would your gf like the design for v-moda? v-moda is known to a lot of audiophiles for having nice design and sound quality which is better than beats. But do know that most of v-moda headphones have bassy signature so does your gf like to lsiten to house,electronic, dubstep? because the crossfade LP isnt the best pairing for instrumentals and vocals and classical music if thats what she likes.

try out munitio billets? or can go get Beyer XP series!

so whats your budget?

Hmmm

TDK BA200 RM400+ for online if local maybe around RM600, Se215 good choice , Westone UM1, Hippo Pro BA One RM489.

if dont mind non over ear can check out Head Direct RE400, FAD Adagio III(bassy and laid back mids), Klipsch S4.

havnt tried the ckm500 before but the beyer xp has really good value to performance ratio

wouldnt know I havn't tried the FA consonance. I've only tried what has been available at jaben D: but if you want my other suggestions you can of course try Headdirect RE-400 and Dunu Topsound Trident, i've personally used the dunu tridents and they are really good entry level IEM's. THe RE-400 on the other hand Clieos sifu highly recommends it saying it is the best you can get in it's price range and if you get it the only upgrade you should go for is top of the line like Westone 4 and above.

at that budget maybe you can save up a lil more than to get maybe the Westone 4r,Shure se535,PFE 232 the top of the lines but if you can't spend more maybe try the TDK BA200 i'm using it and damn its really nice. Or you can check out the Dunu Tai-Chi it's Dunu Topsound's current flagship model it has exchangeable parts to change the way it sounds like and comes with loads of accessories.

Oh yeah cant forget about the UE900 as well hahaha xD

Get the dunu tridents off taobao or somewhere they can go as low as rm60 and they are great warm sounding earphones.

If can save a bit more for pro500mkii if not try the superlux 668b

If at that budget try finding some secondhand superlux's either the 668b or 681

What's your signature you like bass? Or do you like sweet vocals or great guitar sound? Do you like neutral and balanced sound?

But if according to your xp3 I think m50 or 770pro suit you. You can check out ad900x or a900x. If want entry level I highly recommend the e10. Sold mine off but think I'm going to buy another one for my laptop.

Ad900x and a900x find from gshoppe bro. Or can order from japan like me cheaper but wait longer and no local warranty.

E10 can't work with smart phones without certain software. Clarity I think ad900x not bad.

Anyone can give some advice on the HE-400? Like whats good about it and whats bad about it I want more than just reviews I want consumer opinions please would it be a good upgrade from my AD900X? HE-400 or W1000X?

Or any recommendations for something close to shure se535 in form of a full size headphone? Smooth crisp highs which aren't too bright and that beautiful lush and forward mids which has barely any sibilance. I really want to find a headphone which can give me this.

sounds like everything I ever wanted god how i wish I could test it

if you dont mind me asking what airport sells headphones? would be interested to see xD

superlux 668b is good headfi forum also highly recommend

honestly if you just want a gaming headset get the carcharias or the steel siberia v2. most audiophile headphone have no mic and were not made for gaming because, you don't need much effort to make gaming headsets because sound quality is not really a priority. The features are what sets audiophile headphones and gaming headphones apart.

well carcharias is incredibly comfortable xD the most comfy gaming headset I had. The mic is also good enough for gaming. Siberia my friend has it and he says its comfy.

as in touching on your ear or covering your entire ear?

Try kcs75 or portapro both are from koss company and one of the best budget portable

I have the T50RP, and have been actively modding it as well. One thing you should know BMF aka bluemonkeyflyer(talked to him a few times through e-mail really really friendly guy) from headfi has been doing mods for T50RP for a very long time. You should check out his incremental mods thread which provides frequency graphs for various mods. mr.speakers also known as the person who made the mad dog used to be active within BMF's thread, though I have not seen what's inside a mad dog but im certainly sure that the mad dog has a certain combination of mods which are similar to BMF's mods. But the main feature of the mad dog would their pads, they tune their headphones to suit their mad dog pads and alpha pads and that's actually most of the cost. Mad Dog's are considered dark to many headfi-er's.

I'd recommend you DIY yourself, following BMF's DBV#3 mod. I have a bit extra of everything so I could send you most of the materials for no cost if you just bare postage only. I love my T50RP more than I have loved any other headphone I owned and doubt i'll upgrade anymore. Just too much modding potential and the driver can handle anything.

I thought beyer xp range all same price

Klipsch has a bassy signature

I don't think xp series is good. nor hippo pearl. I recommend checking out dunu top sound they are really good for their price. I used to use dunu tridents and only cost around rm60+

usually for beginner IEM's I like to recommend Dunu Topsound line.

I started with the Dunu Tridents really good entry level IEM's. IMO sounds better than the XP series eventhough one costs RM199 and another costs below RM100

I'd recommend Dunu Tridents should be able to get for below RM100 and it's built like a tank, super durable and has a nice warm signature.
