Hello, looking to get new headphone smile.gif

- Your rig - Computer and maybe sometimes mp3 player)
- What type of usage (Mostly music and gaming. Ocacasionally I watch Movies)
- File format used in your source (MP3 and youtube tongue.gif)
- Genre of music you listen to (Pop, Dubstep, EDM, Alternative rock [LINKIN PARK!])
- Headphone/ earphone type (I wear glasses and the sides are a bit thick, Any should do as long as it's comfortable with glasses)
- Other requirements (if any) (Mic[Optional],)
-Budget - RM400 or less

Pop and Dubstep? Definitely the JVC HA-S500. RM260 incl. postage. You will never regret the bass extension this baby has.
But they're supraaurals so they rest on your ears, might be a little uncomfortable when you're wearing glasses. The reactions are mixed, but for me personally the pads are soft enough to rest comfortably on my head.
They aren't very amp dependent so you can drive them from virtually any music source (phone, computer, mp3 player) and don't need to worry they don't get enough juice to drive.
Hands down the most affordable good dynamic headphones I have ever tested.

Fa006 suits the requirement that you stated above.....until now because the headphone still under burn in period....the fa006 is a very detail headphone ...you can even hear the gulp and gasp of the singer...sometimes....and the headphone is slightly brighter....but I usually pair with martini + so that the sound will be slightly warmer....sparkling mids is the best word that I can describe...as for bass...its just ample instead of overwheming and tight!! the bass are accurate and you can sometimes able to guess how many instruments are there in a song.....hope that my little review over here could help you...

The normal price is about rm 650...but you can get discount from jaben...don't worry.....
Superlux is a studio.monitor headphone....so the isolation is slightly better than fa006...the soundstage of the superlux is like the last row of a concert where you can hardly focus on the singer's lyric....and there are slight echoes going on in the headphone.....the bass is quite deep and detail...but not as detail as the fa006...

My UE TF10pro finally spoilt after 3 years plus of service. Any recommendation of other earphone with similar sound signature?
