Did u even bother clicking on the link before typing that?
It IS a pair of earphones
But you didnt get what i meant

QUOTE(baggins @ Apr 13 2006, 09:28 PM)
what kiljim mean is, u must be specific when u seek for recommended earphone..how much ur budget, what type of earphone, if u looking for specific brand, ask what type of model, expected sound quality..too general question, there u go, USD900 for earphone only, can u afford this?..be specific my fren..

Yeay, you got what i meant rclxms.gif

the panasonic, i think i'll have to order online.

IM717...was very interested in getting it a while ago
But after thinking about it...i barely use my portables, so cancel plan and spend more on full sized phones tongue.gif
Would be a great buy though, read up alot about it on head-fi

Why this thread doesn't make a short list for prices of best headphone/earphone grouped by budget? i'll start:

<50 : Sony earphone (for w800, but is 3.5 mm jack)
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=280719

50-100: Philips SHE 9500 - Sennheiser MX500

100-150: Creative ep-630 - Sony EX51

150-200: (clueless on this part and so on.. anyone?)
*
I wouldnt agree with your recommendations
Anyway i think only a few stuff can be called Generally Recommended under a certain budget
The rest are up to preferance, not a good idea to recommend it to everyone

btw, EP-630 for under RM150?
Where?

well, actually that one is just a sample..

wondering if any forumer might want to make such thread, since i am no expert on earphones...

since such guidelines will help other forumers alot...

i thought the user preference is depends only the type 'phone:
full-headphone / in-ear phone / normal earphone...

PS: I bought the ep-630 for 22 Pounds, equivalent to ~150 RM

btw, for the above list, i would be happy to modify it if other forumers wanna share their knowledge on what 'phone and in what budget....
*
Nope, the type of sound would be 1 of the main things too
Some ppl enjoy the EX71/51, others cant stand it

Its 22 pounds there, but u cant even find it over her e sweat.gif
I wouldnt really bother with the list, ppl will still come asking "XXX or YYY?" laugh.gif

Besides, he already said he doesnt want in-ears

Trance addict?
If you like excessive bass then the PX100 is for you tongue.gif
Pretty portable for headphones too

Haha, guess you're right

Btw, u might wanna ask around first to see where u can get the PX100 cheapest
Heard that at Mediaplex its above RM200, while some have seen them around RM150 sweat.gif

People like to say "Cheap thing no good, good thing no cheap".

no matter how much time/money to spent on any hp/ep u r willing to pay.
Just give urself to Koss kcs75 one time.

no matter how, dun settle wif PX100.
U better spent the xtra cash to get a basic headamp.

"I need headamp.. ~~ rclxm9.gif"

Oh.. i'd using Grado SR60 as portable hp almost one year. At least it can block the outside noise esp the Bus engine sound.

He's actually into trance, so if he needs lots and lots of bass then the PX100 would be a better choice for him instead

the UM1 is pretty much the crappiest pair of equipment i have owned so far..  i cant help but NOT recommend it..  laugh.gif

actually, dont bother with the UM2 as well.. really not worth the money. muddy, bloated, detail missing.. sounds like an overpriced EX71  rolleyes.gif

Is RM520 for a new pair of Sennheiser HD555 acceptable?  All Sennheiser headphones come with Sennheiser's world-wide warranty, correct?  This is the price that I'm getting from Mediaplex KLCC >_<

Edit:

Furthermore, does anyone know the price on a pair of Bose Triports?  What would you recommend, the HD555 or Bose Triport headphones? smile.gif
*
Yo man biggrin.gif

RM520 is not such a bad price, but as stated above u might as well get it from Davis and save yourself a bit instead

You can expect to hear mostly bad news about Bose stuff around here tongue.gif

I'd say try the Edifier H260 instead
It's just below RM100

Btw, do u need them to be canalphones / earphones?
If u dont mind clipons there are better choices

The 595/555 isnt really a bassy choice AFAIK sweat.gif

Perhaps some BeyerDynamics, DT990 (or something like that)
Oh wait, u want closed phones...how bout looking around for Audio-Technica's A series

QUOTE(Nine @ May 18 2006, 07:57 PM)
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 tongue.gif). 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 sweat.gif

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 laugh.gif
