Thanks for the info!
Cause I'm considering to buy the Steelseries Siberia V2 USB because all the reviews said that it is very comfortable compared to other headsets..

Hi there pros. What do you look into when looking for a good headphone?

any of u knows where to get blox m2c?

If it was up to me, I'd look at the sound I like to find first. For example, do I like bass, or do I like more clarity and airiness and treble than my current setup. Next, look at your source and what can it do, what sound does it offer? Then I start looking at price, and to what extent am I willing to spend my money on. Then, I narrow down my selection within that price range.

For the headphone selection part, I ask myself a few questions. What does it have that I like/does it fit my criteria? Are there anything similar to this? Can I stretch my budget just a little bit more or are there cheaper options just as good as this? What do reputable reviewers say about them? Can I audition them (I rarely have this chance)? And the last but most important question, what can possibly go wrong if I choose this (don't like the sound, breaks within a few weeks, not good with source, doesn't sound good with favourite genre of music)?

All those makes me one very confused and undecided audiophile.

- My Rig: Walkman phone/ PC
- Type of usage: Music
- File format: MP3~WAV
- Music genre: Full range (Metal~ K/J-Pop~ Classical)
- Budget: 200+-
- Headphone/ earphone type: Anything except earbuds
- Other requirements (if any): *Clear *Comfortable *Portable with decent isolation and good bang for buck. Stylish if possible.

Thanks in advance

Brainwavz M1. I had it a while ago. Detailed and very spacious (good for classical) sounding with decent bass (good for pop), for the price. Doesn't have quite the bite for amped guitars as say the Grado SR60i but pretty decent, and on the plus side that sound won't get you fatigued early. Needs music at low volume to give full isolation. Or you can stretch a bit and get the M2, which is said to have more bass.

I also recommend the Sony MDR EX310-SL. I tried it for a very brief moment. Slightly better isolation than its predecessor the EX300 (which I had a while ago) and slightly more refined sound overall (I feel less piercing treble). Or, the balanced armature IEM from Sony, the XBA-1. Honestly, these two offerings have the looks.

Other recommendation I have, the Feels Pro 900, which if the reviews are right, should sound similar to my other (but not related) IEM, the SoundMagic PL50, which I liked very very much.

Hippo Shroom-EB, almost forgot. Very good detail for its price. Only have a bit of bass but good in quality. Not as good (well, not as satisfying is more correct) with hard rock music, and some metal like my other IEMs though. Still for slow classical and other mainstream genres they're great.

At least this helps! Haha! Thanks so much, tunertoobe!

Hello,

I am looking for a good pair of earphones that is not too pricy but has good sound quality and comfort...
Am thinking between Klipsch or Monster or Shure...

Hi Sean,

What i can suggest to you is Klipsch S4i. The sound quailty is great and the bass is clear. It does have Volume control and most importantly, is comfortable!



Here is the link to the Cnet review on the klipsch: http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/klipsch-i...7-33801629.html

But now im using Westone 4, but i guess it over your budget

Less than 500RM?

S4, is more for your normal mp3 player etc.
S4i is for Iphone user, as there is mic, vol control etc. Made for iphone
S4A is for all the Android user like: HTC, Samsung etc. (You can custommize you own button)

All 3 have the same sound quality, only diff is the control is for differenct handphone software.

E1 - AKG: any input from you or other recommandation?

AiAiAi Swirl with inline mic and control





AiAiAi Pipe with inline mic and control





AKG K328 with inline mic and control

How much is it selling? Where can i get?
Is it available in Epicentre, Machines.. All those apple stores? or they got their own shop one?

Hey Alvin!

Recently i saw these few store in KL have demo set for Klipsch eaphones / headphone. you can check it out:

Machine / Mac studio / Epi Centre

Price range about: 323-423

If stylish do check out check out Feels Pro 900 IEM with rotating nozzles to give further comfort.



Its a BA driver so fast and good for metal and vocals due to the warmish tone.

Bang for buck? well checkout what Head-fiers says about em
