- Your rig: xperia z->fiio e12
- What type of usage: music
- File format used in your source: spotify and flac files (spotify most of the time now)
- Genre of music you listen to: buying this headphones for classical music ONLY
- Headphone/ earphone type: closed and over ear
- Other requirements: best if comes with mic and does not need amplification, otherwise, no mic also okay and can be driven by fiio e12, this headphones are for portable use
- Budget: 1500+-

My hands are itchy to get some new gear but actually im unsure whether i should buy a new dac and amp (fiio e18 or beyerdynamic a200p, fiio e18 is out i guess because it cannot be stacked with my phone because xperia micro usb output is on the side sleep.gif)

otherwise, im looking for a pair of preferably headphones (close and over ear) or earphones for classical music ONLY

this is because i found that ue900 mid is veiled and has an echo effect which is nice for vocals but not for instruments sleep.gif like piano, every note is like played with sustain pedal stepped on all the time

thanks very much

what you do need is a pair of monitoring grade ear/headphones and not musical nod.gif

this will do well for you whistling.gif

this is why i post my question here because i have way too many choices when it comes to headphone, below are the headphones im considering

1. sennheiser momentum
2. kef m500
3. focal spirit classic
4. b&w p7 (maybe, but way too expensive comparing to others because no discount)
5. psb m4u2
6. nad viso hp50

and so on.........

maybe beats studio 2013? XD

Those are all headphones, what are you talking about?

with the exception of Senns, the rest of the brands are not headphones manufacturers but simply branding.

Any insight of when Philips Fidelio L2 will be released? I can't find it anywhere.

In addition, is there anyway I can purchase the straight cable of soundmagic hp200 to replace hp100's bulky coiled cable?

I am eyeing these 2 right now. =x

understand that there is a proprietary locking mechanism on the cable, can you upload a picture of it hmm.gif

okay sorry i didn't define my needs properly, i know there are no best IEM like, this is the best iem you could get just get this and forget the others.
I'm looking for IEM below RM10k (allows overbudget, just don't want gold plated or diamond plated things, and ready stocks in audio shops if possible), and don't want custom IEMs of weird shape and transparent shells (for female use, they don't like it)
looking forward to AKG K3003i or sennheiser IE800 but the AKG have some parts i don't like which is mentioned above, and IE800 too, please advise.

*prefer relaxed and neutral sound signature

Dang my stock htc earphones went kaput and now I need a new pair.

budget: <rm250
rig: phone + pc
usage: 80% music 20% others
format: flac, mp3, video files
music genre: everything so the sound should be balance, not too bassy and not too soft.

remarks:- Prefer coziness over audio quality (bought shure se215 b4 and then sold it back due to comfort problem)
              -This will be my 'on the go' earphone so nothing cumbersome

Thanks in advance smile.gif
