RM300+ can consider Creative Aurvana live. The sound is close to Denon 1100/1001.

Any nice IEM to recommend? I do go around frequently and having that over my head is a little inconvenient lol. Thanks!

Budget RM350 IEM:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CKS55XiS (balanced + mic for smartphone)
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CKM500iS (bass+ mic for smartphone)
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CHX5iS (clarity + mic for smartphone)

Can consider Hifiman RE400. Its quite natural and comfortable sounding, not very punchy with strong attack but the sound is balance enough. Hifiman uniqueness is that it sounds like speaker. The details are clear with good separation. If got higher budget can consider Hifiman recently launched portable player HM700 + RE400B. RE400B is with balance output, the sound is even more clean and with better details. Sound more smooth as well.

Else if you can up budget to RM400+ can consider Vsonic GR07 MKII or GR07 bass edition. Gr07 is Vsonic flagship. MKII just stop production recently but you can still buy it in the market. To me MKII's sound is balance enough, only go for bass edition if you really prefer heavier bass. It's more pop sound as compare to hifiman.

inconvinient? i bring my q701 out for walks

i don't dare to wear mine in the public lol

the biggest i tried is HE400, heavy i tell you! those canare cables are really a drag

many ppl look at you or not? i wanna try this one day also. recently there is also a diy cable with mic for akg q701 on ebay. i might buy that for phone use. haha troll big time

Hahaha geng. I doubt I'll want to drive around with that over my head lol. But thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I'll look around a little bit more for the final choice

DAC/AMP I use is
Ordnance .25 with the source from an iMac/laptop or xDuoo TA-02 Tube amp
But that's what I use. I'm not getting it for myself.

I can't really recall their amp/source brand/model they use hmmm.
But let's say it's through the Ordnance.25 amp/DAC, which headphone around Rm1K would you recommend ?

Took the AKG K712Pro driven off the ALO PanAm powered by the ALO Passport to the beach

Bro where can I find the Zalman clip on mic in Malaysia? tried my best but still cannot find

- rig : desktop and handphone.
- What type of usage : music.
- File format used in your source : flac, mp3..
- Genre of music you listen to : universal.
- Headphone type : please recommend.
- Budget : rm400

since you need a one for all, maybe try some on-ear? cause you didnt specify what you want, as in headphone has different types, on-ear? over ear? earphone?

i think over ear suit me well.

Koss ProDJ100

Budget RM400 headphones:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-PRO5MK2
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-WS55X
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-M30

If you can up your budget a little bit, I suggest ATH M50. Still the most popular model and even lots of musicians and composers use it for sound monitoring.
It is different with other ATH series. The bass amount is quite sufficient. (usually ATH headphones tend to have lesser bass)
Overall quite balance sound. Lesser need in amping compare to other big brand headphones such as k271, hd598 and so on. To me, suitable for all genres.

I think for guys shouldn't have a problem. But as a girl, I don't like wearing over ear in front of others, because after a while, my hair will be out of shape. Lol

rig : mainly laptop & probably desktop sum time later
- What type of usage : music, movie, games
- File format used in your source : mp3s
- Genre of music you listen to : universal.
- Headphone / Amp type : do recommend, im planning to get both headphones (comfortable) + dac & amp combo (doesn't require any extra AC power)
- Budget : best value for money ? appreciate if u could give me some option

thanks
