the M50 are quite good, but mids are recessed and a little bump in the bass region, however the sound is still quite smooth but highs might be a bit piercing for some people, pads are not really comfortable at least for me
for the price it's really a good deal, change a pair of pads and you're good to go

thx for the info

If wanna change the pad, what pad we should change into?

Not sure though, read online people saying they changed into shure 840 pads, I currently have 840 pads on my superlux 668b, and I can say it's very comfortable, just add a bit of tissue paper underneath the pads to make it thicker so your ears wouldn't touch the inside of the cups

Not sure the HM5 pads would fit or not, but i'm getting a pair for my HFI-580, should be more comfortable than the stock pads on them

Do u enjoy big bass? if so can consider the Razer Electra, bassy which are good for gaming if that's your thing, but if u listen to music more, for that budget I would recommend the Superlux 668B

thanks. hoping for more recommendation from others.

putin approves K271

Erm...It's quite difficult to definte what is "balance". haha.
In my opinion, Most of the Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic...etc headphone are balance sound. They just use different ways to show it.
Many sound enginners use them as a monitoring headphone too.

Besides, the sound signature of headphone will influence by whole hifi/headfi system. Even the quality of electrical source will influence the sound. For example, HD800 will sound very weird and unbalance if you connect it with a cell phone.

Actually most of the sound signature of computer or mobile phone are very "unbalance". It's quite difficult to find a balance, neutral, accurate sound if you use them as a music source.

I've compare K271, MDR-1r and K550 at the same time. Music source is Fiio X3 and Sony PCM-D50.
I don't like K550. The connection between treble, mid and bass is not natural enough. Treble and bass are not bad, and I feel that the mid is very empty, like there is a big hole between treble and bass. haha.
MDR-1r is better than K550, the connection between treble and bass is smoother. If you dun't have an amp, I think MDR-1R is already good enough. It's quite easier to drive.
But compare to K271, I feel MDR-1R is not clear enough. Treble is a little bit blur. The sound of K271 is very clear and refined. I love the sweet treble and mid. Bass is not more than Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic, but more than K6XX/K7xx series. Considering it is a close-back headhone, its sound stage is very wide, but still can't compare to HD600/HD650, K612/712 or Beyer 880/990...

ofcourse, it depends on what you're listening with but you estimate what it should sound like a bit

Your rig = PC
- What type of usage = Game, Music, Movie
- File format used in your source = Anything
- Genre of music you listen to = Kpop, Jpop
- Headphone/ earphone type = earphone (prefer the ones where its just stuck to the ear like traditional ones. Currently own a ss siberia v2 but sometimes its just too bulky
- Other requirements = White colour! ( not really necessary but prefer tho)
- Budget = Below RM200

Can consider Superlux HD681 evo or HD661.
The former has more bass, the latter has sweeter and brighter treble.

>< sry. i think i didnt make myself clear enough. what im looking for is something like those headphones for hand phones

Koss ksc75 or Koss portapro for more bass

Hi my friend is looking for a super comfortable headphone for watching anime and some average things only. He is not very enthusiastic so don't need those heavy bass, surround sound etc etc. Budget around RM500, more expensive one can be considered, but must be comfortable enough, probably using for long hours. Sound quality must be good also. Thanks in advance

If your friend have an amp, can consider AKG K271, K240s, Beyer DT770.
Without amp, can consider Sony MDR-1R, AKG K550, ATH M50.
