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[B]Around RM200, less is better i suppose..
- [b]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

Heya guys, now deciding between Superlux 661 or Plantronics Gamecom 777.
Which would be better for gaming/music/movie purposes? And which would be more comfortable for long hours?

I can only think of Shure SRH240/440 at the moment.

The 440 gets terrible comments on comfort...lol unsure.gif

And back on open backed cans. Other than ATH-AD300, any other at this RM300 price range?

I hear open backed cans have better sound quality compared to closed, but still considering whether to get open or closed cans. I dont mind a lil' leak but hopefully if its open, the leak is not that much..

Thanks in advance!! cool.gif

Multipurpose + Closed-back + Full size + Budget RM 350 headphones:

[+] Aerial7 Tank (Funky design + Superb bass + 2 Detachable cord + 1 Coiled cord + 1 Straight cord with mic for phone/skype)
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-T500 (Dynamic driver + Balance + Superb comfort)
Multipurpose + Mic (for games / skype) + Budget RM1000 headphones:

Okay, thanks for all the feedback sifu! Now i'm thinking between ATH-AD300, ATH-T500 and AKG-K99. The others ruled out due to comfort factor and performance. So in a pick 1 situation, which would you guys pick? And btw, i read somewhere that the ATH-T500 is not that comfortable?? Thanks in advance cool.gif

AD300, no doubt for me, or at least for my poor ear

Okay, will survey prices for AD 300 and i'll keep T500 in mind. I somehow dont think using semi open cans might work well in library or classrooms. whistling.gif cool.gif So i'll rule out the AKG-K99?

Shure SRH440 is not too tight? Reviews say its kinda tight AFAIK. Seinnheiser HD 202-2 is better IMO. But juz my humble opinion. =)
