Hello,

Whats the bassies IEM or headphone can get around RM150?
*
if you care only bass, try look around for any sennheiser cx300 series, creative ep630 (find original, there are lotsa fake now), not sure how much these two IEM cost now. or maybe add lil bit and get koss portapro headphone.

Monster Jamz got 2 version, one come with mic/remote and without mic/remote.
since i am limited budget, so i bought a Jamz (w/o mic)

I realize Jamz are more in Bass, Can someone tried Jamz and SE215 give me some opinion?
I got some 90's songs (Vocal) feel like SE215 will perform better because Jamz are more in BASS :-/
feel like buying the wrong one.
*
i've tried my friend's jamz before, it is more like 'on your face' sound, the soundstage not wide enough, and yes it is bass type IEM. maybe my preference only smile.gif or if you can go to jaben or to my place at equine park, you can try the Shure SE215 to compare with your jamz smile.gif

wondering if the skullcandy is good.. how much the original one?
*
not recommended. original price for headphones is above rm300, you can go to quicksilver midvalley to view it.

skullcandy is not an audiophile brand, they just famous because of the funky design not SQ at all.

Dear sifus, good evening!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
I was wondering whether you guys could recommend me a nice earphone (for laptop use) for a budget of RM100 (plus minus RM20)?
Not sure what I'm looking for, as long as it sounds nice and won't physically fall apart after a few months I'll be fine with it haha  laugh.gif

Many thanks, your help is much appreciated!!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
