Hi guys,
Furthermore, anyone knows the technical specs of the original iPod earphone that comes with the device? Any idea whether the lower range of Sennheiser (PX100 & PX200) can increase audio experience when plugged into the iPod without going through amplifier, if compared to the original iPod earphone?

I intend to get a better headphone/earphone for my iPod but I'm concerned on how much sound quality improvement will I experience if I use it on my Nano with songs coded into 128kbps AAC?

Thank you.

I have the PX100, using it straight out of my iPod Mini (which should be a little worst than your Nano)
They're pretty good and i'd say a huge improvement over the stock ipod earphones

About the in-ear thing, if u dont mind headphones instead, they should sound better than the in-ears at this price
PX100 sounds better than the EX71 IMO, but i still need the EX71s cause its more portable
They dont really block much noise, at low volumes u still can hear lotsa outside noise, but if u blast them a bit you'll be isolated

First thing u might wanna decide is what kinda phones you're looking for
If u need the portability then its earphones, if u dont mind slightly bigger then the headphones would probably sound better (i've never heard all of them myself or read a comparison among them, so i cant say which is actually better)
Some ppl dont like normal headphones cause it messes their hair and stuff

Hi KilJim,
I would say the sound quality of earbud that comes with my Nano is pretty good. As such, I won't be dumping them away.

Perhaps a headphone is more suitable for me and I'll be testing the PX100 if I drop by Midvalley. When I need portability, I'll use back the earbud, else will be the PX100.

Another headphones that attract me are Grado SX60 (recommended by Alamak), Sennheiser EH Series & HD Series. I believe the EH & HD series have better noise insulator if compared to the PX?

Thanks.

any1 know how is Edifier Earphone H260 quality.?
i went to pc fair edifier show room.1st day got demo.then 2nd day dun have demo alreaddy...the promoter there told me very nice....
any comment>?

Good idea, better test first also. It might not be to your liking

The SR60 u mean?
Should be pretty good based on all the good user reviews. But its priced roughly RM270, might be a little above your budget

The EH & HD series arent portable, should have a little better isolation but they're not full sized so they wont be as comfortable
If you're looking for something to use at home, why not go all out with full-sized cans

dont think sr60 is suitable for portable use coz it leaks a lot

You can consider Philips SBC820 ear clip roound-the-neck phone. Their bass is nice and nice to wear for long hour too.

Guys, need some help here. With a budget of < RM150, which one is better, the Philips SHE9500(RM99) or Senheiser MX500?(RM 115). My SR60 is too troublesome to be moving around with me. Thanks.

Malas to search through the forum pages...

Anyone can recommend me a cheap(RM50-RM100) headphones/earphones?
I'm using it for casual gaming, which is better? headphones or earphones?

thx once again

Philips SHP800 I guess :/

Sorry, the price I quoted was from Best Denki, you know la the price over there..
I think I might get the Senheiser MX500.

why not Sony EX71?
Anyway if u get Senheiser ,pls give us some review.

How much did you get yours for ? There's this shop in 1 U asking for 290 and I think thats a bit too steep.

PX100?
I got them second hand, but a new one should cost around RM200
Definately not as high as RM290
Try Mediaplex in MV or call up their distro, check the where to buy what thread

Should be around rm200, check bluetin for reference. What shop so scary ? Actually they are put stone on their own toes.

I bought a new PX100 for RM190 at Mediaplex in Midvalley.

Sound is pretty promising but the bass is a bit weak to me. Treble is fine. I can feel the improvement from the upgrade of iPod's earbuds. But overall I'm satisfied with it.

Might seek into higher end Sennheiser headphones in future for my non-portable device, haha

Nooo...go for the Grado path instead!!!

Haven't tried the Grado. I was interested int he SX60 but it's quite hard to locate a SX60. Furthermore, Grado's design isn't that good if compared to Sennheiser.

Somehow, I heard Grado will be releasing a series of portable phones next year. We shall see how it goes

Nevertheless, both Grado & Sennheiser are great headphone manufacturers, IMO.

Thanks.
