I asked the same question. It's actually possible to get around 200! biggrin.gif

Check CDJapan website for IM50, maybe available at your budget under rm300

Hi guys, I really need help in choosing a headphone here. Currently I'm using beats solo hd but decided to get a new pair.

I've tried some demo units such as:
Audio technica m50x (don't really like it, I think the bass is not enough for me)
V moda m80 (comfortable, good sound quality, bass is still slightly lacking. Maybe adding an amp might solve the problem? hmm.gif )
Sennheiser momentum on ear (SQ is almost the same as v moda m80 with punchier bass that I love biggrin.gif but due to the comfortability I'm having doubts now. The ear pads makes my ears kinda hot after wearing it for quite awhile sad.gif)

Therefore, any recommendations besides those that I have tested?

- Your rig : IPhone 5s
- What type of usage: music (mainly), gaming
- File format used in your source: mp3 (320kbps) & flac
- Genre of music you listen to : remix (avicii, Calvin Harris, etc), pop vocal (il divo), r&b, soft rock, soundtracks
- Headphone/ earphone type: over ear or on ear (as long it is comfortable and not too big)
- Budget : < RM750, the cheaper the better la  smile.gif 

Thanks!

Hmmm... Have you tried the Beyerdynamic custom one pro?

Display sets are usually sold for lower price, with much less warranty.
Like: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2632809/all
Or you can even go for second hand if you could find~

Can someone recommend me cheap IEM for my phone? Budget less than 50. Just need something that lasts.

Hmmm. This is quite tough.
Monoprice IEMs should be good for you~ smile.gif
Monoprice 8320, 9927, 9960 and 9963
This is if you manage to buy it. sad.gif

where can i buy the ATH - IM50?

compare ath IM 50 to vsonic gr07 classic, which is more worth it?

thanks
*
A few (or a lot) of members here do sell the IM-50
I got mine from cdjapan.co.jp with a couple of other stuff though.
Unfortunately never tried the gr07 so I can't say which is better. But it probably depends on your tastes of music.
IM-50 sounds really good on vocals and guitar solos. Not enough bass for bassheads though. Highs are a bit recessed some/most of the time (highs I compared with M50x)
My opinion might be different from others though. smile.gif

Hmmmm... You can actually get a budget DAC and headphone, it should be better than using your decktop sound card.

dang.. hmm.. its hard to decide.. becos my housing area is near to highway and i aint have the luxury to be enclosed 24/7 lol.. CAL! is doing fine, but when travelling, it is really bad.. i might leaning towards COP, as i see it is a versatile HP. with the vmoda boom, can use for comm.. i used dt231pro before.. i am happy with it before i moved to CAL!, love the extra details in bass CAL! gave me.. now looking for something better biggrin.gif

perhaps i should travel with a ANC headphone lol..
*
For ANC headphones, ATH QuietPoint headphones are good. Actually reduces the background sound unlike the much advertised Beats executive.
I don't think I have to mention but Bose QuietComfort should definitely be on the list to check out as well biggrin.gif

Getting myself a new headphone mainly for gaming purposes prefer something that immerses me into the game (eg. Battlefield 4 intro gunfire battle) and also into music and listened like they were meant to be listened to.

Mostly going to use this on my new upcoming Alienware 17 so any thing that takes full advantage of the soundcard it comes with but nothing too overkill.

Budget around 1k+ dont mind to top up abit to get that extra boost in immersion biggrin.gif

Open to suggestion thanks sifu's biggrin.gif

Initially took a look at Jaben's store so many to choose from so I figured I'd ask here smile.gif
*
Hmm...
ATH M50x and Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro from what I've tested.
If you can squeeze a bit more for a DAC/amp it would be better as well, since sound card won't do much in improving SQ hmm.gif
I would recommend the Tiamat 7.1 for gaming, but for music, can't keep up with headphones even a fraction of its price. (Even Tiamat 2.2 was much more pleasant for music)

Need an opinion of those who tried Pro5Mk2 and M20x
Which one do you prefer for rock/jazz music?

Would be used on Samsung S2, Nexus 4 and laptop.
Thanks in advance!

Ok know how I can get the V-moda? look like jaben not offering it.

I tested them at a few shops, one at klcc and one at pavillion. The one at klcc is right next to Sony if I remember.
If you're willing to spend 1k+ on a headphone, best advice would be don't buy something you haven't tested yourself.

Ok…previously i have post in thread, seeking for advice but nobody reply me. =( Hope that this time all sifus can help me out…

Your rig: Laptop, Phone, Tablet
- Usage: Music, Gaming, movie, beginner DJ...
- File format used in your source: mp3, wma
- Genre of music you listen to: Beatbox (mainly), pop, jazz, classical, hip hop, house, electro, dubstep, soundtrack...
- Headphone/earphone type: Closed back headphones
- Other requirements: long hours of hearing and won't harm my ears, feel comfortable, foldable (not necessary), prefer bass and treble
- Budget: RM150 (need to stretch more?)

I have done some research and read some review (mostly about audio technica and superlux) on the internet…  There are a few questions i really want to know.
1. Have anyone try Superlux HD531? I can't find review even sellers online…
2. And how about Audio Technica ATH-S300? Is it good compare to ATH-M50? I wish to buy a pair of ATH-M50, but it is out of my budget…so i hope to find a pair of headphones close to its standrad.
3. About Superflux HD681 evo. Does it leak a lot of sound when i listen to music? Because mostly i will listen music in library.
4. Last question. Does Superflux HD661 sounds good? Some of the review said that it sounds bad compare to its brother… Hope to get some opinion from the current or ex users.
Hope that all sifus here can leave comment…Thanks in advance =)
*
For your usage/needs and genre of music.... Audio Technica ATH Pro5Mk2 fits really good. But it is over your budget by a bit.
Really comfortable for long usage, I've worn them on for whole nights without taking em off.

Help me guys, which do you prefer the audio technica m50x or the Senheiser Momentum on ear. Since the price range is the same. Or any product that is good for its money. I'm buying it just for listening to music, movie and some video gaming.
*
Different people will have different opinions on this. Both are excellent for music, never tried with movies or games though. It's actually personal preference. You should decide after you test them both~ nod.gif

Need recommendation guys. Budget ~300. Looking at the M35x for now. Studio use. Are there any shops with auditioning available in lowyat plaza?
*
If can get M30x for rm300, perfect for monitoring use. biggrin.gif But sorry to say I've never heard of ATH M35x rclxms.gif Theres only ATH M35
If you can top up a bit more, try going for M40x. Detachable cable and flat sound response should be much better for monitoring.

For more recommendations, Shure SRH240 (SRH440 if you can afford) and Beyerdynamic DT231pro. If you're talking about DJ monitoring, I would say ATH PRO5Mk2 and Shure SRH550~

QUOTE(joshuachew @ May 11 2014, 11:53 AM)
Monitoring as in real monitoring in front of a mixer? and Shure SRH550~

M50 would be cool. Or the Shure SRH940.
And yes. E1 carries them both.
*
Both of those would be really good for monitoring, but could never fit that budget hmm.gif

Need some recommendation pls

- Your rig PC only, Creative X-Fi Titanium card
- What type of usage Gaming, Music, and Movies
- File format used in your source FLAC
- Genre of music you listen to Many types of Rock music
- Headphone/ earphone type Open or Close or Circumaural is fine, just no IEM
- Budget Max RM400

- Other requirements (if any)
My head size is bigger than average, so prefer at least can wear tilting to the back, if cannot fit wearing straight up.
My old Sennheiser PX 100 I have to wear it tilt to the back, but it feels uncomfortable after long time

Thanks notworthy.gif

Alessandro MS1i sounds good on rock music. Should sound good for movies as well, but not sure how it will do for games hmm.gif

my one is this, bought since ipod touch 2nd gen era. (exclude the bluetooth dongle )
[attachmentid=3970403]

by the way overear headphone for travel is good? rm 300 is not enough budget?
i have been thinking if pay so much for light weight travel headphone that expensive more than ATHpro5v that i paid for rm 270 that time.... it is feeling like paying a rm4k gaming laptop while my rm 2.7k desktop still can perform better than that. unsure.gif
*
I've haven't tried a lot of over ear headphones..... I'm currently using ATH pro5mk2, which I initially bought for travel use. On hot days I don't feel like wearing it out (gets heated up quite fast, and still using stock pads..) so I got ATH IM-50 for 2/3 of the headphone price but it feels like the sound quality is a bit better in some ways. IM 50 has a punchy bass and yet clear vocals. Highs are also good, but sometimes feels recessed or overpowered by the mids and the lows/bass. But this is perfect for anime OSTs rclxms.gif
Try out Beck soundtracks as well brows.gif

Fits your budget and you can get a set of comply tips, im50 comes with one pair though. 3 pairs (tips) for 50rm + 250rm for the IEM~

Sorry for extra post
300~400 RM

- Your rig: Phone/Laptop/ipod
- What type of usage: Music
- File format used in your source MP3:
- Genre of music you listen to: dubstep/jazz/classical for study
- Headphone/ earphone type: IEM or closed back headphone (something withnoise isolation)
I was looking at the ATH IM50 and that looks really nice and I think I can easily find one in a retail store in sungai wang. Should I go for that one or do you guys have any other recommendations at around this price range(300~400 RM)? Can you recommend one that I can find in sungai wang, it's very close by to where I live and is easy to ask them.
edit:thank you liquidgal for previous recommendation

ATH IM50 definitely good. But with your budget, if you can push till ATH IM70 it'll be worth it biggrin.gif
