Please understand that there are too many brands and models out there. Can't expect anyone to have experience with all of them

I understand. Sorry for pushing my requests out for everyone

- Your rig - Android phone, laptop
- What type of usage - Music and movie/video
- Budget - less than 100
- Headphone/ earphone type - IEM
- Other requirements (if any) - Clarity

I heard Philips SHE9700 is good but I think it has been discontinued. Any other good recommendation which is easy to buy?

My HD381F broke today.

Any recommendations for a <RM100 earphone?
Preferably not too much on bass.

I have been using the Philips HP890 for about 10 years now. In fact that was the first item I bought through lowyat forum at RM160. Then the arm broke between the silver ring and the body above. I tried superglue, and duck tape-did not work. Superglue does work at all while with duck tape does work, but the joints slowly loosen and now the right cup does not even cover my ears now. If someone knows how to fix this, I'd gladly try anything.

Can someone recommend me a similar headphones as the HP890? I like the velvet cushions used on this. I think the Audio-Technica ATH 700 comes to mind. I don't mind those faux leather material, but I don't like a sweaty headphone if I'm going to use it for 2-3 hours. The HP890 actually sound quite good. It may be slightly heavy but once you wear them, you forget they are on and immerse in the sound.

Can anyone recommend me a replacement for the HP890. I don't mind splashing up to $200 but the phones will be my only over ear phones. I already have a pair of Sony in-ears for travel. Usage is mainly for music and is mostly attached to the home desktop.

Thank you

Grado,well known for their thick sound and thick bass that excel in movie,also doing great with Rock(if not the best)

Hi,

$200 is in usd or rm?

If it is in rm,not much that can be recommended,but I will recommended you sennheiser HD202ii and some Superlux model,AKG has some entry model that should be doing great as well,particularly their k402,but if full size headphone is your top priority,considered superlux model

This is really hard,but the only one that I can recommend is koss ksc75

any idea when can i buy them around KL?

There is a guy who is selling it in lowyat.net,gshoppe85,the price is reasonable as well.

Besides,you can consider Shure SRH440 and SE215 as well...

my friend owned SRH440.. quite good according to him..
what do u think about beyerdynamic custom 1 pro??

USD. Maybe RM500?

It is actually a good headphone,and one of my audio buddy like custom one pro very much. For me the bass of it is punchy and big body but a bit loose,find some amp with bass boost function and you are good to go (For extreme bass).

What is the artist that you usually listening to?

-My rig : htc one x
-Type of usage :Music
-File format : mp3s
-Music genre : alternative,rock,gospel
-Budget : rm 200 - rm 300
- Headphone/ earphone type : earphone
- Other requirements : good isolation

Heard about the beyer xp 3 and adagio II. Any thoughts on that? Open to other suggestions. Thanks
