Is this headphones suitable for my taste?

Hello sifus,

Need your recommendation for headphone

- My Rig: Nokia 300 and soon planning to get the Lumia 800
- Type of usage: Mostly music and some videos
- File format: MP3, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLAC
- Music genre: Rock, Alternatives, Trance, House
- Budget: below RM 500
- Headphone/ earphone type: Headphones
- Other requirements (if any): I think I'm a bass person, currently using Roccat Kave for my PC, satisfied with the performance and planning to buy an audiophile headphone for travel usage and music. Need couple of recommendations

AKG K430 or K518LE

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I think I will get a low-end one for now and in the future I will buy mid-high range headphones. Not much budget at the moment for 1k+ Headphones yet. Anyway, Thanks again! will definitely check these headphones out!

hey sifu need some help. thanks in advance

looking for earphones that have the sound quality .. say like Beyerdynamic DTX 101 iE ?
and around that price range too..

prefer brands like a-jays, seinheser,klipsch,nakamichi

ps: anyone interested in a brand new klipsch image x10 ? pm me.

Can I have other option beside AKGs?

[+] Beyerdynamic DT440 (RM 560)
[+] Sony MDR-PQ1 (~RM 319)
[+] Aerial7 Tank (~RM 300)

Thanks, will look into the options

-My Rig: Laptops
- Type of usage: For musics and movies only, no gaming
- File format: mp3 and all range of video files
- Music genre: mostly pop and soft musics, no rock stuffs
- Budget: between 200-300
- Headphone/ earphone type: headphone, closed or open is ok
- Other requirements (if any): produces delicate sound perhaps? crispy sound id possible.

I was checking out and found out ATH AD300 was much recommended, just want to ask is there any other build? and is M35 usable with laptops?

and also, i found out the ATH audiophile T series quite decent and cheap as well? like ath t500.

Can tell the difference between these three?

Who has use Final Adagio II before? Cant find any reviews of this IEM. Any feedback for this IEM??

[+] ATH-AD300 (RM269) : Air dynamic + Open-back + 3D wings tech (superb comfortable) + Audiophile headphone
[+] ATH-M35 (RM278) : Studio monitor + Closed-back + Portable + Flat bass headphone (usable with laptop)
[+] ATH-T500 (RM219) : Dynamic + Closed-back + Balanced (suitable for all music) + Entry level headphone

You might want to consider Final Audio Design Adagio III (Dynamic driver + B.A.M technology) since it offer more than Final Audio Design Adagio II (Dynamic driver)

[+] Final Audio Design Adagio III - Dynamic driver + B.A.M technology for rich bass and wide soundstage
[+] Review : Head-Fi.org

bass a lot, dark sound, mids normal, high abit weak
this is all from my memories with this iem, oni for reference lol

- Your rig (ipod and laptop)
- What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
- File format used in your source mp3
- Genre of music you listen to (indie rock alternative rock)

i just want a earphone thats worth buying and less than 200 if can 150
