M50 has resistance of 38 ohm while the COP has only 16 ohms..
to give you how it compares to an IEM (beyer XP 3) which has only 16 ohms..
COP is easier to drive in that sense..
unless u are aiming for DT770 pros which has 32, 80 and 250 ohms..
if that's the case, u need an amp to drive it to have larger amplitude sound wave.. (except for the LE 32 ohms)
for m50 is recommended to get a portable amp like fiio e11 or a dac (fiio e10) to gain the best sound quality for the headphones =)

dont forget the 600 ohms

so far everyone seems to be recommending M50

but the potential buyers seem to be claiming bad reviews on M50

I hope shop has it so I can test out

Almost RM500 for headphones no play play

sorry.. yeaaaaa.. forgot bout that..
but I've never heard anyone around me has it thou.. >.<

hmmmmm.. it's based on your music taste thou..
you definitely should try them out b4 buying them..
where do you stay? I'm not sure whether Jaben Subang has it or not..
I know that Harvey Norman has the M50 on display but don't buy it from there..
they sell it at a quite high price..
As for COP, you can try them at Jaben =)
I've not personally tested the M50, but COP I just had 10 minutes with it at some store at Kota Damansara
and from my personal view, it's quite good
need to take a visit to Jaben to check the DT 770 pro..
plan to buy a new headphone and in the same dilemma as you.. xD
choosing between the [DT 770 pro (80 ohms)/ M50] with Fiio E10 or the COP..

oh u couldnt test at Harvey N?

Im overseas atm too lazy didnt go to store to test stuff out hoping to see whats on offer at the airport

I didn't brought my music player at that day, so I didn't had the chance to test it.
but based on my friend's experience, he said the cups of M50 are quite stuffy.. so he prefer the DT 770 pro..

I think if you're going to pay up to like > 500 bucks, it's best to test out whether it suits your taste or not

yeap... so Im hoping the airport will have test unit of M50 out

mm yeah but i cant be bothered with an amp i guess, id rather have a composite all-in-one, even if those amps are small... if DT 770 is good i would take it, looks comfortable, just that reviews complain the sound is weak, while i didnt see that for M50

also it comes in so many different resistances, that means we just pick the lowest available? sometimes buying also inconvenient when theres product variation

i'm not sure about how does the sound quality differ from each variant but the ear pads of the 32 ohms and the 80 ohms are not the same (if I am not mistaken)
dt 770 pro are harder to drive for a portable device such as smartphone compared to the M50..
more ohms, harder to drive, less amplitude, weaker sound..
good luck on choosing them

if you dont mind me asking what airport sells headphones? would be interested to see xD

airport got shops what, always sell electronics ma

Singapore, Sydney, etc

I remember seeing a lot of headphones at SG airport but at the time looking for in ear monitors

oooh out of context

im sitting exams right now, so not really fussed to go outside to buy hphones

ordering my ipod by delivery but cant do that for hphones without trying cos it's bloody expensiv

Hey guys, between Denon C260 and Sony MDR-EX220LP, which sounds better? I prefer bass and mid. Both prices are very similar.

Hi guys, I'm considering to buy a new earbuds/earphone. I had a Koss Portapro headphone and i broke it in my bag, so I'm considering to buy something smaller and wont crush easily.

My budget is RM200 not including shipping fee and I can't go any higher. My genre of music is mostly bass heavy and I like bass emphasized earphone.

I'm considering Beyerdynamic XP1 it cost RM199 at Jaben, please recommend me if there is a better earphone and where can I get the best deal

I own the XP3 from Beyerdynamics and it's really good =)
but you really need to burn in for them..
if you don't mind burning in for 100hours ++, den it's really good for the price..
the clear edition (XP3) as quite good in the bass area as well as the treble (after burn in)..
it's better for a all rounder music type (IMO)
if u really love those deep down bass, get the XP1
hope this does answer your question..

Genre: Rock / Progressive Electro / Orchestra / Techno / Metal / Classical
Type of headphone: Over The Ear, Noise-Canceling

Hope you can present options that are noise-canceling and non noise-canceling. Note that bass is important to me.

Thanks in advance for your opinion
