Hmm need some recommendation for in-ear, i want to explore the beauty of music.

Read some review about Hippo Boom, sounds good?
- Your rig - PC with 5.1 Soundblaster VX sound card. HTC Hero
- What type of usage - This in-ear would be for music and movie only i guess
- File format used in your source - mp3 mainly
- Genre of music you listen to - normally alternative ... but i want to explore more
- Headphone/ earphone type-  no idea, which 1 is good? i want to listen while laying on bed lol
- Other requirements (if any) - budget 150-200 including Fiio E3 Amp
thx!!

Hippo Shroom EB, Soundmagic PL50, Brainwavz M2. U can skip the E3, as it actually doesn't improve anything at all. U can use almost all of the IEMs in the market without any amp and they will sound good enough.

Nice but isn't it a bit heavy on the bass like the rest of Brainwavz budget line (the same applies to Meelectronics)? Can't stomach headache inducing bass these days... sweat.gif
Not all all, they are fairly balanced IEMs, while M2's are heavier in bass compared to its younger sibling.

Hello, i'm new here .. may I know is there any way from getting our ears heaty when we are wearing the headphones ? It tends to be disturbing .. sad.gif

Change to velour pads if u can find any that fits ur headphones, otherwise, can't help that. That is the most common downside of circumaural headphones, or u can
try supra-aural headphones, sure they won't get as hot as circumaural headphones.

Hello friends,
I'd like to equip myself with a new pair of headphones. In the past i had ש Sennheiser CX model and the AKG Q350 model (Quincy Jones), which both were nice but hadn't knocked me off my feet. This time I'd like to have your advice prior to the purchase in order to be right on the spot. I really want headphone with clear sound, high sound separation and quality.

- My Rig:  Cowon iaudion J3
- Type of usage:  Music
- File format: Flac
- Music genre: Jazz, classical, rock, grunge and alternative
- Budget: Not more than 200$ and less will be welcomed
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM or ear buds
- Other requirements (if any): I'd like to use the headphones while doing sports, such as running, bicycling and running. I don't know if its a consideration but I'm mentioning it in case it is...

Thanks a lot!

Currently looking at re0, s4 or feels pro900. What dyu guys think?

S4 is very different with the other two, S4 is more suitable for pop songs, while the other two is more suitable for vocal presentation. It depends on ur own preference.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a pair of IEMs, and I'm wondering if there's any IEM that sounds similar to the Shure SRH440 + Fiio E11 set to bass boost +1.

I know it's really specific but that's my default setting to when i listen to music but it's not very portable.. Basically i want an IEM that can sound like that just by plugging it straight to my iPod unamped.

- My Rig: iPod Nano 4th Gen + FiiO E11/Laptop + DAC + FiiO E11
- Type of usage: Music listening only
- File format: mp3 cbr/vbr, FLAC.
- Music genre: Rock, acoustic, electro, dubstep, yeah..
- Budget: below RM300?
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements (if any): Generally i want it to sound as accurate/clear like the SRH440 but with a punchier, deeper bass. I would also prefer if it has remote and mic for iPod. But that's not very important.

Try Brainwavz M4.
