Hey guys, I need help too.

my rig: smartphone & laptop
type of usage : music
file format used: mp3
genre of music: all genre and bass oriented, give me two choices, one normal and one for bass, because sometimes I like to listen to electronic music and let my ears get raped
earphone type: strictly IEM, would like to try headphone too if its good, but I've been an IEM user since forever, not sure if I'd like a headphone
budget: under 150. the most I've ever spent is 80-ish, now I would like to splurge more although its not much.

Thanks!!!

i'm sorry after tried out those almost high end IEM my sister decided to cancel her plan because the difference of sound quality between IEM and headphone is too big. the IEM only have 10% of the airy feel of over-ear headphones i guess...

Hi, just tried out the following in ear phones at hong kong Mingoheadphone
Shure 535 : the ear buds blocked too much area from the driver, the sound became bloated or weird, and weak bass
Shure 846 : Sounds good, but my sister says too hard to wear, which is very critical for her. Sounds close to my headphone, D2000 which is very good,even better detail than mine
Sennheiser IE800 : everything is good, sound is very smooth, bass is powerful and soundstage, instruments and details is good but the vocals are too backward, even with amplifier (music fidelity, forgot which model available in the shop), perhaps this is the downside of single driver IEM?
After listening to IE800, the IE80 became nothing, so definately won't choose that.
Anymore recommendations? sad.gif actually likes the IE800 sound but too vocal too backward. Gotta try more tomorrow, a lot of IEM available to try there, Fitear TG334 and westone (spelled like that? im not sure, just something like that)

Budget, prefer around RM2000, but able to pump more if the sound really good

Also tried the D600, the pads are soooooooooooo comfortable and thick, and the driver sounds similar, even a little bit more detailed when played with my note 3 too,not sure if amplified, i don't know why people say the new product lines of denons are bad and the driver of my D2000 already legendary.

For Shure 535 is weak bass? blink.gif I think u didnt really seal the IEM itself completely? as sealing is very critical for it to acquire the full bass quality of it. I can say that Shure SE535 is one of the one with tight basses in it. tongue.gif
Well thats not my point, just that, since your sis is willing to stretch your budget until so high, if you are looking for the airy and the tight sealing , Why dont go custom? Is a completely difference experience. You can hear NOTHING when you put your Customs iem on even without playing any music. tongue.gif You can only hear the total silence. Do have a look around for brands like JH Audio, Unique Melody, 1964, Noble Audio and many more tongue.gif Well i can say that the SQ of Customs can win over quite many high ends headphone. cool2.gif

she doesn't like those weird shapes and weird colors doh.gif anyway she got tired after sennheiser IE800 didn't satisfy her. Actually what i mean weak bass is not enough texture on the following frequency blush.gif I didn't know there are so much difference between IEM and overhead headphones too. She says she rather spend those money on speakers

Aww~custom is not about the weird shape~the shape is actually the shape of her ears. She should look at those ppl that put the custom on, all u can c is a lush flush faceplate at the ears. biggrin.gif and given this is custom, she can actually choose her favourite color. Or maybe texture like carbon fibre, glitter, wooden etc. Haha...so sad that ur sis dont like it , no choice den. It stills comes back personal preferences smile.gif...
Ah den maybe i misunderstood ur meaning smile.gif anyway good luck on hunting your audio equipment biggrin.gif

Try checking out the Jaben website once in a while, they have good deals biggrin.gif

This is one good deal if you want an IEM, http://jaben.com.my/shopping2/Audio-Techni...o-E3-Amplifier/ (note* not sure how long the deal will be up)

And if you go to the home page of the online shopping page, you might see there's a promotion for members. 50rm for annum membership card. And there's a promotion for Berydynamic DTX 510 P
I think that on ear headphone will be worth your budget.

Sorry headphone noob here. Not sure whether it is alright to ask this question here.

I have recently purchased a ATH-M50, and accidentally ran it on full volume with UD110 USB DAC without any amp for about 5 seconds (luckily i wasn't wearing the headphone). Will the headphone be damaged? The headphone sounds fine though after that. So far no distortion. Sorry for the noob question.

Agree. Go for CAL instead of M30. I owned a M30 previously. The sound is very much focus on mid, lack of bass and the treble part, though the sound is comfortable, but you can have much better choice at this price range.

Just listen to the headphone then you will know whether it is spoilt. lol biggrin.gif
Since you checked, no distortion nothing, then should be fine.
For new headphone, burn in using half of the normal volume that you listen to then slowly increase it over 3-4 days.

For bass head, I am not so sure, but can take a look at vsonic gr06. Good punch and good details at this price range.
