didnt reserved 1-2 more posts in case you need for extra info?

anyways reported so mod may pin it (and remove old thread)

could give audio technica's AD300/AD500 a try (ad are open cans, if you prefer closed cans, go for the A series such as A500 or even M [monitoring] series such as M30 or M50)

you could use the sticky thread here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2125556

also, singapore jaben and malaysia jaben pricing wouldn't be too much difference, and that's assuming you won't have issues with customs tax.

my personal recommendation is the AT AD900

in general, yes.

between the 2, definitely AD700

however if you want bass, AD700 wont be much. either a closed back A700 that hongrui suggested (i cannot into closed back though), or get a AD900 (which is around RM1k)

- closed can are not my thing
- m50 is a monitoriing headphone, monitoring headphones are typically "not musical"

for better understanding, i would suggest to audit both the M50 and A700, or even the AD700 or some poison, AD900

ohai lol. surprised seeing you here.

not very sure on recommendations for on ear's, since i straight went up to full sized cans (and you really have to try those mid range ones, they are really comfy, and yes i sweat a ton/ears get hot easily too) however if you're following strictly on your budget and not willing to compromise-

my recommendation would be the legendary Koss KSC75, or even the porta pro (7x-8x and 15x-16x respectively), and the remainder budget you could opt for a budget/entry level amp or even re-cabling/modding the KSC75.

you could probably check out the sennheiser hd 202 too (around rm130-150, saw a used set for rm100)
can consider looking higher on the hd2xx series, or even the PX2xx series too.

if you can stretch up more, say maybe rm500? other personal recommendation would be:

audio technica WS55, or the beyerdynamic DT231 (i just happen to find a used one on sale in garage sales for rm150 while updating the current market prices for the recommended items http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2324662 )

if you're willing to take the plunge of poison for full sized cans (highly recommended if you're not planning to go mobile with these, which i have assumed from your pc rig setup) consider:

entry levels
- audio technica AD300/500
- audio technica A500x

most, if not all of the above should be available at jaben (ss15 subang) for auditions. best if you can go there and audit most of the recommended models (or even have jaben staff recommendations!) to find out what suits you best

aside from the full sized cans recommendations, they rest are all clip ons/on ears as per your requirement.

honestly though, mid range/higher level headphones are a lot more comfortable than you think. i have listened on my headphone for over a period of 8-10 hours+ (sometimes even falling asleep with them, they are just THAT comfortable ) with the occasion "opening up" and wiping off excess sweat as i did mentioned that i sweat a LOT even under air cond room which yea, can cause irritation/hot etc

but that goes to say how comfortable better level headphones can be

for cable length, if you're getting full sized cans especially the mid range and above, they typically come in 2-3 meters or more cable length which imho, should be more than enough for average users LOL!

for the dt231, PERSONALLY i find the clamping a little bit tight and i personally am not fond on on ears/clip ons (basically your requirement). as they either press the back of my ear too much, or against my ear. id rather have a good circumaural (full sized cans that fully cover your head or practically half your face) that are comfortable which wouldnt cause the so called heat issues as you mentioned. believe me, i am as skeptical as you are back then

but of course, i wont know how much of your heat issue is as i do not own your ear, so hopefully you dont take my words against me

the best advise i can give is that you go audition them first (can also get a feel of the headphone )

between dt231 and hd202, i would recommend the dt231 more. however as i mentioned, i didnt like the clamping/on ear

i see you've finally taken the poison on full sized cans, care to try some audio technica's? AD900 paired with a govibe peak is really highly recommended

or you already bought the grado sr60?

as for run in/burn in, i personally am not a believer of such things, just by simply listening/enjoying your headphone will do. technically anyways that is also running/burning in your headphones, why not enjoying them in the process

glad you enjoy your purchase and good to see you going for a full sized instead of a clip on for home desktop rig
