My Rig: I listen to my music on these devices: HTC Desire HD, Dell XPS M1530 (yes, the one with the incredibly crappy speakers )
Type of usage: Mostly music, some movies.
File format: mostly mp3s / what a regular consumer would listen to.
Music genre: lots of instrumental (take note), jazz-type songs, vocals, pop songs, a whole variety of others. However, I don't really listen to rap/R&B.
Budget: RM350 maximum.
Headphone/ earphone type: over-the-ear/full-sized headphones. (very firm with this. coz i have funny-shaped ears and the supra aural types hurt.)
Other requirements: looks nice? i work in the creative line so, eheh, aesthetics is kinda important to me. but it's no biggie if it's not.

FYI I'm a total noob. I've never owned a pair of headphones above RM50 in my life. So thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help me out!
I was thinking of Audio Technica ath-sq5, but I'm wondering if it's any good or if i could get something better with my maximum price range.

Thanks, mate i think it might be a bit over my budget, but if i really like it, i will accommodate for it.

I'm open to more suggestions, everyone planning to try a few first before i make my purchase.

wah, those look really nice i likey!
approx. how much are these? i'll give these a try definitely!
yeah kinda concerned that it's not really full-sized, but if it turns out to be comfy for my weird ears, and i really like it, i'm willing to let it slide
thanks a lot!

.... whuuut? I'm only 1.6 meters tall! lol.
thanks for pointing that out, I'll be sure to ask how long the cable is if I manage to audition it!

2 meters.. how exactly do you keep the wires.. er.. tame? or do you not travel/commute with them?
yeah, was thinking that eventually i'd wanna learn how to change the cable.. but i'm also quite ganas and clumsy, so there's a 50/50 chance that i'll kill it instead
