Budget: Below RM20
I know this budget doesn't do much, just want a general cheap china earphones to gift my friends.
Any idea which earphones fit my budget?

just get any earphone from any hp, they will have one inside. should do the trick

go to carrefour or tesco and pick one there

i bought a cheap rm20 phillip branded at carrefour cheras 7 years ago

but for gift, u can go to plaza lowyat and ask those laptop store that u want to purchase those "free gift" earphones that come with the laptop. have some funny designs like medicine pills and stuffs, better for gifts i guess. should be able to get them from rm15 to rm20

- Your rig -- iPhone 4s
- What type of usage -- Strictly Music
- File format used in your source -- 192-320kbps MP3,m4a
- Genre of music you listen to -- Random,mostly pop
- Headphone/ earphone type -- IEM only
- Other requirements -- Warm sound with "thumping" bass not " boom boom" bass like beats which ruins the vocal,if can need comfort also but not so necessary as long as it stays in my ear

Budgets -- around RM100,stretchable to RM150

Currently using stock IEM come with galaxy s3 which surprised me a little with a stock earphone,sounds warm,just the vocal is not forward,also owning Sony MDR-ZX600 which for me sounds "dry"

So any recommendation ?

try some meelectronics, they are okay, or maybe fischer audio

SoundMAGIC E10

Well, AD700 is an open air headphone, meaning the back of the headphone lets air in for for more natural sounds. (not sure if this is the right way to explain though, hahah) and open air headphones are like mini speakers. then send as much sound outside, as they let you hear.

currently i'm using ATH PRO5MK2 and the noise leakage is very low. sure in a quiet room, on full volume when i wear it, others can hear a bit. but on 60~80% volume almost no sound is leaked. since i haven't tested out a lot of products, i'll only say that what i have (for 310rm) is worth the money.


edit: you might want to check out ATH M30 and M35.

do u know where i can get the SoundMAGIC E10 in Malaysia ?...

Guys....I need suggestion!

- Your rig : Laptop and smartphone
- What type of usage : Music, gaming, video
- File format used in your source : All types
- Genre of music you listen to : All types
- Budget : Not more than Rm150
- Headphone/ earphone type : closed back
- Other requirements : durable, comfortable for hours of listening and good/rich bass

i would suggest u with the superlux HD669

Thanks for replying me...
Previously i was thinking to grab Audio technica m20 or tad300...
Can you make comparison between superlux HD669, m20 and tad300?

i never listened to the m20 or the tad300 so i can't give a honest opinion , but i own the superlux hd669 , hd668b and the audio technica ath-t500..so i can tell u about those..the hd669 for me is a decent headphone, it's certainly durable but the comfort is not so much , the pad will get your ear sweating and the grip will crush your skull..but u will get used to it after a while..the sound is good on the hd669 it's clear and the is bass good for the price tag, the noise isolation also good on the hd 669, i would recommend this if u want a close back headphone with cheap price tag ..or if u want a all rounder headphone u can get the superlux hd668b or the HD681 EVO. but those are semi open...if u want something better u can get the audio technica ath-t500 that sell around rm200-rm215

Noted with thanks!

Hi thanks for the suggestions, will look into it.

Guys, any recommendation for an IEM with the budget of <RM400 ?
Currently the Final Audio Design Adagio 3 caught my attention.
Am looking more on instrumental music rather then vocals. Sound stage is important. Am using a MSPro as my current headset for reference
Not planning to throw too much into this IEM as im more to a Headphone guy but I need an IEM for travelling.

you are using MS Pro but want to buy IEM <RM400? its a tough thing to do.. i will definitely recommend Hifiman RE-400. i think thats the best in this price range

hi all sifus,

im looking for a new earphone. IEM preferred. budget <RM300
if can, i also prefer if the earphone can be used to receive/cancel call as i will be using it on Nexus5

currently using free Beats given by HTC One V during their joint-partnership

btw, the music i normally listen to range from oldies, countries to symphonic metal/rock


- Your rig (Google Nexus5)
- What type of usage (music mostly. very rarely movies)
- File format used in your source (flac, mp3, wmv)
- Genre of music you listen to (range from oldies, countries to symphonic metal/rock)
- Headphone/ earphone type (IEM)
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, call accept/cancel button)
