a headset that is good for my mullah

The Grado being an open can is meant for you to appreciate in a quiet environment. If you are moving around in public places, the external noise is going to affect both the sound quality and volume. The leaked sound from the Grado can be a nuisance to the people around you as well.

Personally I like the K370 because it is more balanced in terms of sound. The Q460 ... oops! It should be Q350 is more musical with more bass.

I need a gaming headphone which doubles as a music headphone too. Caught between ATH-AD700 vs Sennheiser HD 595. I'm not sure which is better of the two. People who own this can give some comments which you think comes out trumps.

Do consider the AiAiAi TMA-1. Google around, you will be surprised!

Just go for it if you are happy with it nod.gif Can't expect established Audiophile brands to come any where close in terms of price but will definitely offer much better sound quality.

- Type of usage: Mostly music, gaming secondary
- File format: Mp3/FLAC
- Music genre: Mostly all except hip-hop, rap
- Budget: RM500-Rm800, may consider close to RM1000 if it's really good and worthwhile
- Headphone/ earphone type: No preferences but would prefer Circumaural, something similar to my current sennheiser HD515. Just prefer priority on comfort
- Other requirements: Not really a bass head, prefer clarity on my music smile.gif

For studio quality clarity and long hours comfort, did recommend the 2010 Sound + Image headphones of the year award AKG K242HD. It is the consumer version of the legendary K240 headphones, a recoding studio standard throughout the world. However, you will need an amp for it blush.gif

I know I'm asking a totally noob question:

What is the difference in quality of earphones between those below RM50, those below RM200, those between RM300-RM600, and those above RM1000?

A Perodua Viva has 4 wheels, 4 doors, seats 5. A Ferrari has 4 wheels as well but 2 less doors and seats only 2. Why then the Ferrari cost about 50 units of the Viva hmm.gif

Thanks for the pointers. I'm new in this area and have no way of telling whether the quality is bad unless it really bad. I've been using Creative EP-220 for almost a year and one side is spoiled now. I am looking of a new pair of earphones. Any recommendations for RM150 or below?

Something similar in design to your existing earbuds with much better performance will be:

AKG K315

Can someone recommend me headphones which is

around RM500 budget
have good design & look (comparable to dr.dre's solo if possible) because I will be bringing it to college whistling.gif

I don't want full cans because I'm wearing spectacles and it would be uncomfortable... so something like on the ears will do (like ksc-75 or portapro)

If you click the link in your post you'll notice the '...' in the url. The link is incomplete. This happens when you highlight a long link like the one you provided. LYN shortens it by adding the '...'
To get the whole link, you need to right click on the link and click on 'copy link address' (I'm using Chrome, might be different for other browsers) and then paste it when you're posting a reply.

On Mac, can't right click sad.gif Cheers bro!
