it is tricky at first because I didn't know which side it's left and which side is right. But once you get used to it you just simple plug it inside your ear and pull the cable over your ear. I often need to take them out and put them in again because the noise isolation it's too good. It's not rocket science. It's just a matter of whether you are used to it.

This is also the most comfortable earphones I have ever used because of the olive tips. I personally never like silicone and comply tips.

Shure or Westone should fit your purposes. I use my se215 when playing basketball

I bought at tong lee in plaza lowyat. The shop assistant there were very friendly and let me to audition the a-jays series and se215 before I buy the se215. But maybe it was because I was a staff of thunder match that time haha.

If you buy se215, don't buy the clear version though because the cable becomes yellowish and greenish after few months. Get the blue version.

Se215 was my only earphone so I used them everywhere. I use them in library because they isolate well and never leak sound. That being said, you don't want to use that when you are working because your boss would be pissed off to have to slap you to get you to respond everytime.

Se215 blue is only 398 in jaben Malaysia. I advice you to buy directly from jaben as they provides 2 years warranty (I believe) and also avoid any surprise cost like customs duty. Jaben also has a lot of earphone for your selection. Most of the iem are available there if not all.

I personally use b&w c5 now. Although I mentioned that I never like the silicone tips but this c5 distribute its weight to the ear loop so it is very comfortable for me to wear. Be warned the ear loop is not for everyone. Personally I recommend the c5 to you if the comfort is no issue for you because it's sound signature is very similar to the se215 except it has much more details and way wider soundstage. I take it as its advantage rather than its disadvantage that it does not isolate that well compared to the se215. I still can listen to my environment while wearing c5.

And yes I know c5 is expensive and you could buy a BA iem for that price. I owned se535 before because I loved my se215 but the BA sound signature is just not for me.

siberia elite, coming soon opened for pre-order

i know, but i cant get over that led light XD

if it comes in original packaging, you will have 3 cables. 1 normal cable, 1 ios cable and 1 universal cable for android, blackberry, windows etc.

Hd650 is too dark for my preference and the headband eats my hair!!!!!

se215 has a forward mid and recessed high, bass is thumping. so it has a total sound signature compared to m50. m50 has better soundstage and clarity. everything is also balanced with slightly boosted bass.

worth

I sincerely recommend B&W C5

you meant hd600? if hd700 rm1800, that is definitely a steal! the avrg price for hd700 is rm3500 bro

Well, it depends on your purpose. If you use it with your phone or mp3 player, then dt1350 is a fine choice. HD700 might be cheap, but you need a good amp to drive it and it's open back as well, so it means it does not fit for portable use, not to mention its 3m long cable.

I bought akg q701 and now I am happy with it, I don't feel the need to upgrade anymore for several years. for portable use, i have sennheiser momentum on ear, ath-m50 and shure se215 (and some others).

it's hard to justify which headphone is the best because it all depends on our ears. if you are happy with the sound, then stick to it. i once thought the freebie earphones sound good. haha

and it's true, i keep on buying headphones because i am now living in the UK, the headphones here are so cheap so i just buy them and bring them back to malaysia after i graduate. i dont think i will spend that much money on headphones when i am back.

i plan to get a pair of amperior as well. it's hard to think why it is now so cheap considering its low impedance, mic cable and lastly, discontinued. it just doesn't make sense.

m50 worth the price but many says hd380pro is much better for the price. having the m50 myself i say it's good but i hate the bulky coiled wire.

im not saying buying amperior is a bad decision as i am also considering to get it. what i dont understand is why is it so cheap after it is discontinued? it should be a rare item, right?

i am willing to do so because as i have alliance bank account in malaysia. but the postage risk is on the buyer lo, and also you need to consider there might be duty imposed by the customs if you are unlucky.

you mean the hd25 aluminium? but as i said, it's different than the amperior because amperior has mic and lower impedance.

well, i will only stay in the uk until august next year so.. you know what to do

i dont like momentum because it is too laid back for me. i have the momentum on ear. everything is great on it except that the mid is too recessed. so, m50 is my current choice for portable use.

dilemma between fad heaven ii and ath-im70

both at a similar price but which one should i choose? i mostly listen to female vocals.

bought harman kardon cl instead. got a nice deal. RM400 only

bro, u really sell heaven iv for rm500?

I have a question, how come ue900's price dropped so much but then se535 and westone 4r price stays the same?
