Hi, does anyone have a beats Mixr? Heard thats its the only headphone which is superb and good in the Beats line lol. Thinking of getting one as it has the controltalk and its super portable and lightweight and very good looking. I can get one used for rm300 so im kinda interested. But i heard its very uncomfortable. Do anybody feel in the same way too? thanks ya

Hi. I'm looking for a headphone/ear-plugs but i don't know which to buy. Read loads of reviews about beats and skullcandy and many said they are overpriced and i could get something similar to their quality with a lower price. I'm a simply guy and i don't do any DJ stuff or whatever. Just chilling out and listening to music is what my headphone/ear-plugs are for. I like strong base but not too strong till it covers everything and of course super good sound quality. My budget is around RM500. Oh and I'm using Ipod touch(don't know whether this is relevant or not).
Thank you in advance.

Just bought the FAD Adagio III but right now I feel like the bass is really overwhelming and will give it a month to see if it gets better, but if in the case it doesnt get better anyone know an IEM around RM400-500 that has great mids and tight punchy bass, and clear highs?

Source: Galaxy s3

Genre: All

Budget: 400-500
*
actually it might be teh amp on the S3 at fault, it has quite a heavy bass amp, try using on another device, it will sound different

QUOTE(RagnarokVampire @ Apr 18 2013, 10:59 AM)
Oh cool! This is still running!

Your rig: Samsung Galaxy Note II / PC
What type of usage:  Music and Podcasts (typical uni student)
File format used in your source: MP3
Genre : Any
Headphone/ earphone type: IEM
Other requirements (if any): None
Budget: Maximum RM500, but of course, cheaper the better lah =(


Currently looking at Final Audio Design Agadio 3. Whatcha think?
Side note, is it recommended to use android DAC (if any)?
*
1. try the Beyerdynamic XP2 or XP3, FA Adagio 3 is also a good choice
2. Note 2 DAC isn't that great, and also on PC motherboard sound output, suggest you get an external DAC and also another amp, then you will get on level with the SQ

perhaps the DT231 from beyerdynamic, most Astro radio stations like hitz.fm use them, and you know they use headphones for their entire sessions, so yeah, comfort and light, sounds awesome too

Thanks for the tip. Shall go and test it out first before attempting to buy.
Besides AT since it's not so much of a bass type.
Which of the Sennheiser would you recommend?
*

Hi, thanks for the input. Other that this, is there any good recommendation? I am planning to pick wireless headphone is due to mobility. Since sennheiser wireless RS-180 is come with transmitter, so i might have some trouble to carry it. 

Is there any reason why Beats by Dr Dre is not so recommended here?

Thanks.

wireless without external transmitter is somewhat limited options, next i can think of with smaller transmitter is TDK WR700

browse around couple audio threads and u realize a whole lot of bash on the quality + sound of beats

hi, based on my budget of around RM 200 for a new pair of IEM, i had drilled down to the following:

- Beverdynamics SP3
- Sony EX310SL
- Denon C260

Can you guys advice me which to choose from?

details:
My Rig: Note 2
Type of usage: Music
File format: mp3 320kpbs
Music genre: solely rock and metal (thrash, death, melo death, classic rock, alternative)
Budget: RM 200
Headphone/ earphone type: earphones
Other requirements (if any): i am not sure if any of the 3 is more suitable for my kind of music. Preferred that the earphones should be able to purchase locally as well (checked that all above are available via Jaben / Sony. so should be ok)

Cheers

i call for XP3
