ahhhh...might to recommend me which headphone amp do u think it's good???

leng2,

u can go for a budget & very good sound from Philips hp890 or Hp895. Around RM200 from shopping mall.

Eric,
Different headphone apply different Ω to drive wif media player.
Here are samples of some great sound headphone from this URL
http://www.51erji.com/Article/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=13

Grado 325/32Ω (no need headamp)
Senn HD600/300Ω (Need Headamp)
Beyerdynamic DT831/250Ω (Reviewer said it is good oredi,strangely)
AKG K501/120Ω (Need Headamp)

The above article give some pretty interesting description on each headphone sound signature from 4 Big Brands. Now, i know how to promote the Grado sound much better in Chinese.

Actually got lot amps available. From diy to branded one. Branded one cost few k.

Perhaps you can go to bulk section to look for some goodbuy. If u can get hold of m3,ppav2, it would be great or you can go to litte dot bulk section, guys there is bulking this china brand tube amp.

get a Mini-EPH Amp lo, budget price lo

what do u guys think bout hd555?

need an amp or not? the link site dun have

rite now im just link in directly from source.

this one yes is need a head amp.

i'm using mdr-v150 for my production use... i cannot tahan the inaccuracies of the headphone cuz what i do is not what i hear (on the monitors)... i mean i'm prepared to shell out 300 like that for an accurate headphone... but not like 650!!!

sorry... abit sian here... so shocked to know that price... btw, i am REALLY interested to know what u guys spend so much for the headphone for.

We treating it as hobby, sometimes hobby does burn some $$ Being an audiophile is better than be alcoholic, computer hardware enthutiastic and car top speed maniac, It's safe and less money spent compare to those I mentioned

Want some accurate headphone? Try AKG K240DF, heard that it's the most uncolored AKG headphone and it's 600ohm, mainly design for studio monitoring, K240M is another alternative ~~~ You should try these

*Don't forget more civilised and educated, if you going to live concert

thanks for the two recommendation... can u gimme a rough estimate on their price as well?

btw, ur retriever want to let go for how much and how old is he?

K240df last time was going for lowest RM500, while K240m you can get it here for a barely used one or here for a new one

OFFTOPIC: Oh ya I wanted to sell my puppy to fund my new headphone! hehe just joking, I just gotta sell it due to the reason I mentioned inside the thread ... He's a 8 weeks old smart little guy, negotiable till around RM850 COD in KL or Ipoh

Just grabbed an unwanted gift -> K240M from my customer, today will passed back to him.

My Reason: Top secret.

Top secret? You got anything better to offer? Just introduce to us la

Top secret = flame bait.
Just keep it to myself

Anything better? Stax?
Hehe... I guess I will wasting my time selling Stax in Malaysia even I can get good price from Japan. Look at our buyers buying power and exposure to music reproduction you already know.

Then must be one of your product is better than this K240m, actually I thought of recomend leng2 go for HP1000 just that I'm not sure it's suitable for music producing or not, it's detail is way better than my HF-1 when amp with LDIII, soundstage is great and just the mid is recessed abit compare to it, I was thinking to do recable to make the mid greater, any idea? Oh ya, you did open the HP1000 before right? Me hand itchy peel off the thin layer paper to try how it sounds since mine had passed the warranty, the sound ends up too harsh, wondering what kind of paper material they are using, wanna paste the layer back

a few of my forum mates (who are also signed artistes) advised me not to get dj headphones as they're not meant for producers... i suppose they have their reasons as some of them are djs also...

akg k240df,k240m are meant for professional studio monitoring. You will notice lot of musician and radio DJ use them. I saw wang Lihom use Akg too.

Err hemm... no comment
Thank you for your brave move experimenting by removed the tracing paper, I should avoid doing so on my HP1000. Did you remove the black cloth or the soft black spounge that siting inside the phone chamber?
I have no idea how to put it back

Each type of headphones have their own characteristic to best work in their environment. DJs are not using DJ headphone then they must be joking themselves in their career.
Any reason they are not using it?
AKG have good marketing on selling their headphones are way below market price to the Pro Studio. You won't be surprice that 240 might be anytime cheaper than some of the Philips, Sennheiser or BeyerDynamic.

I didnt remove the black cloth or the black spounge, the layer sounds to me it's the one which makes the sounds muffled, once remove it then I starting to feel regret, it's too harsh to my ears! I just have to find out what's tracing paper of and then DIY and put it back! I believe my baby could offer me much more, I'll keep on trying more tricks to get the best out of her
