Nuforce NE-650M

What about a-Jays Two and Beyerdynamic XP2? What are your thoughts on that?

Nuforce NE-600M IEM

Hi guys, which brand is better?

Seinheiser, Audio Technica and Superlux?

Would appreciate if you guys could differentiate it too

it might be due to the drivers being slightly hard to drive, try getting an amp for it, not all IEMs are easy drivers to sound well, S2 IPod Touch 4, Desktop sound card, laptop sound card are not up to the standards of decent sounding, they are bare minimum, EQ not recommended

the best combination is always external usb dac + external amp to IEM, but you can start with USB DAC + amp combined

I really unexpected a budget earphone are so picky. I think it's quite susah to carry an amp around so now when I choose phone, really limited already. I heard people say Galaxy SIII has very nice sound, Wolfson DAC, but my DENON sounds like crap too. The only android phone can drive my DENON is Xperia Z1, with bass mode on. I try on my laptop and software EQ does a lot.

perhaps different music taste, u might be a basshead maybe? all about bass and nothing but a big bass can satisfy you?

Used to be, until I used mt 1st Audio Technica, which is very light on bass, I prefer balance but with slightly bias towards bass. Problem is my DENON sounds like a laptop speaker, very clear laptop speaker, so you understand. How you guys think about ATH-SJ55? Thinking of getting myself a pair.

All has different sound signature and so many models to choose from... you should filter down your preferences

Hi, urgently need a set of headphones because my surroundings are too damn noisy and I can't study at all with kids whining near me and I even get disturbed by the sound of the toilet flushing next door.

- Your rig (mp3 players, amps, sound card etc) standard laptop with on-board sound card, iPad, Nokia smartphone
- What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc) all, prefer with a bit more bass if budget allows
- File format used in your source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc) .mp3, hardly flac
- Genre of music you listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc) all except speed metal and country
- Headphone/ earphone type (closed, open, circumaural, IEM etc) I guess I have no choice to go for closed (the sound quality will be worse, right?) but I really need to reduce the noise from outside.
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc) with mic if possible.

Budget: below RM200. Very sad budget, I know.. Hopefully it's not too much to get something for that low budget. Please also do tell me on where I can purchase your recommendation. Thank you!

EDIT: also, I'm currently only using my Nokia stock IEM.. so I think anything would impress me at this point. My Cube F1 and Sonic Gear earphones all died within less than a year of usage and can't really be repaired unless soldered.. if possible I'd like for my future headphones to be highly repairable (especially at the 3.5mm jack area)

Currently interested in: audio-technica ATH T500, Superlux HD681 EVO, Superlux HD661
