Can anyone compare the Denon AH-D1001 against Fischer Audio FA-004?

I would shortly say D1001 has a more mid eccentric sound signature, more warm sounding while FA004 I never listened to it before. You have to buy based on reviews.

Hi guys,

I'm an expat from Australia now living in Melaka, maklaysia. So glad I found these forums. I walked around Low Yat asking about headphones and kept being shown 'amazing quality' RM 80 phones from Creative etc. When I asked about Sennheis/AKG/Shure/etc I just got blank looks. Anyways..

I'm after 2 pairs of headphones. Listed seperately below:

- My Rig: HTC Incredible S
- Type of usage: Home/Office
- File format: MP3 320 / FLAC
- Music genre: Trance; almost exclusively psychedelic. Rolling bass with lots of squelchy techno and melodies over the top.
- Budget: RM 500-1000
- Headphone/ earphone type: Ear-Pad/Full-Size
- Other requirements:
-Some noise isolation would be good. Nothing open backed. Even though the office is quiet, my house can be crazy (with my wifes 3 sisters running amok!).
-Something that doesn't fatigue too quickly, thinking 1-2 hours of use at a time.
-A location/store to buy any recommendations - I'm new here and don't know my way around much! blush.gif

I was thinking maybe HD 25-1 II by Sennheiser here?

***

- My Rig: HTC Incredible S
- Type of usage: Sport/Gym
- File format: <as above>
- Music genre: <as above>
- Budget: RM 150-300
- Headphone/ earphone type: earbud
- Other requirements: - nothing really. I've tried various Shure IEM's in the past for this but due to IEM nature of having to be 'in'/fitting well, they always seem to slip out. Maybe that was just my weird ear/sweat or something. Also Shure's cables have always broken in the past for me, so something a little more durable wouldn't go astray.

***

Is there any stores with demo 'phones? Obviously there's no substitute for listening to your own music on headphones before you buy. Elsewise any store recommendations (can be in KL or within 90 mins of Melaka) with good people would be fantastic too. Thankyou for your time guys!

Hey, trance music we do have a few recommendations but well, prolly not Sennheiser (sorry Sennheiser fans), but most importantly is you get what you want. Come Jaben to try out and get to pick what you love with your own ears.
