beyerdynamic 60ohm series, like the dt770 or dt880, or even lower a bit the dt440

Music + Comfort + Closed-back + Budget RM1000 headphones:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-A900X
[+] Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 80ohms

thanks bro..DT 770 Pro was on my list..but after read some review my mind totaly change..

I only can think of westone 2 and shure se425 ATM. Your preferred sound? IE8 isnt bad too if you can get it for under 1k

bro i like a neutral sound currently i'm using hd380pro. i'd like something similar

Guys, I need user opinions and experience. I was thinking of spending around RM700-900 on an IEM. Lately however I find myself less and less bringing my IEM out with me. Not to go jogging, going out by myself, none. As a result I'm looking at headphones now. But I will go out with headphone though. It's just that I find IEMs a bit too isolating sometimes and maybe that's why I don't go out with them as much.

For that price range, will a headphone perform better than an equivalently priced IEM? I'm looking at people who have tried/owned both IEM and headphone at that price. The only decent headphone I ever have is the Grado SR60i, and I don't have anything comparable in price to it. Exclude overpriced IEMs and headphones please. I'm talking real music pumpers.

Consider also these things:

-I listen to primarily rock and metal of many different kinds. Also piano and cellos, and rarely, orchestral music.
-Will be using laptop or a small portable player (like Sansas or Cubes or Hippos).
-Warm sound, goes deep into bass, fairly ear massaging bass. Don't mind recessed mids by a bit, but quite dislike sibilance. I am really still trying to find something with treble like the Shroom EB (I miss that IEM). If possible the headphone will have sparkle but not a very offensive high-mids elevation (like the Grado)
-If however someone would recommend an IEM that is the same as that, I welcome it. Preferably headphone though.
-Oh and on-ear or over-ear, doesn't matter. But I preer no leakage, so a closed design is priority.
-Look 'good enough' to walk outside with.

lets say on my history, yo know i had the ortofon eq7, price goes more than my current dt770/250, but still i go for dt770, why? no need portability, and sq wise is better than of eq7. i think for the same price level or somewhere around there, headphones will perform better, but iem will give u better portability

Whoops, I guess I was a little slow in editing there.
I would go out with the headphone sometimes. The reason with IEMs is that, everytime someone wants to talk to me, or that I have to answer the phone or whatever, I'd have to take them out. They're a bit of a b***h when trying to put back in.

then you have to put the factors on a balance, and weight it out yourself, for me, definitely headphone for the go, now my headache is finding a better replacement for my bravo tube, consider upgrade options

having owned before ms1i. dt440, dt770, srh440, i'd say srh440 or dt770 will be for you, easy drive and mild wild

bro how good dt770 pro in term of definition and overall clarity means that musical interest is rarely held for long.

well, for a mid ranged budget, this will do just enough, uncomparable to top tiers, but a great option in mid tiers

- Type of usage: Music
- File format: FLAC
- Music genre: Classical, Piano, any live concerts
- Budget: <RM200(except if there is a high difference between an IEM around RM180 and RM200+)
