IMO true 5.1 / 7.1 surround is only obtainable via speakers. i know there are some headphones that has multiple chambers inside but they are still virtual (to me). a good headphones with a good DAC will give you very good positioning cues, no need for "surround sound" headphones.

Owh I need sifu recommendation for Clip On Mic...not Zalman one please my fren has one...too sensitive Budget less then 50.

- My Rig: iPad, laptop, BlackBerry Bold 9780
- Type of usage: Music, movies, iPad gaming
- File format: MP3, RMVB, MKV
- Music genre: R&B, Jazz, not too rocky type
- Budget: +/- RM 500 (Give me few options please)
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM only
- Other requirements (if any): Looks nice and cool? Prefer something that offers reasonable clarity and bass.

You can try Shure SE215. I don't know if the connector issue has been resolved in the newer batches though but warranty with them is always easy. They look cool I guess. Over-ear style, sleek compact body, comes in clear and black.

Fischer Audio Eterna V2, musical IEMs. At the very edge of your budget there's only one I can think of which is the Fischer Audio Tandem. It's a dual dynamic driver IEM. It's not the best looking in the world but the spec and look can sure pop out a conversation...and who knows maybe hails of praises? Dual dynamics can be very good sounding. I had one a while ago (Radius DDM) but judging from reviews the Tandems may have smaller amounts of bass than the DDM (the DDM was a bass MONSTER!). Try them out if you can.

btw i saw this deal on groupon...150 for Denon AH-D310...is it worthy? how is the quality for this brand?

Denons are a popular brand but their lower end models don't receive as much praises as their higher end counterparts. But the D310 looks pretty decent I guess.

Try Superlux headphones. Look for one suitable for you, there's a trusted seller over at the tradezone.

Reasonable clarity & bass + Budget RM500 IEM:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CK70PRO
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CKM500
[+] ZERO AUDIO ZH-BX500

Closed back + Circumaural + Budget RM200 headphones:

My Rig: Desktop with Wolfson WM8501 DAC
Type of Usage: Mostly music and movies....sometimes gaming
Music Genre: Mostly oldies and jazz
Budget: Not too sure...(will explain below)
Headphone/earphone type: Headphone
Other Requirements (if any): None


The reason why i stated that budget was unsure because i'm using a cheapo DAC...so I wouldnt want to get sometimes too cheap or too expensive as it will not be performing as it should be...so i hope someone can advice me on which headphones are recommended...thank you so much in advance...=)

why not try our "starter edition" superlux series, most are < Rm200 with acceptable SQ

- Your rig: htc one x, pc
- What type of usage: music,games( not really important, i only play dota)
- File format used in your source:.mp3
- Budget: <250
- Genre of music you listen to: any type of music
- Headphone/ earphone type: closed back/ circumaural
- Other requirements (if any): mic and sound enhancement that my budget able to provide to me, preferable good beats

is there a brand of headphone where there is a monkey logo around it? something like BAPE brand, it looks cool, i saw it somewhere else, can't remember where is it
i will consider headphones that above 250 but not when it exceeds 300

Check out the AKG K99, with its semi-open design, it will serves your needs well

Good SQ + Cheap headphones:
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-TAD300
[+] Sony MDR-MA100

Mic + Closed back + Circumaural + Budget RM250 headphones:
[+] Aerial7 Tank

I see, I shall heed to your suggestion.

Alternatively, I sourced for a good virtual audio wireless headphone and the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Omega Wireless headset caught my eyes.

Will it be a good choice?

I'm comparing this to the Turtle Beach PX5 and Logitech G930 so far, this Recon3D seems great =D

Otherwise, do you have recommendations for me?

sorry but i'm not familiar with all the gaming headsets nor those wireless/virtual surround headsets. can't help you there!

Budget- rm700 ish
Rig-ipad3
Using it for general since I do listen to music and watch shows on my iPad.

So far I'm thinking quite seriously about Triplefi10 or Klipsch x10. But I keep hearing a lot about fad's. Plus should I use that money to get a earphone only or an amp too?

Hey guys at what kind of minimum budget do I need to have headphone produce quality equal or better than Klipsch GMX 2.1 speaker.

- My Rig: PC = onboard Sound card = Realtek ALC888 codec = http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=3454#sp
- Type of usage: = Games 40% Movie 30% Music 30%

- Music genre: Any
- Budget: please give option for ~RM100, ~RM150, ~RM200. (do I need higher on this to equal my speaker quality?)
- Headphone/ earphone type: Open back headphone?
- Other requirements (if any): Can it produce sound quality = or better than Klipsch GMX 2.1 speaker. may be not air tight so my ear can "breath"?

I am not asking for upgrading my ear taste, but I am asking to minimum money spending while "retain" my ear taste. Hopefully u guys get what I mean.
