This thread serves as a Q&A section for all new/existing audiophiles seeking advice on their next headphone purchase!

The rules are simple, no flaming/bashing and try not to spam (posting irrelevant post).
You may ask us any headphone/earphone related question, and we will gladly assist you. Don't be shy!

When asking, please remember to STATE YOUR BUDGET. Better if you give exact numbers... "not so expensive la" is not considered a budget

Other info such as the following will also be helpful to get faster and more accurate responses:
- Your rig (mp3 players, amps, sound card etc)
- What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
- File format used in your source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc)
- Genre of music you listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
- Headphone/ earphone type (closed, open, circumaural, IEM etc)
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc)

Some audio terms used in this thread and their meaning:

Circumaural headphones:
Sometimes called full size headphones, these are made in a circular fashion that surround the ear completely.

Closed back:
Closed back (or sealed) headphones are designed to reduce the effect of external noise on your listening and also to keep the noise made by the headphone drivers from leaking out and disturbing people around you.

Ear Bud:
Ear bud headphones are small in size and are placed directly outside the ear canal.

In Ear Monitors (IEM):
In Ear Monitors (IEM) also known as Ear Canal Headphones (ECH's). These earphones are placed into the ear canal and effectively seal your ear with their small rubberised ear-tip sleeve (can also come with various tips). They are small, lightweight and very portable.

Noise cancelling headphones:
Noise cancelling headphones reduce the perceived noise from outside with the clever use of small microphones located inside the earpiece and active electronics within the headset. The basic principle is that the noise signal for the outside world is inverted and then summed with the signal from the audio source. The result is that the ambient noise from outside is effectively cancelled out, which lets you enjoy your music.

Open back headphones:
Open back headphones (sometimes referred to as vented) are designed to allow sound out through the back of the earcup. This design gives a character to the sound that is often described as having an open soundstage, or natural. One reason for this is that there are less reflections than a closed back (or sealed) design.

Supra aural:
Supra aural headphones have pads that sit on top of the ears, rather than around them.

NOISE CANCELLATION DOES NOT EQUAL TO NOISE ISOLATION, get the facts straight:
Noise cancellation works by cancelling out constant noise from outside surroundings, like machine sound or motor sound, or jet plane turbine sound, you will still hear people talking, baby crying, car passing by, people beside you blasting music while break dancing, a couple quarreling etc. Noise isolation is for silence from surrounding sound regardless what it is.

Noise cancellation is a premium priced technology, and the reason behind it is it uses to external mic for left and right to obtain the constant noise, and the headphone produces a counter noise wave to cancel out the noise, so you don't hear machine sounds. BOSE claimed to be the first to create NC headphones, so they might get patent fee from it, who knows.. Expect something around RM1k for a NC headphone

Hello! i currently have a feels pro900, ad300 and a govibe DAC that came with the feels. im thinking of exploring further but im not sure of where to start. Thought of getting a AD700 but would there be a stark difference in listening experience compared to the AD300?

I usually listen to orchestral music and jazz and my budget is only around 500 XD.

My Rig: BlackBerry Torch Smartphone
- Type of usage: Music during sports activities (mainly weightlifting at the gym)
- File format: mp3
- Music genre: all, but mostly heavy metal
- Budget: Less than RM500
- Headphone/ earphone type: earphone, prefer in ear
- Other requirements (if any): prefer to have something with extra bass kick. Preferably also to have mic to answer calls.

I have had a few but all died on me after few weeks/months mainly due to the sweat. So I want something sweat-proof or specifically designed for sports.

Besides wired earphones, I also looked at various Bluetooth stereo headsets namely the Jaybird Freedom, but the price and lack of local distributor put me off.
So preferably something that I can buy locally or here in LYN trade zone.

Suggestions are highly appreciated.

- Budget: Less than RM500
- Headphone/ earphone type: earphone, prefer in ear
- Other requirements (if any): prefer to have something with extra bass kick. Preferably also to have mic to answer calls.

I have had a few but all died on me after few weeks/months mainly due to the sweat. So I want something sweat-proof or specifically designed for sports.

Besides wired earphones, I also looked at various Bluetooth stereo headsets namely the Jaybird Freedom, but the price and lack of local distributor put me off.
So preferably something that I can buy locally or here in LYN trade zone.

Suggestions are highly appreciated.

If extra bass and need mic better go with Beats

- Budget: RM 400. The cheaper the better.
- Rig: PC. Mobo is Asus P8Z77-V Pro. With DTS thingy but the onboard equalizer for gaming, movie and music are sucks. Speaker is Corsair SP 2500 with headphone jack.
- Gaming>Music>Movie.
- MP3, M4A, AVI, MKV, RMVB.
- Universal listener. Thus I need balance between clarity, and tight bass instead of loud and dull bass.
- Headphone.
- Other requirements:
> 5.1 or 7.1. More to action with shooting gaming. I think Sniper Elite V2 need an accurate sound position because very hard to spot the enemy.
> Comfy. My current cheapo headphone really hurt my ear after 30 minutes.
> Can get a decent wireless headphone?
> Ear cushion are changeable.

BTW, I need comment regarding real 5.1/ 7.1 or virtual 5.1/ 7.1. I want to know which sound better and other necessary thing I should know. All I know is "real" using all the jack while "virtual" using the green jack and virtually surround. I don't mind wired or wireless, virtual or real surround as long it's a decent headphone with a nice price. Thanks all...

The best value, but not the best sounding to me.
I only tried up to XBA-3, and the XBA-3 is actually very good sounding. Doesn't quite have that "WOW" thing going for it, but doesn't do anything wrong. I especially like the bass. It's not entirely as good as what I get from the Atrio (it is PUNY compared to it, and misses a bit on the details), but it has more bass than I would expect from a BA but not being dark sounding too. Very balanced I would say. Since I'm used to the Atrio's slower bass, the speed of the bass of the XBA-3 really came to me as a bit of a surprise.

BTW, care to explain more about the sampled? SQ is for what man? So, are you saying audiophile headphone is perform better than gaming headphone in gaming too? Because my main intention to buy headphone is for enhance my gaming experience.

My current speaker already have surround sound though it's 2.1 speaker but I think it's not enough. It's a waste to buy another surround speaker because my current speaker is really balanced between gaming, music and movie.

Honestly, those famous brand are on the first hatelist because they tend to have a fake one. For Beats, there's a lot of fake and even if you use ori Beats, still people will say it's a fake unless the headphone is inspect carefully.

May I know why? As for me, Beats price are overprice for the design and external quality. Never tried, never use, not an audiophile so I don't dare to say a lot. But IMO, it's a waste to buy Beats while there's a lot of better headphone outhere with similar or maybe lower price?.

Less gimmick but same performance? (I mean sound quality and surround) Or less gimmick and the sound positioning is less? Or less gimmick but better performance?

if want game and music together usage, might can consider grado, sennheiser or beyerdynamic

Okay, will look after this. Is there any suggestion within RM 400? Honestly, I'm not into CM Storm, Razer etc. I hate Razer as much you hate Beats. Haha...

Bright means high treble and bass not to boomy?
Warm mid means treble are not too loud and balance with bass?

HI guys, just wanted to get into a nice set of cans. Currently looking at the beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250ohm, because of the nice bass and clear sound. My budget is about that 700-800 and the DT770 is too pricey for me...RM950 from Jaben.

Any recommendations?

I try not to have leather or pleather cushions because I'm wearing glasses, so I go for velvet pads like the DT770 or the Pioneer SEM390....

Also looking for nice thumping bass and closed headphones.

Thanks.

Hi guys, i am beginner in audiophile. icon_rolleyes.gif
Here are my requirements, please recommend headphone, not earphone. (Those cover ear one, not inside ear)

Requirements:
-Using for gaming + music
-Budget below RM200
-Sometime plug into computer, ipod, handphone

Please tell me what other specification i can find in headphone, since still new in audiophile wink.gif

Edit: Previously got terrible experience with my headphone/earphone because they snap easily and mute one side. Please recommend one that is good quality wont rosak so easily, if rosak can repair?

Used at office 1. Long hours.

Add Question: In Ear is more comfortable than earbud ?

That depends on your ears. Generally though, earbuds are more comfortable since they only sit inside your ear concha. However some people (like me) prefer IEM because earbuds simply would not sit on the ear, they'll keep falling off.

IEM's design dictates their comfort. The smaller usually means better comfort. Deep insertion can be irritating for the first few times but you'll get used to it. I think the best shape would be a cross between an earbud shape with an IEM fit. Something that looks like a Cube F1 Pro, or Hippo Ten, or Superlux HD381 series. Sometimes they can't fit in deep enough, but if an earbud works for you then surely those IEMs will.

Viewing old thread and saw your reply. Seriously, LiveSound isn't good for me, the sound is bad for that price. Mid and high is ok, but the bass is very very weak and the only selling point for that iem for me is the volume control. Go get other IEM lah bro~ rclxms.gif

I think Sennheiser HD 202 or Beyerdynamic DT 231 will sound better than the above, you can take a lot at it.

If you can add some budget, get Sennheiser CX 200 or CX 270, these will have better sound than Sony or Philips entry iem.

You can check at garage sales for new set and 2nd hand set if you don't mind. smile.gif

I never had a headphone before, currently using Hippo Shroom EB, but looking for something with just a bit more bass for pop songs.

I'm not so sure about open/closed headphones. But I'd prefer to have music not leak out.

Currently looking at Shure SH440. Good choice?

Not quite familiar with headphones but for your budget ... I think dr 150 from goldring will do the trick...for.better improvement...change the cable to vero cable which will give you a great difference in your music experience...

Hi guys! Facing a dilemma now. I using a pair of Hippo White right now and damn satisfied with the SQ[with that price], but i'm thinking to buy a headphone too.

Due to some limitation on my budget, shall i keep my Hippo white and get an entry level can? [i'm aiming something cheap like ATH SJ33] or sell my White and get something better, such as the SJ55 or JVC S400 or even the ATH WS55?

I prefer balanced sounding though.

You are obviously not into dubsteps, that was dubsteps' grand master DJ Borgore ... anyway, just trying to prove that wearing headphones out and about can be real chic nod.gif

Even former MU Korean mid-fielder, Park JiSung goes around with a pair of AiAiAi TMA-1.

Hehe, I am a fan of basketball and LeBron/Kobe and i think most of the USA team uses Monster Beats.
Only the youngsters like Kevin Durant, James Harden use Skullcandy.

Hey guy,
I wanna ask something.
Is it worth for me to change from Final Audio Adagio III to UE600?
I like my current Adagio III but I miss UE sound (my prev is UE350)... I dunno how to say it but is it worth?
If we compare the price, Adagio III is RM395 at Jaben while UE600 is around RM300. What about UE build quality? Cuz my previous UE broke within a month.

I have UE 600, and I doubt it will have same sound sig with UE 350 cause 1 is BA 1 is dynamic.

I heard about built quality issue of UE 600 but I 'd no problem with it.

Not heard the Adagio III before so cannot comment, but if you like balanced sound sig and detail on music, UE 600 is not bad.

Hi folks,

I'm planning to get a pair of earphones cz my Sony ones lost sound on one of the ears. The earphones has to have a mic+track control functions so I don't need to remove my phone/music player from my pocket to switch tracks or change the volume.

I'm thinking of Ultimate Ears but unsure of which model to get.

Like C360. RM249 though, but the bass is tight while the clarity still pretty decent. Thumbs up.

How much is it? I feel that more than RM200 for a pair of IEM is pricey for just listening to music..

Yeah, I tested the 350vm and 400vm at LYP earlier.. The sound was crisp and clear. Satisfied with it. Triple Fi is out of my budget, sorry.

Hi folks,

I'm planning to get a pair of earphones cz my Sony ones lost sound on one of the ears. The earphones has to have a mic+track control functions so I don't need to remove my phone/music player from my pocket to switch tracks or change the volume.

I'm thinking of Ultimate Ears but unsure of which model to get.

If you can afford

U can choose UE triple.fi 10... tongue.gif

Very nice earphone for that range of price

From an audiophile point of view, it is easier to get much better quality audio out of the iDevices using LOD bypass which at the moment still hardly possible on the Galaxies.

Guys, I'm listening more towards metal which means I don't want massive bass in my EARPHONES. Earphones aite? Not over ear or etc, I want earphones. Any suggestions? I've tried the Logitech ultimate ears 400 one and it satisfied me 100%. Sadly, it got lost in friend's party. Anyways, yea. Genre = metal, rock, instrumental stuffs. Bass mustn't be emphasized.

Comparing to other reference class headphones, the TMA-1 Studio may appear a little veiled on the mids and highs but the bass is very much extended. Great for popular genres like rock, pop, rnb etc.

You never know what you will like before you test. Heh.

Just a real life example, last week my friend and i went to Jaben[Penang Branch]. My friend was aiming some bass iem that is priced around 100, how ever, after he sits there and tested for around 2 hours, he finally decides to buy the Denon C360 which is RM250, around 2.5x of this initial budget, thats because the sound quality differs too much!

Well, just go and test out which one you like and follow your heart.

My friend was aiming some bass iem that is priced around 100, how ever, after he sits there and tested for around 2 hours, he finally decides to buy the Denon C360 which is RM250, around 2.5x of this initial budget, thats because the sound quality differs too much!

Well, just go and test out which one you like and follow your heart.

Well, I tested UE 350vm and 400vm is quite good but I want to test Munitio Billets where I can't seem to find it at any shops.. Any idea where I might be able to find it?

Hi, can you give me some recommendations on headphones? Which is fairly priced, preferably RM500-600 maximum.

I'm looking for something that has very good sound clarity with a decent amount of bass. And non-muffled sound, as my previous headphones has a very muffled / blocked sound which makes the sound less clear and soft.

- Iphone / Laptop / Desktop.
- Music / Gaming / Movies
-Various file formats
- Genre of music : Almost anything. Mostly looking for clarity but with a decent bass because I do listen to metal as well.
- Headphone/ earphone type- Probably a comfortable one which doesn't fully insulate the sound from outside? Because I don't like to feel a vacuum in my ears (makes me dizzy). This means "Open" right? But I do not want people to be able to listen to the music I'm listening to when the volume is really high.
- Other requirements : Volume control would be nice.

Hope to hear from you! Sorry I am such a newbie.

Thanks for your recommendations. I am interested in the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s with straight cables. Do you think this is a good headphone to use outside of the house as well? As in while travelling,etc. Because from what I read it says that this is a "professional studio" monitor headphone. Just wondering if it's easy to bring around as well, without looking weird. Thank you!

hi guys, would like to go for headphone instead of iem. i'm still new to headphone as my daily music listening rig was just iem previously. i've tried my friend's HD555 which is a opened back headphone, i having harsh time to enjoy the music when surrounding is noisy or whatever, if enjoy during night, i worry that i would annoy my bro who is sleeping next to me. so would like to go for closed back instead.

- My Rig: Laptop/ sansa fuze
- Type of usage: Music
- File format: mp3/flac
- Music genre: all kind
- Budget: 600+/-
- Headphone/ earphone type: closed back
- Other requirements (if any): crisp, clear, good music separation with punchy bass.

Have been eyeing on goldring dr 150 with vero cable, but too bad it is a opened back. Another headphone on my list is audio technica m50, havent audition it personally yet. So would like to ask for suggestions from all sifu's here =)

hello guys. I'm looking for full closed headphone (not sure this terms correct or not rclxub.gif ) under RM150 that is best for classical music and some 80s rock (not hard metal). currently looking for either ATH T-200 or superlux HD668. or any more recommendation are appreciated nod.gif

tried ATH T-500 (obviously bigger bro of T-200) like the sound very2 much, but the price is out of my budget.

thanks!

summarized a bit here,

- Rig (mp3 players, Laptop)
- What type of usage (musics only)
- File format used (i.e. flac, mp3, WMA)
- Genre of music (classical, with occasionally 80s rocks, not really metal..)
- Headphone/ earphone type (closed, this means full sized headphone right?)
- Other requirements (don't care laugh.gif )


(I'm noob in musical terms.. sweat.gif )

thanks notworthy.gif

Can anyone give me a IEM earphone recommendation that is quite all rounded, similar to the ATH-M50. Of course not as good but similar in characteristics. Good clarity, good bass. An all-rounder.

Budget about 200-300?

1. They let you test
2. They assure you that is genuine
3. They provide good warranty service, they have a shop, they won't run away
4. If you can nego with them, they might offer you great bundle

If these reasons are not important to you, go for the other seller that you mentioned in previous post. smile.gif

Saw a guy while in Singapore, hooked up his M50 black in the Marina Bay shopping mall.

I was thinking, probably someone would hang his LCD or Senn 650 and walking around the mall too! Don't forget, it's like wearing a gold necklace. Haha tongue.gif

Hi, I had a chance to try the Beats Mixr last Friday, I like it. I mainly listen to electronic dance music, EDM and occasionally some jazz and a little bit of RnB.
I liked how i can feel the bass. It's punchy, strong and makes my music come to life.
As all of you may have figured out, I don't really care that much for the trebles or soundstage of the headphone.

My question is, what other headphones would you recommend besides these Mixr's based on the preference I have given above (BASS). I don't want some clarity shit with no bass feel, just a pair of cans that would blow/rattle my heart out when I put them on --> BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Please don't recommend me the Sony XB1000. I don't have elephant ears.

Budget is 1k.

BASS --> Closed type --> Quite portable --> Clarity/soundstage/yadayadayada aka not important.


Appreciate all the help. Thank you!

Viewing old thread and saw your reply. Seriously, LiveSound isn't good for me, the sound is bad for that price. Mid and high is ok, but the bass is very very weak and the only selling point for that iem for me is the volume control. Go get other IEM  lah bro~ rclxms.gif

yeah...i tried my fren livesound....the sound quality doesnt contain much bass....its for clarity sound....

For crazy bass I think you can try the XX series JVC headphone. Coz I have tried the XX series IEM and they rattled my heart to extend that I don't want to wear it anymore. Scare my heart cant take it.

Anyway its within the budget line, I mean not premium. Among available model are HA-S4X & HA-M5X

Hi, I had a chance to try the Beats Mixr last Friday, I like it. I mainly listen to electronic dance music, EDM and occasionally some jazz and a little bit of RnB.
I liked how i can feel the bass. It's punchy, strong and makes my music come to life.
As all of you may have figured out, I don't really care that much for the trebles or soundstage of the headphone.

My question is, what other headphones would you recommend besides these Mixr's based on the preference I have given above (BASS). I don't want some clarity shit with no bass feel, just a pair of cans that would blow/rattle my heart out when I put them on --> BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Please don't recommend me the Sony XB1000. I don't have elephant ears.

Budget is 1k.

BASS --> Closed type --> Quite portable --> Clarity/soundstage/yadayadayada aka not important.
Appreciate all the help. Thank you!

hello guys. I'm looking for full closed headphone (not sure this terms correct or not rclxub.gif ) under RM150 that is best for classical music and some 80s rock (not hard metal). currently looking for either ATH T-200 or superlux HD668. or any more recommendation are appreciated nod.gif

tried ATH T-500 (obviously bigger bro of T-200) like the sound very2 much, but the price is out of my budget.

thanks!

summarized a bit here,

- Rig (mp3 players, Laptop)
- What type of usage (musics only)
- File format used (i.e. flac, mp3, WMA)
- Genre of music (classical, with occasionally 80s rocks, not really metal..)
- Headphone/ earphone type (closed, this means full sized headphone right?)
- Other requirements (don't care laugh.gif )
(I'm noob in musical terms.. sweat.gif )

thanks notworthy.gif

Overall performance for those headphones is moderate, has clear and detail separation between instrument.

Sorry, never try Bose headphones so don't know how well its sound, but from review its noise cancelling function quiet good.

Beats' build quality is actually very good and sturdy, but the sound quality ain't that good.

Bass too aggressive and lacks in the details... (subjective)

XP1: the beast Bass focus earphone which suitable for bass head and love punchy tight bass.

XP2: Bass reduced compare with the XP1, good balance between treble and low frequency with great handle.

XP3: the most neutral and detail out of 3, suitable for all kind of music.

seems like XP1 is for bass head rclxub.gif think will go for xp3. thxs for d recommendation though smile.gif

hi guys, i need something tough IEM that at least last a year.
i have been using philips IEM with my mp3 for over 5 years just because the level of output is nice with me but the earphone/IEM itself very fragile..
every year i have to buy 2 or 3 that cost me RM 115 every time. sad.gif
i think i saw some tough IEM that from beats i think that cost almost RM 500. Is there something similar that cost around RM 300??

- Music mostly j-pop, anisongs
- Mp3
- Pop, instrumental,
- Earphone - Earbud / IEM
- mic/volume control or NA
- under or around RM 300

thank you.. notworthy.gif

I have friends with beats iem and most of them failed in under a year. If you want to get beats better buy from authorized dealer for peace of mind.
My Westone has last me for 3 years and still going strong and I treat them quite harsh. If you willing to shop around online, I suggests westone UM1. Otherwise you can go for the new beyerdynamic xp series or audio technica.

Maybe u can take a look at Brainwavz M4 or Meelectronics A151 which is lesser than Rm200. or even klipsch S4 if u have Rm300 budget.

So first and foremost, my budget - RM 260 and below
My rig - Phone mp3, pc on-board sound card (Asus m5a97)
Usage - Movie, gaming and music (at least good for both gaming and music)
File format - not sure about this, maybe mp3, wmv, mp4
Genre - pop, rock, r&b, church-type songs
Type - circumaural or closed
Requirements - I don't think that with my budget I can ask for too much wink.gif

Guys I have a budget of rm299 and I'm looking at Grado SR60i which is 300 a little over, wondering if it's worth it or are there better contenders for that price range.

- Will be using onbaord audio for now, planning to get sound card or a DAC soon
- Music, but I will use it for gaming anyway but I don't care about gaming performance
- mp3, flac
- Rock, hard rock, metal etc. bands like LZ, nirvana those sort
- Headphone, closed preferably but I wont mind open

Guys I have a budget of rm299 and I'm looking at Grado SR60i which is 300 a little over, wondering if it's worth it or are there better contenders for that price range.

- Will be using onbaord audio for now, planning to get sound card or a DAC soon
- Music, but I will use it for gaming anyway but I don't care about gaming performance
- mp3, flac
- Rock, hard rock, metal etc. bands like LZ, nirvana those sort
- Headphone, closed preferably but I wont mind open

Music + Closed/Open + Budget RM 299 headphones:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-EP700 (open-back + clarity)
[+] JVC HA-S400 (closed-back + balanced SQ)

i want to share if this help. for budget over/in ear i got 3 on my hand.

1) Audio-Technica ATH-SJ11 (<rm120)
-small (used by my daughter)
-foldable
-big & deep bass
-clear treble (very?)
-no head padded, maybe hurt
-for general music & movies

2) MEElectronics M6 (<rm80)
-very pro looks (esp clear color)
-same as ath sj11 sound character but lack of deep bass
-little bit uncomfortable if not wear it properly

3) Soundmagic PL21
-mellow (not lump) like jazz guitar
-deep bass & clear treble
-tiredless after hours of music listening
-best wear cable straight down
-physically looks normal, not looks expensive
-best for music & premium cinema movies sound

for music source, all in 1 device (smartphone of course), i'm not recomended android, iphone always right about premium sq. but if you really hate apple, htc's beat sound & sony maybe okay (i'm using modded xperia arc, even stock sq not really good). avoid srs & dolby, they sound crap. samsungs are BIG NO, sound crap.

Guise I'm looking for a headphone at around RM100-RM150,and I have stumbled across these two headphones that is the Sennheiser HD201 and Audio-Technica ATH-M20,which one is more durable (considering I broke a G35 before) and has better sound quality?Any other headphones around that price is welcomed too biggrin.gif

-Using on board sound card with no amps,so a decent headphone will do the job
-Using it to monitor,mix,and record my guitar covers
-file format : mostly WAV for recording,and mp3 for casual listening

So if I am down to these cans - Superlux 668b, Grado Sr60i and Steelseries Siberia V1
Which would be the best choice? hmm.gif

For gaming and music with my aforementioned budget of rm260 below. I know I have to top up for Grado tongue.gif

Well speaking from experience I think the bass is not overwhelming, just as it supposed to sound. But again sound preference is subjective tongue.gif Anyway for less bass but clear everything else why not get GR99. But not available in Msia. hmm.gif

Hey guys, not sure where else to post this, but does anyone know where I can get my headphones repaired?
I bought a Creative headset, the headphones stopped working but the mic works fine. I'd take it back to the shop i bought it from but i lost the receipt and i can't remember where i bought it from..
Would Jaben repair, even if it's not a brand they carry?
