whoa that's twice more expensive that jaybird. I'm looking at S4i price range, and Bluebuds would be the max I would spend. I'm not that audiophile, just that if the sounds are good, then it's good enough for me

Hi, guys. Just started dipping my feet in the water. I did quite a bit of research and just figured I'd ask here, too. (Heard the community is great!)

Your rig: PC, ASUS Xonar Essence STX Sound Card
What type of usage: Music, Gaming, Music (In that order)
File format used in your source: FLAC (24-bit or lower), MP3
Genre of music you listen to: Metal, Rock, Ambient, Post-Rock, Chillstep Mixes, some dubsteps with vocals. (e.g. Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Asking Alexandria, Moby, One OK Rock, etc.)
Headphone/ earphone type: Open Back Over-Ear Headphone without microphone (if there's any that comes with)
Budget: RM500 - RM1000 (or 1.1k at most) but trying to squeeze the quality-price ratio.

Currently, I own a Sennheiser G4ME ZERO and looking to sell it since I don't game that much now. I also don't need the pull down mic from the headset since my brother just got a Blue Yeti USB microphone. I am sure there are other headphones out there currently that offers better sound quality, that's within my budget, for the set of priorities listed.

Was eyeing on the new Sennheiser Momentum (Not the old one) but not sure if it's a good choice for its price. Not even sure if it's an on-ear or over-ear headphone. Did a read on how magnificent both Beyer Dynamic DT 770 PRO and the Beyer Dynamic DT 990 PRO are! Whilst the Sennheiser HD 598 looks really gorgeous, I need to know if it's worth it and also for the Sennheiser HD 558. I know some of them are closed back but yea...

These are but a list to get me started, feel free to recommend something else.

My SE215 broke. The cable got loose inside. Tried to solder it but in the end the original point gave way. Sigh. So I was wondering should I;

Stick to SE215 (2nd hand) or get the Ostry KC06(A). Are they similar to SE215? I dislike sharp/bright trebles. More to midrange and tight bass kind. Suitable? Or is there any other brand/model? Havi B3? AT IM series?

Appreciate your responses.

For your music genre try look for vmoda m100, otherwise dt770 have a good reputation for their bass too

Been eyeing for a JVC HA-S500 so I am wondering if this unit can be easily driven with my laptop? There are so much good reviews about this headphone unit. I have a Yamaha AV amp that I can use too to amplified the signal. My question is are there any other headphones that has better compatibility with my setup or they are all the same for the budget that I have. Appreciate any advice or recommendations....thanks, TH.

For the price, there's not a lot that can compete with the sensitivity and resolution of the JVC HA-S500. They're very easy to drive. I have one and I cannot hear much difference with/without an amp. Also they're tough to me, I throw them in my bag, use on the go, throw on the table, it still holds well.

Thanks penmarker. I saw you had the S500 photo as your avatar in the head-fi Been reading the S500 Appreciation thread which runs to 500+ pages (still reading!). I guess when you have a tight budget you can't expect to get perfect headphone; you win some, you lose some!
I'll keep my options open for now and continue getting some "poison" first from the thread.
Cheers! TH.

Previously I was using Avantree Audition wireless bluetooth headphone and the sound is great for the price of RM160 which I bought in Lelong.my however the fitting is kinda small for my big head and now I am looking for something better! I was looking for something bassy and clarity... my budget was around RM1000 and hopefully able to fish some goodies, I dont mind paying up to rm2000 if the sound is soooo so good that can make me ehemmmm ....

Any recommendation is welcome... BTW the Avantree audition specs are here ;

Msr7 or the m70x

yes, recent saw some comment on the shure srh 750

saw from Jaben, the price quite equivalent to M50x

actually which is the most important spec that v should look into while choosing it ?

Audition it
Spec just gonna tell you how efficient the driver is. Nothing else
