Just curious, but why Bose?

Bose only good in noise cancelling

Looks, sound and design sucks

It's like comparing to Beats, design nice, other sucks

V-Moda M100 better in sound and overall, but not really good in isolation

jaben network, once you been there, anything else bose or beats is out of this world exile

A lot of people are using this model in the uk, at least in Newcastle and London.
I was interested in this model before because I like its retro look. I remember reading some reviews and all of them say it has a balanced sound signature. Costs around £40 so it is quite cheap but it doesnt come with mic and remote, thats why I didnt purchase it.

i dont think i have seen anyone who has this, why not go for something more common and highly discussed? 
say...
beyerdynamic
shure
audio technica
sennheiser    has retro look headphones (sennheiser amperior / momentum for instance)

40 pound is rm200+ so options are more restrained
try beyeedynamic dt231.  Astro studio uses it, so confirm good stuff

otherwise audio technica is the way to go, but also a bit strong on bass

not saying that the Beyerdynamic DT231 is no good but what Astro studio uses does not equates to good stuff 

thanks for the recommendation. Shall look for it and test
I guess he is trying to relate that individual whom use headphone daily choice.

Anyway, I will use it as reference and of course test it if it suits my taste. 

You could probably go for Beyerdynamic XP seires, best choice would be XP2

be careful though, durability and build quality is poor. Seen many users complain of theirs breaking down in less than a year.

A popular pairing with C3 would be C&C BH amp.
Lol I've seen people changing it 2 to 3 times and still end up with a lemon, IMO if their quality is that poor I don't think having a warranty will be useful since you're left with a dead one after 1 year.

thanks for your recommendation.after doing some research.theres few brands & model that caught my attention.
* which that suits my budget ( RM 150 - 200 )

- beyerdynamic xp2 ( seems the best between these 4,but to many negative review about the QC of the product.so i will just avoid it )
- audio technica ATH-CKP200 ( good design & waterproof which i think will be suitable for me since my main use is for workout )
- audio technica ATH-CKP500 ( pls tell me whether this 1 is better than CKP-200 or else )
- superlux hd-381F ( the cheapest one . wonder is the product value for its price . pls share if anyone have experience with it )

hope you guys can help me in making the decision.btw,can someone tell me where can i audit all this earphones in seremban-KL range area ?
