Just back from Jaben booth, auditioned the Shure SRH240, I find DT231 sounds signature suits me.

see, Beyer rule again

AiAiAi Pipes

lol, no la, I have a tough time on choosing either DT231 or the Shure SRH240, end up getting DT231. After taking it home to use, found out my laptop can't drive the DT231 well without amp. Y I NO TAKE THE AMP BUNDLE?!?!

Hippo Shroom EB, Crossroads Woody 2, interested find me~

- My Rig: samsung galaxy s / Laptop
- Type of usage: Gaming/Casual portable listening
- File format:ALAC/FLAC/mP3
- Music genre:every
- Budget:Less than RM100
- Headphone/ earphone type:headphone closed type
- Other requirements (if any): something better than stock earphone

huh? dt231 oni wor..maybe u haven burn in yet leh

Ya lol, I also dunno why. Will see the result after burn-in.

Can I know the reason you're selling ur woody 2 and hippo ?

If you like a bit more bass => DUNU Trident. If you're more into vocals => DUNU Ares.
DUNU Hephades is slightly over your budget but is great for instrumentals and is more balanced than trident & ares.

For your budget the RE0 has always been crowned the king but the sound signature is more for analytical listeners. The Sunrise Xcape IE is also up there competing against RE0 with a sound signature that's targeted more to the market of average listeneres.

Otherwise there's Meelectronics CC51 and my Brainwavz M4 that would also perform well for your genre

Actually I'm really new to these ; As in I don't really know how to differentiate good and bad ; or had never been exposed to any =.=....low mid , high i don't even understand ...ahem.

So i'm super confused with the brands and models already, lol

Then just get this:

u get dt231 or dt231pro?

I'm confused ; but am gonna add more details

- My Rig:iPhone / Laptop
- Type of usage: Gaming/Casual portable listening
- File format:ALAC/FLAC/mP3
- Music genre:Pop (Kpop) - would consist of various genres , OSTs and instrumentals (Usually soft , slow - ex River Flows in You)
- Budget: <RM300
- Headphone/ earphone type:In-ear earphones (Unless someone can convince me to get a headphone instead)
- Other requirements (if any): The cables doesn't tangle much - easier to handle. Durable ; am seeing Brainwavz M4 so far.

if u r new to this, i suggest u lower ur budget, save for future(if u really kena poisoned 99)

Burn-in will give same result too. Don't listen to the one misleading u above. The problem is not on ur headphones. I assume u're running it directly through laptop's 3.5mm jack hole without a USB DAC. Laptop's soundcard has always been very very suckish just so u know. U should invest in an entry-level DAC if u are on tight budget, say GoVibe DAC which is around RM150-200 AFAIK.

lol u r making me stress

Sent you via PM~ Check inbox~

dt231pro

Yeap, that's why I kinda sad for not taking Jaben's kind offer. However, does DAC alone can make it louder? I thought amp only makes it louder, because I got a Wolfson usb DAC, volume sounds more lower.
