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 :

If you are in KL, go audition cd580 in JJ, IOI Mall. The record store there has this cd580 which is for cd testing purpose

current price for hp 200 is rm 65. can get it at kedai seng heng

yeah what i mean is, for RM300 the price is really good. but at this point in time, it's worth alot more less....probably around RM180...that makes it even better in terms of price performance ratio!

i know what I said is kinda like conflicting each other, pretty hard to explain it leh...

Whats the grip of owning a Closed Headphone? Arent is great all music pumping out seal inside your ears.

Anyway it seems like Sony closed headphone doesnt worth much from getting it. Perhaps i will just settle for SHp895....

Thanks for your advice.

lot sof things to do with ambient noise, and sound reflection. almost all good headphones are open design it's just a more ideal design. There are of coz some very good closed phones as well, but they cost a fortune.

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

i got some comfies.....but no 414 pads maybe i should try bowl pad mod haha. no, not yet tried it, my px100 is given to my gf she uses it all the time now...I'll try it when i have the time

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

Hi there all, am planning to get a Shure E2C. But am curious as to why there are two different packaging for it.

Firstly, there's the purple one.



And there's the red one.



Are they the same? Or is one of them an imitation version.

different batches, don't worry about it. I doubt there is any immitation IEM out there. Btw, you might wanna search for E2G (black color) they are the same price btw.

ah, ic. But, physically, are there any differences in terms of accessories or sound I wonder?

The cheapest I found so far was RM280 dlvd from U.K. Which is a hell lot of difference from the 99usd RRP. That is why I was asking if this IEM had an imitation.

Oh, isn't the G series is targeted for gamers? There's no diff except the casing is black instead of translucent or is there more? But I won't be using it for gaming though.

no, they should come with the usual accessories. Yeah the G series is made for gamers, I dunno much about it but I believe the sound quality should be the same

hey ya fellas.. sori 2 interupt. i wanna get myself a new ear phone. which is better, mx550? px100? pmx60?
where exactly can i get one coz in low yat cant find.. TQ!

u can get in mediaplex in mid valley or klcc, or can direct contact the senn distro as stated in 1 of the pinned thread.
i haven tested the mx550, but my friend complaint that the bass of pmx60 isnt as
good as sony MDR-G74SL streetstyle headphone.

px100 might b a better choice among the 3. its priced at rm199 at mediaplex, but direct contact the distro might fetch rm140 include of postage (if i m not wrong). however, its quite loose and cant clamp at my ear,tat's y i don like it.

just my 0.2 baht

thanx a bunch! after googling around i narrowed to px100 & mx550. so any other suggestions? anybody..

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

sigh.. settled for Sony MDR-XD200..... don't whats the special switch for... it shows.. Music or Movie mode... what does that mean?

Will open type cause the music to release else where? Between CLOSED and OPEN... is it Open type helps better treble? While closed type helps more bass?

Perhaps next round should go for SHP895 then ....

OH MY GOD!!!!! The xd200 is a total junk! I bought it sometime ago and it requires super heavy equalization to get "ok" sound quality out of it. It just sound so damn freaking muffled! The music mode opens a plastic flat inside the driver housing, makes it semi opened therefore slightly more airy. sorry man, I didn't mean to sound like an @ss or anything, but the xd200 totally don't worth RM90 at all. I'd be happier with a Koss portapro/ksc 75 despite not being a fullsize can.

Is okay... At least i know how bad is that XD-200..... thanks for your point of view...

may i know whats the models code means? XD models and CD models? Is it about Close Up headphones?

Thanks..
