Any thoughts where I might get it?

Your wish list ath-m50, rite? Why not get that one. Else, fa-003 oso should be fine smile.gif

Yeah it's in my wishlist, but there's just nowhere I can get it. Or test it. I tried asking around in Garage Sales, nobody's carrying it.

Did u try jaben audio malaysia? They have all the headphones u need

The one in Subang Jaya right? No, not yet, since it's a bit too far. But I'll try calling them up and ask.
But then, which is better? The M50 or the TMA-1?

Really? For rock, alternative and metal the tma-1 is better? How so? I thought m50 sounds clearer? Meh I'll try them both to decide. What about some old songs? Like 80s songs such as one night in bangkok, take on me, and new songs like paradise by coldplay? I've been listening to a few headphones with paradise. Not all of them deliver the perfect sound balance for the song.

The TMA-1 does have an aggressive sound signature great for genres you had mentioned.  If a more balanced sound is preferred, do check out the AKG Q460s.

Besides Jaben, you can try out both the M50 and the TMA-1 at Tong Lee Co. as well, ground floor of Low Yat Plaza.  nod.gif

lol. you have a nice selection of headphones there. your personal listening preference? you like bass? alot of bass? what about mids / treble?

Personally, I'd say
1. DT770 /250
2. M50
3. HD598

TMA and Pro700 i've not heard them.
*
I like bass, but too much is just unbearable like them Beats, sometimes their bass is just overwhelming.
I'd prefer a tighter and faster bass.

QUOTE(windboy @ Jan 19 2012, 12:11 PM)
for me i will prefer DT770pro, superb accuracy on every frequency, nice deep thumping bass without any overflow, great open spacious head imaging and comfortable for long hour listening.

however you can consider Alessandro MS2i headphone, it is magnificent for Rock, alternative due to the classic grado signature.

currently jaben has promotion for that http://jaben.com.my/shopping2/home.php?cat=372

for me i will consider as it is a crazy deal!!
*
MS2i is priced at what? 1.2k?
It just seems OP in my current budget, but I'd probably need to upgrade one way or another anyways.

u forgot grado in ur list lol....
try grado range 1st. if u want a bit bass then can go for grado sr80i....
*
Grados are open cans arent they? Or somebody correct me.
I kind of like the SR225i
Maybe I should try the Grado lineups since they have a somewhat distinctive signature to them.

yea, retail of MS2i is 1.2k, i believe it is more expensive then your initial budget, but i urge you should have a try on MS2i + the martini+ amplifier, i bet they both can be a great match up and provide superbly in sounding
*
Definitely need to go to Jaben and try them on as soon as possible.
But then I'd definitely need to wait a tad longer to get them x_x

To be honest, no Audiophile likes Beats.
Me for example, I just like the Pro.
The rest aren't worth it.
You can get better headphones with the prices of Beats.
I'd say you should take the SRH440.
