QUOTE(grenghbok2 @ Aug 26 2013, 11:33 PM) Your rig: laptop, ipod, iphone Type of usage: music, movie Format: mp3, mp4 Genre: bass, pop, rock, ballad and acoustic Type of headphone: on ear headphones Budget: RM300-RM350 Other requirement: preferably with volume amd track controls (though not necessary) You can try Sennheiser PX-100II and AKG K420. Both have the signature and functionality you are looking at. QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Aug 27 2013, 01:08 AM) Really no idea to get what. Seems like step up from FA-003 to Beyer COP not really worth it.  Technically in term of price comparison, it is not really an upgrade. However if you look at another way, do you like the signature of COP? Is the bass adjustable feature attracts you? What is the lacking part of FA003, is it the bass that you can compensate from COP?

What is the lacking part of FA003, is it the bass that you can compensate from COP? I love your answer. Helping me in dilemma. Hehe... I just love the sound, sound good to my ear. But that time during testing, it's different setup so it's unfair to compare directly to my FA-003. My FA-003 serve me well, and the bass good enough for me so I don't expect super bass. Maybe I should get amp or better DAC, amp or DAC cum amp? Tested Yulong U100, really improve the performance. But thinking of testing DACport and see how far the sound will go. I guess, I won't be getting COP for now because I might not satisfied and then spend more for another headphone. Been thinking DT 880 Pro with DACPort Jaben combo. But it's open. Well, can't judge until test the headphone right? Maybe the T 70 P? But they need to be amped right? I'm looking for something portable, foldable.

What do you mean demanding? BTW, if I drive T 70 P with amp, I wonder if it's the same quality with T 70 amped? Lower impedance known for issue for maxing the volume. But again, who will max the volume.

QUOTE(balat @ Aug 27 2013, 02:39 AM) I have been searching too since I got into this hobby, unfortunately found none. If you like the KSC-75, I am afraid you may not like warmer headphone, probably you want something with much bigger sound stage and better instrument separation while maintaining exactly similar signature. Don't get me wrong, IMO there are many better headphones out there with higher price tag of course, but in the end I keep coming back to my KSC-75, its just me I guess. It's a special phone indeed but still miles away from being the best, very fun to listen to, and to me, the vocals are perfectly positioned and I don't find the treble offensive at all as claimed by others. I have no issue with Grado brightness, so I have no problem whatsoever listening to KSC-75 for hours. To be honest, within your budget, you can already go for high end or even flagship headphone. I would suggest you to try and demo Beyer T1 (over your budget, its priced above RM3k). I don't think you can go wrong with that, but there is no guarantee you're going to love it either  Other recommendations: 1. Goldring DR150 (strongly recommended by HeadFi folks) 2. Alessandro MS1i, Alessandro MS2i - had this but I didn't enjoy it as much as I do with my KSC-75, weird right? Demo them first. Cheers. I thank you for your feedback, yes tat KSC75 got something special to it. I did get recommendation of Grado/Alessandro from Walabies or Yuheng i forget but the thing is i always read that this 2 brand is on the bright sparkly side. I listen to a lot of female vocal and i dislike sibilance which is very prone for female voice (Sarah Brightman is too bright for me tho i do listen time to time) The thing is, i dun feel that KSC75 is bright, i found it weird it is consider bright. I guess i need to audit before i commit to any headphone. My most prefered sound signature would be Dynaudio speakers describes as neutral with some warmth. I am still searching for the headphone which can be similar to it. However i am noob when come to headphone as i have only audit less than 5 type headphone and all below rm600 range.

Hey guys , I'm currently using the Beyerdynamics XP3 . What's a good option for an upgrade to the XP3 overall within the RM300+/- budget , or if topup RM50-RM100 can get something more worth it I'll probably go with it , thanks

Sennheiser Momentum sangat sexy! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201755960729991Slow poke. Hehe... Thinking of getting this. Hopefully got audit unit. Really interested with T70P, but not really practical for portable due to the large size.
