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 tongue.gif

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? laugh.gif

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.
