You could try out B&W P3 really comfortable pair of headphones and great sound

ATH-WS77 build for bass lover while maintaining the detail of sound meanwhile ATH-ES500 has balanced sound quality between its bass and clarity with stylish design (unique aluminum casing design)

ATH-ES500 was on-ear headphones while ATH-ES700 was over-ear headphones with better frequency response than ATH-ES500

ooo...well for the ES550??

There is no ATH-ES550...just ATH-ES55 which are old model + on-ear + balanced SQ.

ATH-ES series was emphasize on balanced SQ, simple and stylish design.

Hey guys!!anyways i've been asking around in the head-fi forum, and i've probably narrowed down my decision to
Sennheisers headphones .. as the m50 sound stage is terrible and the earcups are too small for me.. probably i would feel the earcups pressing my ears which i HATE it! i've actually also considered Beyerdynamics the 770 pros but i feel liek that it;s too heavy for me the looks and too big ( teh ear cups) so im now currently settling down with
Sennheiser 650HD
Sennheiser 600 HD
Sennheiser 558 HD
i usually listen to basically almost every music genre! a rough scale of what i listen to: Kpop( 20%), Country/Sentimental music john mayer and such( 35%), pop songs ( payphone, call me maybe or some pop songs, 30%), techno( 10%).. so yea..

- Your rig- Laptop
- What type of usage- music, gaming and a bit of movies
- File format used in your source- Flac, mp3,
- Genre of music you listen to-kpop, r&b, classical, basically everything.
- Headphone/ earphone type- headphone
- Budget restrain- rm300 ++.

From your first post dated 13 Nov till now, it is very obvious that you are totally lost in your research Your requirement stated previously contradicts with your current narrowed down choices At this rate, you are going no where, sorry

You may want to first redefine your needs Identify the type that suit your needs by research on the different types of headphones and their applications Make a list of the headphones that are available within the type you had identify previously Then filter it down based on your budget

hey, im very sorry for it! hmm i guess i will still need to do my research.... but from what i've found yesturday, that the senn 650/600HD WOULD not sound superb right out of the box, they sound even worse than those 30$headphones. but if you buy an amp, those 600/650HD would be SUPERBBB!! now im considering Byerdynamics 770/880/990 too! and also M50 Audio technica ( but i'll just do my research now and when i narrowed down to what i need i'll ask for help here, thank you for assisting me anyways)

Any opinions on the Denon AH-C400?

I tried it at a store but it won't work with my Blackberry (which is incidentally my main phone) Works well with Android though.

I like the flat EQ but it doesn't work with my main phone!
Anybody knows why?

sometimes some headphones dont work with bb devices

You might want to keep your eyes on the Sennheiser HD598. I've read that they are not very amp dependent but sounds quite nice as well. They are open cans however so sound will leak out and in as well. They are fun sounding headphones and a lot of people prefer them over the HD650 and HD600 because those are quite flat and analytical. Fun headphones are good for most music genres.

Lastly, try them out before buying, any headphone you want to buy you have to test them out.

- Your rig - walkman player in sony xperia
- What type of usage - 100% musics
- File format used in your source - max bitrate mp3, m4a
- Genre of music you listen to - Mainstream songs, Asian-pop, Anime OST and a little bit of everything
- Headphone/ earphone type - IEM
- Budget - around RM200+-
- Other requirements (if any) - Any good sony iem for me? otherwise other brand doesnt matter..

Im not an audiophile.. I enjoy rumbling basses but not a fan of techno/club music. Hope able to hear every details in track..but dont want the sound too flattened. is this is what people call the balanced EQ ?

beyerdynamic xp series...

hi guys thanks for the replies! but im not sure why, everytime when i do researches about other headphones (sennheires,eyerdynamics,akg) i would end up missing the M50 its like my heart is telling me to get those! when i see a thread/post about M50 i get really excited .

the 598 looks a little ugly ( no offence guys) but i would definitely pay those a visit. thanks;

Music + Detail + Budget RM2XX IEM:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CK313
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CKM300

AiAiAi Pipe without mic and control

Help me friend from taiwan for recommendation:

ATH WS77
ATH Pro500Mk2

Which one is better for a wide range of genre. Source is from computer. Price is the same.

Thanks!! =D

Then you probably should get the M50. It's quite a good starter headphone before venturing to test other headphones.

- My Rig: Desktop and handphone
- Type of usage: Music and gaming
- File format: mp3 and flac
- Music genre: r&b, pop, soul
- Budget: rm300
