careful, u might be recomended something that costs RM1k and an amp to go with it

dont think there's any that's particularly good below RM50, maybe u can get someone to share with u and get something below RM100

they should be different models
and i dont think etymotic went white cause of apple

under RM200 get the HP890
under RM100 get the HP800

Dominant :

I'm kinda lazy to go more detailed on those headphones cause it's been asked and discussed many times before, think if u search u can still find some threads open

But just take the advise above, either 1 of those 2 depending on your budget
Dont think you'll regret getting either one

Oh yeah, and the HP890 is replaced by the HP895 now

Uhh...what did u think i was recommending those 2 for then?
The hp-985 does pretty good for both music and gaming
Unless u prefer a little less bass and better clarity, u could go for a Sennheiser HD497 at slightly above RM200
Below that, i think the HP895 is your best bet

Here's a short review by The Scorge which was in the User Review thread :

Alamak : u said it has a very good sound for its price, but is overpriced?

Alamak, ever thought of doing this mod for your PX100?
http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread....light=px100+mod

Was just looking around for stuff that i can mod
No idea where i can get the foams

wonder if i could just cut the shape out from a piece of sponge...

any idea if there's anything that can be done to make my HD565 clamp harder on me head?
sorta make the headband bend more

I'd take the PX100, using 1 right now and it's pretty good
Dont mind it not being tight since it's so light, less tightness = better comfort for my ears

Wait a while for Alamak to come and bash the MX500 for being extremely overpriced over here
Google a bit and check out how much they are overseas

Btw, i remember reading a lot of ppl saying that the MX500 is better than the 550

check out my reply to your previous question on the last page
among those 5 i'd still take the PX100

but i think you might wanna decide whether u want headphones or earphones first
if you're gonna be carrying it in your pocket together with your player, i wouldnt take any of the headphones

if you're wearing spectacles, forget the kcs-55
i broke mine out of frustration cause they were so damn uncomfortable

if it was hp890 vs hd497

hp890 - better comfort, stronger bass
hd497 - less bass, better clarity

i'd go for the HP895 simply for the comfort and better looks + a stand too

most ppl says it sux

just go to www.head-fi.org and do a search

nah head-fi isnt local

i think for the Sony EX it's more of a crappy quality control thing...
those that are okay will last, those (most) that arent can die anytime

alamak will prolly say it both sux

i have the EX71 and its pretty good for me, no complaints since i dont really have golden ears
plus there's a simple mod that can be done, modding your own stuff seems fun

if you're looking for something for your comp, are canalphones (the ER6i) still in your list?
i would definately go for full sized cans instead

lol...guess if u find it more comfortable there's nothing wrong with it

which has more valur for your money?
considering that u can get 2-3 sets of the HP895 for the price of a HD555, i'd say the HP895
but if u can afford it, the 555 should be worth your money
in the end its more of how much it's worth to you, most ppl wouldnt be spending RM500 on headphones no matter how good they sound

that's what i meant by "its how much its worth to you"
49 out of 50 of the ppl i know wouldnt spend RM500 on any type of headphone

i agree with u so there's no offending there, the 555 would probably be worth the RM500
but he asked to compare with the 895 @ RM180 for a price/performance
and as usual almost all the time the cheaper one wins IMO
but as usual also, sound is a subjective thing, thats why its up to how much its worth to you

nah, its how much good sound will be worth to them
kinda like how i dont ever see myself buying a RM500K car even if i had RM10mil in my bank account, but some would definately go for it even if they had to take a loan

anyway, as i've stated, the 555 would be worth your money if u could afford it, if not then just get the 895

it should sound pretty different than the PX100
i'll let someone else comment since i can only guess

u can roughly guess by the price
it's not considered high-end

he's just not seen what the real stuff are like, pricewise and sound

i guess if u look at it at as a matter of oppinion kinda thing, it depends on the person himself
to someone like me, a RM1500 hp would be pretty much very high end but i'm sure the ppl who own stuff that cost 5 times more wouldn't think it's high end

i had the ksc 55 a while ago
sounds pretty good for it's price
i felt it was kinda bassy though

cant comment on the comfort, but if he wears specs avoid it at all costs

the ksc 75 should be a better buy
search around head-fi.org, it's supposed to sound extremely good for what you're paying
there's a simple mod that can be done too
