You have to burn the she9500 for awhile then only the bass and treble starts to kick in. If still not statisfy, you are better of lloking for other in-ear headphones. The clarity is not that great and the midrange of this earphone is so-so only. The only factor is the price... the cheapest in-ear i think. Check this out, Something that might interest you guys

Can anyone recommend me good earphones below rm100? Preferably those earbuds types.

Before that, some of the ear/headphones i've tried :
philips she9500 - sometimes sounds good, sometimes sounds really bad
senn mx400 - I like the way it sounds, but spoiled already and want to look for better ones
koss ksc-75 - nice treble and bass. But at times it pokes my ears. The design also quite ugly, dun dare to bring it outside

others are some sony and aiwa earphones that comes with walkman and discman; doesn't sound so nice with my mp3 player.

how about the mdr-e888? heard people say this thing so great.... can anyone give thier comments?

ep630 is the in-ear types right? I prefer those earbuds. Dowan people borrow them end-up with ear wax

Anyways, any ideas where to get 888? I saw in singapore selling them for like SGD65 izzit cheap?

wow....it is that expensive? Should have bought in singapore last time >_<

Just wondering is there something better than koss ksc-75 which is not a clip-ons base?

i noe la.. what i meant was something slightly more than its price range. Because I thought they sounded quite good too bad its a clip-ons >_<

I have both of them though... and a hp890.
In terms of comfortable, HP805>KSC75
Sound quality: KSC75> HP805

But sometimes the hp805 would sounds nicer and the ksc-75 would be a bit too bright

With your budget, there's no way you can get noise cancelling with good sound quality. The problem with ksc75 is:

1. clip-ons (not a problem for all but maybe a bit bother for me)
2. sound leak badly
3. and there is no isolation at all

btw, you shouldn't be complaining much with that budget



in-ear is the ones that goes deep inside right? the one that ppl are talking bout in this forum is the im716 and is said to be good. You can get them in singapore for RM350-380. And is retailed at USD150 if i'm not mistaken.

haven't try the Razer yet but i think you might as well get the creative since it is selling pretty cheap right now (RM59 in pc fair)

It is said to be better. You may want to get more info about it in head-fi. Anyway it is very hard to get alessandro here. The only option is to order online...

You cannot get them in Singapore as well... >_<

Heheh lucky you. I just got mine from EFN Everything recabled. Grado is going to cost you SGD120 for the sr-60 while the sr-80 = SGD170 last time. Good luck to you anyways

Shudn't be a problem if you throw away the box

Try ksc-75 they sound pretty good for rm70. Probably the best if less than rm100. These are clip-ons though.

or can try hp805 or the SHP2700 for rm80. hp805 not bad shp2700 haven't tried yet but should probably sound the same.

Btw, stating how much is your budget helps ..

getiing them from bulk orders would be good.

maybe u can try those from sonic gear. The sound quality is unknown though

Ksc75 have the more fun sounding. Sound nice unamped. hp895 is a little bit laid back compare to ksc75 imo.

If both amped? I'm using cmoy only. If i'm not mistaken, the ksc-75 sounds a little bit like grado, more solid sounding however, depends on your source, amping them could make them sound like volume booster. The hp895 picks a little bit more detail and better sound stage as well. It sounded better with amp but not to the point where it is whole different headphone if you know what i mean .

Personally i like the ksc-75 unamped though. It feels more air my ears and it sounded like speakers at times

about hp895 and 8900 if they are using the same drivers they should sound more or less the same? Someone mind to clear things up?

I suggest you to test them first before getting them though

Hm...unamped I'd say the ksc75 sound nicer to my ears.

if amped hm...have to compare again. Its been awhile since i used my hp890(sold to pcwork) hp895 have some comfort issues

You can try ask pcworks since he have 4 hp890 and 3 ksc75

Just got mine (t20) from goliath. I would say they are good enough unamped. I'm not sure how much this thing benefits from amp but IMO they sounded slightly different, probably the obvious thing is the bass sounded a little bit deeper and punchier.

Other than that, not much. I would use equalizer anytime to increase the bass response. It is too hasle for me to bring amp. It is more practical too

I can only compare them with my she9500. I can say the she9500 offer more bass in terms of quantity. The mid more recessed compared to the t20, treble is lacking as well, more detail from the t2o as well. Do take note that I'm comparing them unamped. And for isolation, the t20 is more superior. For comfort, i think the philips is slightly better because the it doesn't go inside your ears too deep. The built quality for the t20 also feels much more better. The wire used are something like the earphones from sony psp earphone.
So, to those who is planning to get the she9500, my advise is...dun get it Get this one instead. If not you will end up like me; the philips now seems like its going to collect dust. Or anyone here interested with them here can pm me
