hmm want ask what is best budget portable headphone for travel in KTM and LRT train

my rig: mainly HTC M7 phone (with poweramp player), or PC stock soundcard
usage: music on traveling , sometimes movies or gaming in late night or when someone drilling nearby, then i had to use headphone
file format: MP3.....
genre music: chinese classic like terresa teng, sometimes japanese enka songs, Kung Fu hustle OST sometimes, initial D those euro beat , kill la kill OST sometimes, anime J-pop....

headphone type: prefer light for travelling , also able to block most of the sounds from train so i can watch movie in train.

i was using in ear bud from sony one (can hang on ear that type) and for longer time of the usage it is somehow slip out from my ear, i also dont like to use stock ear bud from bluetooth tags/ phone because it can't hang on my ear.

i also own ATH Pro5V and it is very tight and the sponge is too small till many years endurance and finally i swap with shure's with larger sponge then problem solved, but still tight for cracking my skull lol.

budget i think maybe: 200-300 myr

using IEM (called in-ear bud from sony catalog ) for long time till the rubber come out oil already lol..
not really sure ATH brand nice or not for that

but what i want find is headphone because i don't want my ear get cucuk by IEM anymore XD

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


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.

ya SBH 20, the ear bud one is MDR-EX52
nah not really want IEM anymore since my ear got a lot wet ear wax (even i cleaned it, it will produce a lot when i put something in it) and wear it for long time it will push it away

go buy a new wrapper.
can detach one...

something like this

i got my from jaben... i replace with Shure's earpad on ATH pro5v because stock one is too small also out of stock, i change bigger one so can cover whole ear.

ya list your model number or just bring to there and let them see and ask and see what tehy have, maybe if you not like the stock one you maybe can get other size that solve your problem

for my case i used this ATH headphone the original pad is too small and because it is tight in same time, i can't wear it for hour and my ear will be very pain for long time usage...

here is how my headphone looks like and detach the sponge. so no need worry about that and just do it. (i used to be sceptical too and was thinking to buy a new one lol)

ah haha ATH pro5v2 i also got it like many years ago till the stock pad worn off the leather skin for long long time and i nearly want to get a new one XD

but that one only can be use in indoor since the wire is very heavy

hmmm ath im-50 is IEM, nah i don't want IEM

i'm not using it but i think it is like equalizer in music player... DAC is Direct to Analog Converter.
people using it not for their headphone only... more like for music.

pretty much like how you adjust your colour preference on your monitor so everyone have their own taste for music, some like more clarity, some more like bass, some more like mid tone bla bla bla you got it.

want ask some generic question, since i easy access with LRT and KTM, is midvalley radio shack is a good place for buying portable headphones? (and test)

or lowyat? or KLCC?

or buy via online? but online i cant test the headphone like how i bought my Pro5v and it is very tight

also generic brand like Sony is generally good for what range? philips? ATH? Senheiser ?

how about those steel series headphones?

what us that "bro E1?" shop name or forumer name??

i hear Jaben got in NU sentral, not sure got open already or not...
well that was where i went to with my friend's trip for getting a headphone, that time i bought my first spare part for the ear pad ..

already open the shop?

i still finding kaki to go with me to check got other option or not.. since my ear is not that good XD
by the way P30 the ear cup same size as ES7? ES7 cant cover whole ear for me

m50x cost like rm600++
but then M50x is portable headphone? looks nice...

i more mind on cable side hehe (short and thin maybe? since i using Pro5v there), other than that maybe lighter weight...

============

oh ya i hear there is ATH headphone got bluetooth option if you detach wire??
i hear from colleague today, he also not sure, he just said he saw a people using that in plane only...

i was reading the meaning sound stage of the headphone...

so IF sound stage is large, what will the genre of the headphone will be? if narrow sound stage??

EG: more bass? more mid? lesser noise isolation:??

ya that is what i read.
i mean if headphone properties is narrow sound stage, what characteristic it usually is?
if wide?

lets say like a "sport car, normally body is very low" those characteristic i want to know

owh , i ask that because i random surf around sales thread got 1 seller put the sound stage characteristic on headphone....

i know soundstage means... so back to question...

wide soundstage headphone normally is big ear cup? big driver? close can?
