So last month I bought this cable from Jaben Subang, cost me RM80(see resit)

[attachmentid=3289272]

[attachmentid=3289273]

Yesterday went to jalan pasar and saw the 3.5mm jack used in the cable, which cost RM3 per piece(see resit).

Let say RM3 for the sleeving and heat shrink, RM10 for workmanship, RM10 untung for jaben, RM10 untung for pcwork

so

RM80 - RM3 - RM10 - RM10 - RM10 - RM6(the jack will be cheaper if take in bulk) = so does the cable really cost RM41 ?
So i get a cheepo cable which is RM2.40 per meter to create my own cable(see pic below), and surprisingly the cheepo cable can produce the same quality audio and the RM80 cable and plus the cheepo cable produce more crispy vocal  shocking.gif

So am i being cheated by jaben? I have no idea.

If anyone want to test the cable, I live in cyber, if anyone live in cyber and want to test the cable, feel free to pm me.

[attachmentid=3289274]
[attachmentid=3289275]
[attachmentid=3289276]

I rest my case

Dear customer, if you have some issue with the cable price. Please come to talk with us in the store but not posting here misleading people.

Let me show you the flaw in your calculations.

Let say RM3 for the sleeving and heat shrink, RM10 for workmanship, RM10 untung for jaben, RM10 untung for pcwork, RM2.40 in the cable

OK first you don't know the cost of the cable, the cable PCwork used remained secret but I can vouch for him he is using at least one that is reasonably good and durable cable. Did you test it in high end earphones and headphones? What rig did you used to compare? How and why do you want to fix our returns or our stock?

Do you know there are hidden cost? Taxes? Initial investment to make cables? Rentals? Wages? Transport? Other expenses? I assume you never involved in any business activities and understand how they works. You couldn't be saying and analysing and dissecting things like this.

I hope we can stop this cable discussion as it is no point continue. You may PM me if you are not happy with my replies, thanks.

Hi guys, I am using a sennheiser amperior and I am using my iphone 5 as the source laugh.gif. Music would be in alac (flac) format and I listen to EDM tongue.gif. Any portable amp to recommend? smile.gif Thank you.

You can try a few, but I am not sure which range you are looking at.
Try something starting from GoVibe mini box mk2, Martini+, iBasso series, Vest+. But if you are using iphone 5 you have to find another solution...

I think you will need a noise cancelling ones. I can recommend you a more economical ones. You can take the Goldring NS1500.

Jaben, i wonder what u feel/think: ppl go to yr store to audition stuffs.. after finish try2 for 1-2 hours, go out without buying..or more worst, he buy from other seller later on.. even worst, in other shop when ppl ask can try or not, seller will say no trying here, can go to jaben to try.. lol.. as username above says, whatsayyou?

I had a great experience with jaben on Saturday, picked up a pair of Shure SE535 Clears. Loving the sound, just fiddling with trying to find the right earbuds. I am tempted to try the Comply professionals unless there are any other suggestions?
*
You can use back the Shure black olive tips?

QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 20 2013, 11:32 AM)
That's the risk of operating a business.

You can't prevent it from happening as that is how they operate the business. Jaben can enforce a strict no testing policy but that will treat real potential jaben buyers unfairly just because of this minority of scrooges.

Neither can they say no to particular people if they think they are just there to screw around, or they will be accused of being biased.

So, they just take it in their stride for the sake of the "authentic" jaben customers. This is what you should be appreciative for.
*
Yeah, we do understand there will be this kind of customer exist, they are just free-loaders. Thinking that we provide free services and end up buying from some whatever seller that sells slightly cheaper (if exist).

Erm, I wanna ask, im stumbled with Beyerdynamic XP1,XP2,XP3

Previously, im using Heartbeats by Monster Beats and i love the way the bass sounds like but im not sure which to choose, XP1 or XP3

Is the XP1 bass the same level as Heartbeats ?

Sry if the question is too specific
*
Heart beats is in between xp1 to xp2.

QUOTE(Lespectraal @ Mar 1 2013, 09:09 AM)
Quick question, is there a VSONIC GR01 available? Or can you guys recommend me a good analytical and bright sounding BA IEM for my purchase? The ProOne is another IEM I'm considering to purchase, but when is that going to be released?
*
We only have GR02, 04, 06, 07.

QUOTE(skycrawler @ Mar 4 2013, 01:57 PM)
Hi walabies, im looking for Beyerdynamic XP series eartips replacement. I already contact Jaben thru Fb. After few questions, they didnt reply me. Please PM me price and u sell in sets of 4 or one pair? Thanks
*
Hi I will PM u so sorry. Did you post on our walls?

QUOTE(Lespectraal @ Mar 4 2013, 04:43 PM)
I used to have it, it's just that it does not have that low range emphasis I demand on my sound. It is clear bright and analytical, not to mention having such great flow of timbre that makes it so good at instrument separation, it's just missing that low range rumble to complete the music. Now this is on the grey filters, and they give the bright sound. Switching the filter can save the lows, but it won't have that magical clarity I want.

The ProOne, I believe, will save that. I've tried it out in Jaben for quite some time and truth be told, I'm very impressed. It has all I want(though slightly less, but negligible), but with the low range emphasis.

Now, if there are other BA IEMs you can recommend, I'd love to hear it.
*
ProOne is one of our proud, even Westone UM1 can't rival with it. Other BA is the Fischer Audio DBA MK2, and go up will be Shure SE315 onwards...

Or when will it released??

Haha, will think of it in the mid of month.

QUOTE(arslow @ Mar 7 2013, 01:46 AM)
What would be a nice upgrade from fxt 90? About rm 600 budget. I like everything about the fxt 90 but it could with a lil more bass at times.
*
More pleasant and smooth from FTX90? I also feel that it has some overpowered bass at times. Consider Final Audio Heaven IV. Silky smooth, nice mids... Though a little big more expensive but well worth it.

QUOTE(ssmui @ Mar 7 2013, 06:36 PM)
Hi Walabies,

I would like to order a few models of headphones and DAC&Amplifers (portable & Desktop) for home and office use.  Can you send them over to Jaben Penang?  I will let you know the models.

After auditioning, if to my liking, I will purchase them. Can you help to arrange that please ?  I can put down a deposit if it is necessary.

Thank you so much !

Mui

Yes I can arrange that. Can you let any guys of the Penang store know? We can collect them.
