if budget below 200 then go for sony ex81, super balance sound

KOSS n Audio Technica is oso nice but for me a bit tooo pricey

where to get sony ex81?

Alamaklor,
the last pic on that sony earphone is ex81? don't seem to find it in sony's website

nope, that's the Qualia MDR-EXQ1. It's limited edition I believe, either that or the production has been discontinued. They cost a few times more than the ex81

ok thanks for the info. anyway is there any other earphones better than sony ex51?

Am currently using that but feel that it isn't enough for my ears

that audio technica earphones are damn sexy.
bluetin.com sell them...
i nearly bought leh last time

I'm not very familiar with earphones since they don't really have much resale value so I dun really play with them much. But yeah, there are MANY earphones (IEMs, Canalphones, and etc) that are better than the sony. It all depends on how much you are willing to pay

haha, then i guess you dont mind spending more than the price of your ipod with alamaklor's suggestion?

get real, just give us your budget so that you'll get some reasonable suggestions

wanna ask something here y u guys change earphone?ain't the default ipod earphone are good enough?

how good is good enough?

for some ppl, a Kancil is good enough
others spend 20 times that price on a BMW which does the same thing

if u feel your earphones are doing fine for you, then just keep to it and u get to save some cash
others feel they want better, so they get better ones
"good enough" is a matter of oppinion

Where can I find brand new Etymotics in KL then?

can get them from a forummer here scotty
very few shops have them, and if they do the prices are something like RM600

Honestly for me, the default ear plugs is not very "orgasmic" for me. If you feel what I am saying.

yup... i am with ya.. although the stock buds rock... but they are simply not worthy enuf for ur ipod... plug in a sony mdrex81 and u will feel the difference instantly

Heya guys what abt http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=236696&st=60

Any of you recommend this? =)

Is it really that bad?
Coz I am actually planning to get it from that fella soon..
Hehe

Then what do you all suggest ..below RM100?

or else, get what KilJim is selling now. Etymotic ER-6i...

B&O A8 USD140 - RM532 min
Qualia USD180 - RM684 min

spend that much for ur ears.....

wah.... so expensive lorrrrr
this can becum an audiophile thread le
lol

that's a problem with you fitting with in-earphones, not that they're bad or anything
confused me with your earlier comment

yeah, he feels that since he can afford an ipod, he surely can afford any kinda earphones !

that's crazy man...

where got crazy....the phone cost a few times the ipod only mar not to mention that you probably still need a portable amplifier to drive it....prepare another RM1k+ for a good one .

The most I have spent on my portable ipod setup....not including the ipod mini was Ray Samuels SR71 + Etymotic ER4...about RM2k. If I had no budget....heck I'd go for those custom IEMs right away! still play with earphones meh...

the ipod sounds really good and deserves something like that (no pun intended), but only if you are going with the "proper procedure" that is ipod -> pocketdock (or other line out) -> headamp -> headphone

what? you thought those are hearing aid for old popo?

alamaklor, does the universal dock has a sound output??

universal dock? 3rd party ones I suppose? I think almost all dock, original or third party has true line-out. use that if you are connecting your ipod to a speaker....the headphone out is quite crappy....imho.

yalor...
tried that de..
IT SUCKED big time...

OT

do u guys think better to use line out for portable listening?

or using the headphone out is just fine>

the first time I connected the ipod headphone out to my speaker.....it was totally disappointing.....poor dynamic range....lots of distortion and crackling sound.....and the funny thing is...the EQ doesn't work (it works but it distort stuff like hell) but if you use the line out...the EQ actually works perfectly!

if portable then use the headphone out...
if u use it to listen at home i think betta to use the use line out

mmm last time use lineout with headamp....now just plug my px100 into the headphone directly....gonna convert back to headamp + IEM soon....can;t stand the px100 already.

oh btw, if you run your ipod through a line out and then to a headamp...it would save the ipod some battery since you can now set the volume to 0 and it doesnt drive the headphone directly.

haiyooo...
5 my brother... same case here... thts y thinkin of gettin a dock..
lol... maybe will do a bulk lor... wahahah

Anyone bought the one that jimmy sells?

The wireless logitech headphone..?

Is it compatible with the iPod 5G?

mmmm no need lar....just go http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/poc...lineout-fw.html

keep an eye there coz sometimes they give free shipping. I bought it sometime during katrina...the shipping was free...only had to pay 19usd. there was once they give out a firewire dock for free....you only need to pay for shipping.

ps: it may sound bad...but when there is some serious natural dissaster....they will give free shipping (they use the "shipping fees" to donate to the unfortunate)

wow..
tht thingy really small n portable enuf leee... does it improve the sound system even with the same stock earbud?

actually...it is not that small.... if you are wondering how big it is....put your two tumbs parallel to each other....it's almost that wide and probably half the length.

You dun run a headphone directly from the line out....the output power of the line out would probably destroy a earphone with short exposure. You need to run the ipod to an amp(headamp/speakeramp).

edit: let me take this opportunity to introduce this to you guys:

What about the Sony earphones? Selling at RM40+ at any Sony outlets.

yakah....i remember i only paid USD19.90 for it. just keep an eye there...It's a 1 shot thing, so im not sure what happened to the price...

EDIT: how much? dunno yet....when it's ready i will post up a thread in garage sale. it will be affordable....well this is truely something that if you can own an ipod, you wont have problem buying it

This post has been edited by AlamakLor: Feb 14 2006, 03:28 PM

haha..
if it is small and portable, i think i am goin to get one... but dunno wad dock to buy and which earphone to get if i wan to get such a nice sound reproducibility

ok guys, seriously...i'm getting bored of my Sony EX51. doesn't really cancel the noise when it's in my ears so i need something better than it. any recommendations? nothing more than rm400 pls

wah... noise cancelation lorrrr..
erm... i think u shld go check out the etymotic in-ears... but they are rather pricey...

ah, finally someone else who doesnt think the Sony's isolation is good

if it's isolation you're looking for, the next step for IEMs (and locally available) are the Etymotic ER-6i, Shure E2c, Panasonic HJE-70
the etys are really good at isolating, but they're really overpriced locally and over your budget (so are the shures)
not sure about the Panasonic's isolation though

I'll check the Etymotics in HK. i'll be here til May

it's the same size as a credit card

i think you can only get the ety er6/6i for around RM400. I have not heard of the er6i, but the er6 sounded like crap and I sold it 2-3 days after I got it.

kudos for the size!!!
erm... rm400.... need to save save save to get those precious headphone...

erm... before that back to reality u guys...
where i have to find that type of earphone in sarawak ?

erm... sarawak ar... dunno la... but if u wan u can jus get anyone of us here to help u buy it and post to u lor... of course the postage u pay or u can browse thru the bulk section... i remembered a LYN member doin a bulk for the etymotic earphones...
jus do a plain search la..

you'll barely even find it at KL

yepp, u can get them from scotty but they're still pretty overpriced
nothing near the RM400 mark

erm..
rm400 stil overpriced ar?? then how much is the price supposed to be??

read my post above again...
i said his price is way above RM400
not that RM400 is overpriced

im using it for my 5g,overall not bad but not suitable for outdoor use coz the noise isolation not that good.

now looking at 5pro / E500

what is the best isolation earphone in market that money can buy?

page #1

hohoho ... i think the earphone is no important now.. as the new ipod is coming to town.. kekek..

yes, lets all use stock earphones and save up for a new ipod
you'll be doing that for the rest of your life

actually has anybody counted how long it takes for ipod to launch new models nowadays? i wanted to do it some time ago and i belive by estimation they launch new model semi annually...

You guys discussing about earphone or headphone?

earphones obviously. headphones can go up to RM20k or more....so RM3k+ for a custom IEM should be just right

I was quite broke when i decided to upgrade my iPod earphones, and i really wanted an in-ear earphones like the ones Sony and Apple had, so i went and bought the Philips version. Now i know that Philips earphones/headphones really suck, but this one was quite decent, considering it only cost me RM89.90 at Low Yat's IT Hypermarket. They have a whole range of in-ear earphones, but i got the budget ones. Surprisingly they offer quite decent sound quality (better than the regular iPod ones), and they come with three different earbud sizes, 1.2m split cables (two cables that can be joined), and earphone case. For earphones under RM100, worth a try.

PHILIPS SHE9500 Earphones

any reason why u said "Now i know that Philips earphones/headphones really suck,"

hahaha... dunno la..i think philips earphones not bad la.... but it seems tht the goood ones are rather pricey...

u didnt expect the RM30 ones to be good now did u?

hahaha..
no la... i mean like >rm500 like the AKG ...
lol...
tried on one... the sound DAMN CHUNNNNN ...belongs to my boss as he is oso an ipod user... LOL

i just checked etymotics er6i here in HK. priced at HK$1080 which is around Rm540. that price is only from 1 shop. i'll check more later

Cos i've tried so many budget philips earphones, and they are really quite lousy. SONY, JVC, and even AIWA ones (for the same price) have produced better quality and lasted longer. That was when i actually gave up on Philips.

But i saw these SHE9500

and decided to give it another chance. (I only can afford earphones around RM100).
Turns out they're pretty decent. Not bad.

when i read the sentence saying philips earphones/headphones really suck... i thought you will be getting alot of flames from lynians. hehehee!

i used to own the 890 and 895... and to be honest... i love 'em!

alkt,
if u find the prices cheap pls pm me can???? i wan tumpang u buyyyyy

geejun2,
just got back from Wan Chai PC Centre. 1 shop offering the er6i for HK$980 while others offered HK$998-1080

But the problem is...if i buy and bring it back...how do claim warranty larrrr since it's ok HK warranty

hi all,
update on the Etymotic er6i, cheapest so far i found is HK$890 so u do the maths

that's RM426!

RM426 is pretty ok, discountheadphone would sell them for around 110usd shipped. a used er6i is alot cheaper but not everybody likes used earphone...let alone "in" ear monitors

holy crap~~that expensive?? but the B&O one is really nice

unfortunately...that's all it is good at...."look"

Rm426 for a new on the spot er6i cheap mah, dun need credit card also

gonna get them by next week if i get my pay

the problem is whether they are worth it or not. I didn't like the er6 one single bit, how much can the er6i deviate? as for the ety er4, tha's a different story. it's by far the best iem at <usd200 that i've tried. anytime eat up the e4 alive. if you wanan be safe, just fork out a little more for the er4.

bah Alamak....really alamak lar. i just got them then came to check the forums then i alamak

but anyway, really like them. really block every noise including those noisy buses and trams in HK here

lol.. u beter check ur ears when u are 50..

yeah, isolation is very good

rite.... using canal phones will give u ear problems by 50

hmm, found out that even though it really closes up my ears. still finding some ways to listen properly on my left ear cos the flange position a bit cacat

yeah it takes time to practice using the triflange. for the mean time, maybe u just wanna use the foamies, that gives IEM n00bs the best seal. when u are used to the triflange, it's damn easy to use, just put it in, twist a little and u're done.

yea i know, been trying that yesterday night til i fall asleep

erm.. ear problem by 50?? i think i am having some rite now at 24..
loved walkman, discman since i was small... now... ipod after 3 years of savings...
hehehe

or maybe you'd wanna mod them to 2-flanges instead
