QUOTE(phillip88 @ Apr 21 2013, 01:33 PM) Grado SR60i Is this the one? [http://www.audio-technica.com.sg/con_product.php?prodid=20Sennheiser HD202 Sennheiser HD429 Audio-Technica ATH-M35 Beyerdynamic DT231pro Grado OUT. HD429 OUT. Open can disqualified in bus/plane. Senn signature = BASS AT Signature = Treble. Beyer 231 = balanced. Isolation wise = all are not optimal. Extra suggestion. ATH Pro5Mk2. Fischer Audio FA series also can. I prefer more punch on the bass type of headphones. Btw, what is the signature of Fischer Audio? |

QUOTE(phillip88 @ Apr 21 2013, 01:44 PM) punch? in a crowded or potentially noisy place? really need headphones ar? Can go for earphones? Because bass without isolation is almost nonexistence. IEM can better isolate noise. open type has better bass compared to close type due to isolation effect? You don't wanna turn the volume too loud because it could damage your ears. BTW, budget? sorry, noobie here. Care to explain in short? Don't feel comfortable with the earpiece stuck on my ear for long hours. Budget let's say max RM400 |

QUOTE(phillip88 @ Apr 21 2013, 01:55 PM) SOund wave is the movement of air. More air normally allows more bass (if the design allows). However, it depends on how they tune the headphones also. What about this combination?I mean, In Ear Monitor (IEM) earphones are better at bass in louder environment due to isolation, which means the bass won't be overpowered by the noisy environment before reaching your ears. IEM with bass at such price, i normally recommends Shure SE215. Headphones? Cheaper ones? How about: Marshall Major, Shure SRH550 (very tight clamping) http://jaben.com.my/shopping2/Audio-Techni...KII-Hippo-Boom/ |

QUOTE(phillip88 @ Apr 21 2013, 02:11 PM) A modest entry level kit. Thanks for the tip. Shall go and test it out first before attempting to buy.A value buy. However, honestly i must warn u of Audio Technica's Bass. It is not powerful. It doesn't slam. Unless... You EQ it, or you buy external amp with bass boost option. But... The sound, for that price, is considered Quality. Clean. Besides AT since it's not so much of a bass type. Which of the Sennheiser would you recommend? |

QUOTE(Skidd Chung @ Apr 23 2013, 10:04 PM) I have both the Superlux HD 669 and the HD 681. I prefer the HD 681 even though it is much cheaper. Is there still rusty problem with the HD681?The 669 is uncomfortable. The sound is good and balance, just that the construction of the headphone feels too rigid. 1 good point of it is that it has a detacheable cable, the package comes with 2 cables, a short and long one and also a basic cloth bag. But the comfort issues really kills it, as you can always feel it on your head and your ears... While the 681 is much more comfortable. It's lighter and the top support doesn't feel like 2 pointy things on top of your head like the 669 feels to me. But it's cheaper and doesn't come with detacheable cables. Sound is more crisp, tending on the high side but it gets better as it's burnt in. I fully recommend the HD681, but won't even recommend the 669 if anyone asks. |

QUOTE(Skidd Chung @ Apr 23 2013, 11:18 PM) Rusty problem? Elaborate please. I've read somewhere last year that the Superlux HD series has rusty problems but I couldn't remember exactly which location in the headphones.The headphone is made mostly out of plastics and doesn't seem to have any visible metal parts which may rust. Are you sure we're talking about the same headphone here? For reference : Superlux HD 681 |
