I have a budget of RM100+RM150(not sure if I can squeeze the RM150). So far I am looking at Sennheiser's MX500 and MX550. Any opinions on these or are there any better ones? I would considered the Grado SR60 too but it does not look so portable (correct me if I am wrong on this

). General uses are for listening some vocal music, some instrumental, orchestric, minimal to no gaming, not for street use.
Side question: What are the differences between earphones/headphones/semi-aural/etc? What are IEMs?
If u dont mind clip-ons, try the KSC-75 instead
I've tried the Senn MX400 which is supposed to sound very close to the 500, didnt like them at all
IEM - In-ear monitors, aka canalphones. Those kinda earphones that are inserted into your ear canal
Earphones - The normal small stuff that comes stock with every mp3 player
Headphones - The traditional phones with the band going over your head. But i guess behind-the-neck, clipons and newer styles could be called this too?
Headset - Headphones with a microphone
supra-aural etc...cant remember which is which liao
