- File format: MP3, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLAC (iTunes)

- Other requirements (if any): I'm not sure of this one since this is my first time getting a headphones and I've been using earphones all my life and thought on buying a Headphones for home use. I'm not much of a bass person (maybe only 50% interest in it.) as I am only listening to true sound that is like from a original music CD.

Is this headphones suitable for my taste?

Just as the above posts..

- Your rig : PC/MP3 player
- What type of usage : Gaming, movies and music.
- File format used in your source :Mp3 and FLAC
- Genre of music you listen to : J-pop, fantasy, dubstep.
- Headphone/ earphone type :Closed Type Headphone
- Other requirements (if any) : Comfort is highest priority, then quality. If can snatch both, it would be great! Budget is Around RM200, less is better i suppose..
- Currently in mind : I have no idea, dont wanna spend on something I dont have expertise in. Now i'm thinking PLANTRONIC Gamecom 377, Audio 370, Audio 500USB or Audio 650USB. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Thanks you very much for your help!  smile.gif

Hi mate!
I've tried J4 and I read several of -ve feedback bout J4...
Having 2nd thoughts... =/
Thanks for the reco mate! Audio Technica looks tempting. biggrin.gif

one thing i learn is never to full trust reviews, trust your ears, ur ears like it, all reviews can go to hell

Btw, I've browse through a HK Official Dealer for Jays and J4 is about RM200 incl posting.
Is it a good deal? smile.gif

akg is a bit more premium compared to superlux, imagine Seiko as superlux and Breitling as AKG
