Any good and stylish headphone amps i can get out there on the cheap, hopefully solid state and has good availability? Need something that can drive a sennheiser without much fuss.

Although i was looking into DIY to do the trick, i kind of reasoned, with all the time wasted, by the time i was finished with the design and build, i would be past into the middle ages, and damn am i impatient or what  tongue.gif

Thanks for your time smile.gif

hello everyone,

i'm looking for headphones that are around RM1k, any reccomendations?

i've tried AKG 271s and AKG501, but i cant compare since i never heard other cans, so i need the opinions of u guys here.

i'm looking for clean mid&highs, i love vocals, and i dont have much preference for bass, as long as its ample bass i'm quite happy with it.

thanks.

AKG new flagship , k701, earphonesolution only cost 1k++.

^ man, we should make another gathering. the HD555, HD595, HD600, HP1000 with a few tube amps, solid state amps, portable goodies, and yada-yada.

it's much easier to choose your setup if you could audition it.

biggrin.gif , no more just hd600. Our forumer already all the way to HD650. Maybe akg 701. rolleyes.gif

IMO, ksc75 is nice hp for its price point, for those who have sr60, is about 60-70% of it.

Anyway, you will not linger long to go next step. For portable usage is great.

Do any user found it replay voval a bit harsh? Just not refined enu for my liking.

Aiks, last few months i put it on sale, no body pm tongue.gif.

(Anyway is sold )

How about Wired Hi-fi Headphone? Streetwear headphone is better?

PS: Does Sennheiser sell the speaker sponge for HD 440 II?

Looking for something that does it for me in the Rock and Pop department. But i'm torn between the horrendously ugly RS-2 from Grado and the Not so ugly but flimsy AKG-701 (over priced over here tho)

Reason : Well, even with an Amp the HD650s sound abit too suited for anything besides Classical tunes, which i love ofcourse. But who doesn't love the dirty sounds of badly recorded Jpop once in awhile eh?

So, i'm really torn between the both, although the main reason i'm shying away from the AKG is the insane price over here, about 2900 ringgit and it seems flimsy, i'm not a small or careful person at that tongue.gif too. By my estimate the grado RS-2 should be far more expensive and the 325I be in the AKG 701 price range, but this is KL, it's all screwed up.

So just give your honest opinions and reason on which i should get, and thanks for any advice.

EDIT: I don't mind any other recommendations as long as they're sound.

701 so pricey meh? asiasound quote me rm2k++, anyway still is very the expensive here.

My previos experience with grado sr60, no doubt grado quite suit rock/pop coz the sound is foward and in the face and make you tap into the music.


The best thing is try them out, anyway AFAIK 325i and RS2 not always in stock in music by design and 701 now is in stock with asiasound.

I believe Asia Sound has them for RM2.6k but discount max till RM1.9k ++
They only offer one year warranty and charge so outrageoesly high and depend on your mouth to get good discount.

This could be the one of the highest in asia. Envy peoples in taipei, most head phones there are dirt cheap and reasonably priced and people can offer the same service or even better.

i'm thinking maybe i should get the HD555 from you first, sell off the HP1000 and then save up for either an AKG K701 or HD650
But seriously, when is anyone going to suggest me anything? I sense gas + sparks here sad.gif
*
imo, if u plan to upgrade go straight to 650/701. i did not listen hp1k long enough.

but have listened 650,650+zu,701.

Brief impression: 701 is more forward than 650, more detail(rather than say more easy to sense detail), sound stage is wider. But 650 more bassy and tight and sometimes feel a bit bloated but still acceptable to my ear. It have thicker sound as relative to 701, Vocal and music presentation more backward like you sit more behind when listen to orchestra. Vocal 701 is more nuetral wheres 650 more lush. I'm not sure i like which one more, but i was obsessed by 650 too in some area.

Overall, both are excellent, imo. My own 701 is less forgiving to badly record album. doh.gif.
