I did research online. Audio Technica ATH-M50 is the best headphone below $200.. I might stretch my budget even further if it's that good

Your rig -iPhone 4, Lenovo Y500
- What type of usage : Strictly Music
- File format used in your source = MP3
- Genre of music you listen to = Pop, Acoustic, Vocal, Instrumental, R&B, Hip-hop. NO ROCK
- Headphone/ earphone type = circumaural, closed back, over the ear

- Other requirements = For this im looking for something that is stylish (street feel), portable and still deliver good sound quality. I've look into Audio Technica ATH-M50 and Shure SRH840. They are both great sounding headphones but studio hp lack of the stylish appearance i want and not really good for portable usage so i gave them a pass. I don't want sound quality like Beats even they looked good. Will be using it a lot on street walking, class, travel. Not too bulky and comfortable on ear for long hour music

Budget: RM600<

Shure is good but i dont like the look of it. Not into endorsed headphones since they sell base on look without much quality anyway

Now considering Logitech UE6000- RM520. Good review, quite good look also

Cannot find HiFi Man reseller at Garage sales. Still leaning more to Se215 due to the comfort. Would like to try Beyer X3 at Jaben some day

Shure SE215 within RM300  shakehead.gif

For similar performance to the SE215 at an affordable price, do consider the SoundMAGIC PL50 as well  nod.gif

Manage to get it at 290. Actually eyeing on the Etymotic HF5 but can't find any dealer here also.

Decided to settle with Shure 215. Tested with my friend pair just now.. The bass was quite nice and sound is quite warm and pleasant to hear. Massive upgrade from my crappy apple earbud.. Considering it is below RM300 couldn't complain much. Will make an order this week

Any stylish portable closed back, over the ear headphone that came with a good SQ?. Budget still about 500-600.. Ultimate Ears 6000 have the best design i've been looking within this price range and also produce good sound quality. Anything similar in this price range?.. No headphone like beats,skullcandy, soul, etc.
