Hi all Gurus,

I am looking for overhead earphone, narrowing down to 2 models which are Audio Technica AD700 and Goldring DR 150. Below are my current usage model, would like to know which one is the better choice.

- Your rig (PC with Xfi Sound card, sometimes on Lumia 920)
- What type of usage (Gaming 60%, Movie 20%, music 20%)
- File format used in your source (MP3)
- Genre of music you listen to (classical, soft, gentle type)
- Headphone/ earphone type (open)
- Other requirements (Must be comfortable as i have big ears.)


*For Goldring DR150, not sure if i can have the setup as below:
PC -> Original cable -> hippo cricri+ -> vero 150 -> DR150
I need the long cable (3m) as my PC is quite far from the earphone, while Vero 150 is not long enough.

should be

PC -> your typical USB cable -> hippoc cricri+ -> DrVero 150 (DR 150 + vero = DrVero 150)
in this way you can use the dac together with amp

i would recommend AD700 anytime, DrVero 150 is just plain undesirable IMO, and i had one, couldn't sell it off till now, I was the early adopter batch

hmm...How do i output sound to USB?
As far as i understand Creative SC only output to 3.5mm jack....


Well.... The AD700 design definitely pawns Goldring DR150...

erm you plug the usb to pc and the other end to the cricri+

unless you are saying cricri withoout the plus symbol

throw away that creative SC garbage, it's not up to par and overpriced

I see...So basically my Creative sound card will be useless this way...

In term of Sound quality, how are the AD700 vs DrVero 150? Sorry i am noob in audiophile...

AD700 has a better bass and a deeper mid, with more body to the overall sound, DrVero 150.. meh..

I see....
But seems like many people complain about low bass of AD series, havent got chance to test one though...

deep low bass, not many can achieve that, of all that i had, only custom one pro, my custom iem and dt770 can reach it, others just cant hit the notes

AD is open back series, so bass id certainly weaker than closed can

- Your rig (pc, smartphone)
- What type of usage (music)
- File format used in your source (flac,mp3)
- Genre of music you listen to (all type of music)
- Headphone/ earphone type (earbud and IEM)
- Other requirements (comfort to my ear)

p/s: rm 100 for each earbud and IEM , like balance for both bass and clearity..please suggest me a good entry earbud and IEM

Try Hippo Pearl, or maybe some entry level Audio Technica, such as CLR100

recommend me one plss..mainly use for ipod and pc

Give us more info so that we can recommend you better:

im a loyal Sennheiser from hd202 to hd4xx series. but now looking for a wireless one.
Sennheiser wireless ones cost abit too sakit for me

Beyerdynamic XP3 (clear edition), Nuforce 650M, Hippo Pearl, or any other choices with limited budget around RM200

which one will sifu recommend? Finding one for clarity listening pleasure, main device is iPhone and MacBook as primary player. Source file is FLAC and MP3.

Thanks !! :salute:

hi can u guys recommend me headphone below 500??i need clarity and punch bass..closed headphone..give me a few choice so i can make a comparison..last time i use sendheiser hd555..i want a better and closed headphone cuz i dont the sound to be heard outside..
listen to all music..thats allthx guy

Clarity? Feels Pro 900 for balanced amature and maybe something like... UE500 or XP3 for clarity...

Sorry bro, i dont have too much experience on headphone... more into iem recently... haha

Yes i am referring to that one. Cause is so cheap.
I admit that beats is the lowest qualiy among all branded earphone. Considering that price tag I dont think any other earphone can on par with it. Is the price i'm attracted to.
