Advice needed , thanks.

-My Rig: Gaming desktop , laptop and budget smartphone
- Type of usage: Music , gaming and videos
- File format: mp3 , mp4 and so on
- Music genre: Anything that sounds nice , I'm not picky
- Budget: RM 300 - RM 400 ( But prefer not to go 400 unless it's a big leap forward )
- Headphone/ earphone type: Preferred closed , monitor perhaps ?
- Other requirements (if any): Won't need amplifiers for most applications , would like natural sound with clarity . Don't need a mic .

Went to a shop that provides my college sound equipment , their advice is to get the Audio Technica ATH-PRO5MK2 for RM 269 . Is it good? Or are there better? Thanks ! biggrin.gif

For your requirement, should consider the AKG K99 instead nod.gif

Your rig (mp3 players, amps, sound card etc) Laptop
What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc) Music listening only
File format used in your source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc) MP3
Genre of music you listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc) Primary Rock and Chillout music. I don't care for Rap/RnB/Indie crap.
Headphone/ earphone type (closed, open, circumaural, IEM etc) Headphone. Preferably full-sized.
Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc) I like clean clear sounds. Some bass should be present, though more is always better. If it is of any help, I do like DT770Pro.

I have a total budget of RM500. That includes an amp or DAC+amp combo if it calls for it. If I can find a headphone that works well unamped through a laptop, it'll get the full dough.

Currently looking at Superlux HD688B/HDHD681 and Fiio E10.

If you can stretch your budget a little more, go for the FiiO E10 and AKG K99 nod.gif

- File format used in your source- mp3
- Genre of music you listen to - basically almost everything! i would like a headphone that has a balanced of Bass and also Clarity. not like those beats that i have, overpowered BASS, and i do not want something like the ad700, no bass but clarity. so yea.
- Headphone/ earphone type - to be honest, im not sure how to describe it, i do not want a headphone cup that is constantly On my ear, i would want something like the QC15/ logitech g35, the cups dont touch my ear.. im not sure how to describr it sorry
- Other requirements (if any)- nothing.
Anyways i've did alot of research, i found the AT- m50. but im afraid of the hedphone type.. will it suit me?
Oh yea and i do not want a headphone that requires an amp to perform well like the sennheiser hd 5xx series.. so yea. i want a headphone that can perform well w/o amp, i use it at home mostly btw. i have about Rm500 budget. if its worth the extra i might increase. NOT more than 1k.

Normally I will use it on LRT with my phone, best if it's comes with speaker/mic where I can just talk into it without taking it off my phone to talk.
But I wouldn't want to spend too much on this, so please suggest?

how about these brands:- Beats, A-Jay or Skull Candy? other good brand at this price range?

Thanks.

Firstly, really think you meant noise isolation instead of cancellation. Secondly, really don't think you can get original Beats, A-Jays or Skull Candy at RM150+/-.

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..

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

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

Hi all, need some advice on the above topic... I'm looking for a light pair of supra aural headphones and I have boiled down my decision to these two (circa RM200)

I have a-jays one IEM and I absolutely love them and have tried the V-jays before and also find them to be excellent...
On the other hand, I have read countless reviews of the classic PortaPro but have never sampled them...

So which do u think is better, I mainly use them around the house or sometimes when I'm out... I listen to mostly rock, dance and ambient music...
