Hi Hi, seeking advices on headphone
Budget: around RM80~RM120
- My rig : Laptop
- What type of usage: Music and mostly gaming
- File format used in your source:
- Genre of music you listen to:
- Headphone/ earphone type: anything except IEM and can fully cover my ear comfortably
Other requirements: with mic....

ATH M50 vs Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro?

I think I might be able to get the COP for RM600.
Not sure how much for the ATH M50.

Uses: Laptop and Ipod nano 7

Music: most genres including top 40, dance, pop, alternative, sometimes softer folk stuff or Asian music

Also sometimes for TV or Movies, but I have Harman Kardon Sounsticks ii for that, or big music listening. Bass from that thing is not a problem, the headphones are for blocking out sound (annoying neighbours etc) and still being able to listen to any kind of music comfortably and clearly.

COP has variable bass port, so you can set bass and clarity level for each usage, much more flexible than fixed sound M50

I hate that shipping is gonna take ages and I can't get it now (

but then think of these as factors:
1. customise look
2. can add microphone by changing cable only
3. change sound by adjusting port
4. changing earpads easily

that's true, but maybe if you lived in Europe or the US

ordering the accessory plates or earpads from outside America or Europe can cost well over US$30 for just one!

in fact, neither the ATH M50 or the Beyer COP look particularly aesthetic or good to me

the AKG K271 MKII looks better, then the M50, then COP

COP without customs looks crap but the other things matter more after all good looking things like your speakers laptop ipod iphone they get old easily

How about without amp for the next 6 months ... I'm go all out this time ... no moneh for a number of months

Can it still perform?

Won't be optimal though, got any DAC or amp in mind?

it is like having a flashy sets of 22" wheels on a chilli hot ferrari but only have a 660cc kancil engine driving it you will hear sound but it wouldn't sing

so, the sounds is no good without amp ... i thought it can work like A2000X or W1000X, without amp .. they output still can be acceptable ... look like need to fork out more money

Tq for the feedback

For bass, try the Sennheiser HD202 and audio technica fc707.

My vote will go for Custom One Pro, personally own it and the bass level is damn strong.



Steel series can be a good option to start with.

My recommendation will be Shure SE215 and Hippo ProOne

It is huge different, however W5000 require expensive amplifier, why not consider the W3000ANV.

You can try audio technica T200.

Maybe you can get from Jaben? It is faster and less hassle for warranty claim.

Your rig (iPhone 4, Windows laptop, Bold 5 )
- What type of usage - For music
- File format used in your source - AAC Audio File, mp3
- Genre of music you listen to - RnB, Pop and Rock, Heavy Bass and Trance Club.
- Headphone/ earphone type - In ear earphones, or Headphones. Prefer in-ear and noise cancelling
- Price range : < RM 100 - 200

hi everyone just wanna ask for your recommendation. i have beats tour and klipsch s4 but if would be better if guys can give me so good earphones. thanks.

My Rig: Desktop PC
Type of usage: Voice chat(Skype & Hangouts)
Budget: RM100-200
Type: Headphone
Other requirements (if any): Prefer wireless. wired is OK as long as the cord is more than 3meter without extension.

I've tried few unknown brand headset but the mic was really lousy.

Expensive

I can buy ATH M50 for ~RM500 and Beyer COP for ~RM600, I am almost certain it costs several hundred more from them.

W5000 is much cheaper than W3000ANV ...

Tq

i think if you insist on the w5000, just go ahead
its better to go for end game headphone rather than upgrading step by step
but not everyone like how the w5000 sounds
the w3000anv on the other hand is a little easier to drive

headphone is one thing, think of the cost for amplification while at it, it will give you headaches for years to come

i think the yamamoto ha-02 is able to drive them quite desirably
