Hei guys need some advice on buying earbuds for my cous's girlfriend on her birthday. Budget is RM200 max and below. I am very inexperience in budget purchases, as i am normally more acquainted with higher end purchases, but no offence. The only thing that comes to mind is the xiaomi piston and RE400 (2nd hand), are there any bang-for-buck more options here? I don't think sound signature is a problem, as i don't think she's looking to be an audiophile. Anything decent will be fine, as long as no boom boom earbuds that bleed into the mids. Please enlighten me Sifus out there

Haha i am an freak audiophile myself, philosophically and sentimentally my conscious wont let me do that I think everyone deserve a chance to enjoy good music too

Yeah Sennheiser FTW

For girl just go for some AT with great design or Beats, they don't really care on the sound

I feel you bro! everytime see-ing my friend/family using those @@ earphone/headphone and saying they enjoy the music, I just feel like directly lend them my setup for them to listen awhile ...

@chabuchabu Thks for backing me up, yes i feel head-fi need better recognition although i do see much more sony budget headphones nowadays in LRTs (although i haven't really tried them). But i think this might be the right step. Just relieved my first actual headphones is the HD598 and not beats And no looking back after that, but my purse do look back alot haha

Anyway back to topic , anyone experienced with good earbuds under 200?

Hi audiophiles sifus, need your recommendations:

Rigs: Pioneer DDJ SR
Usage: DJ-ing purpose & listening to music
File format: mp3
Genre of music: EDM
Headphones: Noise Canceling Headphones / Closed Back Headphone
Budget: RM300 - RM400

I think the Xiaomi piston is really good and cheap. Not to tell it has a good looking as well.

I did some quick search for reviews and since its price reasonably bought it on the whim, not too much harm done, i guess Bought one for office use, one for the birthday gift
....

No worries bro, really good bang for bucks.
You will certainly be surprised for the performance it delivers at that price

Hadn't had much experience with IEM/earbuds. the only experience i had was Phonak 232 (very good balanced, my favorite so far), and FAD piano VIII ( piece of crap, i wonder how they can sell it at the initial USD 1,000 price, no offence to FAD lovers out there). But the pistons for me is just for general use to block out office squabbling and gossiping LOL. If its better than I-buds or beats earphones why not?

sorry to say xiaomi noise isolation is poor agreed with u on phonak, best experience, smoothest, the high is so smooth and not piercing. too bad discontinued.

Tell us more about what you need, then we can help you out.
Refer to the first post~

If you want something that has similar sound signature to EPH 100, you could try ATH IM50 and IM70.
Of you could try ATH IM01 - single BA driver

How about something better than the Yamaha EPH 100 (Curious to know,as i was using yamaha as well)? XD So far i only know fostex TE-05.
