Try to avoid ath t series including t500 when it come to sound quality. Look into ad and a series instead. I've tested T500 and they sound terrible.

no doubt, agree

Price wise , spec wise . Maybe will get this . Can I know whats the difference between a rm 2 k headphone with a rm 100 headphone . Because for me it's about the same quality

bit add-on fact tongue.gif
in audiophile term, the first most important thing is not headphone/amp/dac/cable/ect;, its the EAR itself
human ear is unique, it can be trained to hear something small, thus making different
then it goes to recording quality/headphone/ect;

Realised I'm spamming gshoppe85's Audio Technica thread so decided to move my request here:

I'm currently looking for a pair of full-sized closed back headphones which works well delivering female vocals.(Brave Song by Tada Aoi should be a good example) I've read that Audio Technica phones tend to do well in this aspect. gshoppe85 has recommended the A900x, which is within my budget of 1k. I'm seriously considering them but they're out of stock, are there any models out there which can perform the same? (ie, forward mids, mid bass and a more "closed" feel)

wanna try have a look at ESW9? 2nd-hand one is not bad for that budget range

Woodies eh? Just checked out head.fi and they seem to fit the bill. Though I still prefer black&chrome to wood cups. tongue.gif

Hey Mav,

The guys at Jaben suggested the Beyer DT880 and the AD900 as well as the SRH1440. Is HiFiMan any good? Not very familiar with planar magnetic phones. I heard they need a really powerful amp to drive those.

not familiar with hifiman headphone, and yes, i heard they need amping to bring benefits. if me, i'm just an AD series fanboy tongue.gif

- My Rig: iPhone, sansa clip+, laptop, desktop (no amp)
- Type of usage: mainly music
- File format: FLAC, mp3
- Music genre: Japanese vocals(Kajiura Yuki), rock(death cab, muse), orchestra(anime/movie OSTs)
- Budget: <RM600
- Headphone/ earphone type: On-ear/Over-ear Headphones(high portability is appreciated but not essential)
- Other requirements (if any): I am hoping to find something with good mids, as I read vocals tend to be centered on the mids. Less analytic, more relaxing maybe? biggrin.gif

Thanks to anyone who replies~~~
