- What type of usage- all
- File format used in your source-mp3
- Genre of music you listen to -----
- Headphone/ earphone type -----
-budget- rm150
- Other requirements - mic/voice control (wireless if gt)

If with mic usually the headphone sound quality is crap. Buy separate. At that budget I recommend Superlux HD661 or HD660.

- My Rig: Samsung S3 / Laptop
- Type of usage: Music/gaming/web conference once a while
- File format: MP3
- Music genre: Rock/metal/pop
- Budget: RM200
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements (if any):

My Rig: laptop/ ipod / phone (Blackberry, Android)
- Type of usage: music, occasionally movies
- File format: mp3, wav mostly...MKV and AVI for movies
- Music genre: general music. not too much bass, prefer clarity.
- Budget: <200
- Headphone/ earphone type: closed-back headphones

I'm thinking Superlux 661D or the AKG K402 but I'm worried about the durability of the superlux and also the mobility of the AKG because it wouldn't fully cover my ears.

Check this out, for those looking for Earphones. Maybe this will help

If rock/metal BA would be a better choice compared to the common dynamic driver IEMs because of the speed BA drivers possesses. Downside of BA is lacking bass for pop but in exchange vocals and details are superb.

Recommended BA IEM below RM 200.

Feels Pro 900 - RM 170 (lack of bass compensated with the warm signature) or cheaper if used. I just used mine for only a week with my third party tips. It has similar sound signature to the more expensive Meelec's A151.

Sony XBA-1 - RM 199 (severely lacks bass) but better go hear yourself coz many sony shops lets you auditioned it.

SoundMAGIC PL50 ~ RM 200 cheapest or maybe cheaper but haven't seen one yet. One of the older BA type of driver therefore the sound quality is years behind compared to the latest type of BA driver. I'm no expert but something about Siren vs Knowles type of driver. Can google it.

Dear All,

Would like a recomendation for headphone with strong in vocal.

The reason, currently using creative t3, good bass, sweet sound but always feel lacking in vocal part of the song.
