It's really tiring to go through all the 130 pages so I'll just ask my question rightaway here.

I am looking for a headphone which can seal out a substantial amount of the outside noise, say 18-25 dB? Gonna use it for jamming and practicing purposes.

If you've got any recommendation, please state the brand, model, price & where I can get it. Not looking into something too pricey though. Thanks in advance!

Crossroad MylarOne???
heheheheh

Thanks for the recommendation. I was going to do it.
Starbuck coffee if he boughts from me

Any reviews and pictures on the Crossroad MylarOne? I can't seem to find it on google and wikipedia.

P.s. I'm looking into something that falls within the price range of RM150-RM200.

Reviews are already on my tread.

Or here. mylarone

help me to choose between grado sr60 or mylarone plz. i know that im comparing 2 different thing but i still can make decision by myself. look like both have their own venom poisoning me.

i will use my earphone with my mp3 player when :
- study(in open area, not in the library, so far ksc75 dont give me problem with the bad isolation).
- relaxing myself before i sleep.
- 9 hours straight when i travel by bus to my hometown. (the comfortness is mandatory here).

i like to listen to slow rock (lifehouse, switchfoot), pop (carrie underwood, john mayer, john legend) and michael buble type of music, is it classic? coz i think michael buble more on pop than classic.

hope some expert can give their opinion regard to my problem here. thank you

I have to agree both of them are marvellous piece of cans. SR60 is a 'headphone'. So if your study in a open area or travel on bus it will look weird with SR60.
As for the relaxing yourself before sleep, a headphone will be a better choice. Wearing a earphone at home seems like a weirdo. They can perform well in your genre of songs.
If I am you, I would get both

i'll go for the Grado. I never favor IEMs though. That's just me.

Moreover, Grados has higher 2nd hand value which you might wanna take into consideration if you gonna sell it off one day. People tend to be skeptical on 2nd hand IEMs... yellowish goo ooze out from the flanges is a sight to behold

Any recommend headphone/earphone for lappie user? I'm using lappie with Realtek AC97 only.

KSC75. Since you're using Lappie, KSC75's short cable length shouldn't be a problem for you. Enjoy

Thanks Sichiri. In my mind just thinking HP890 or HP895 only.

According to PCwork, HP890 performs better than HP895. I'm not too sure about the performance difference as I've not tested both of them yet. However, HP890 is no longer in production. Also, the HP895 is slowly being replaced by SHP8900.

wow, you sold off your SR60 and now hunting aiming for Philips? Grado really so bad meh?

@Ikan_semilang
Downgrade?

Hi, again. I've read the reviews on the TC20 and MylarOne and I can see that there are indeed alot of MylarOne lovers here. I am still puzzled by a few things and I really hope you guys here can enlighten me:-

1.) How do you actually determine whether a headphone/IEM is good by looking at its specifications without having to test it out by ear? How do you know it won't crackle when playing your favourite tune?

2.) Through your experiences, how much outdoor/ambient noises(in dB) can the MylarOne reduce? I've been trying to find this specification on most of the IEMs/headphones of different brands and none of them have it stated. I really need this information.

3.) How long is the cable of MylarOne?

4.) What is impedance?

And did you guys take the following into consideration before giving any recommendations?



Sorry for the bombardment of questions. I'm really new to these earphone stuffs and I'm not merely asking out of curiousity. Thanks again!

what headphone amps would u recommend for a budget of less than rm200 and where could i get them. thanks.

1. No, you wont know anything by the specification. Trust your own ears dude... Or read some of their reviews...
2. I am not sure, I think about 30%~70%? Really not sure... You can search for it though, it's the normal noise reduction a soft flex will do.
3. How tall are you? It's quite long even for a person of 185cm. The long cable can be cable managed (The cable manager is included in the package ) and there is a shirt clip, again for cable management.
4. There's a lot of professional can answer your question here... For musical stuffs like earphones, the higher the impedence, the more powerful the input signal must have in order to produce the same loudness of sound compare with a low impedence ones.

Custom made. Little Dot Micro+. Crossroad 2.
That's what I can think off...
