Is microphone necessary

I also ask myself this question too...lol
I dont think I will be needing it now.
So what headphones do you recommend?

Hi there,

What headphones would you guys recommend for budget bluetooth for workouts.

Well , it's hard to recommend since you haven't quote your budget.

I previously owned a pair of ATH M50s. but i find my ears sweaty and i think the cupping force is abit too strong, so it feels quite uncomfortable after about 1 hour use.

Is it normal for ALL headphones to be like that, or is there any other headphones that have better comfort, around the same budget/sound quality?

Hi there,

About 100-300.

Willing to top up.

Go with inears, problem solved

You might be sensitive to strong clamping force and pleather pads, you can either change the headphone or just lessen the clamping force by stretching it for abit and get the pads changed to velour pads.

It is not all the headphone like that.

Good morning to all

Greetings as I'm new to this side of audio. I would like to request your advise for some recommendations for an audio setup.

- Your rig : Computer CPU / Laptop
- What type of usage: : Gaming & music (70%), Movies etc (30%)
- File format used in your source : FLAC, MP3
- Genre of music you listen to : Considerable to all types except heavy metal
- Headphone/ earphone type : Open or circumaural (Please advise what is the performance difference?)

- Other requirements : A) 5.1 or 7.1 ch
B) Relatively simple equipment setup to handle (for audiophile newbie, no issues studying manuals, details etc)
C) Gaming 3D positioning available

Budget: RM1k and below

Generally i'm looking for a hybrid ish audio setup. Not top notch given my understanding on the limitations between pure audio and gaming headphones so I'm willing to compromise in performance for the required features.

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you

Regards,
Marksman

Go with Audio Technica AD900X and Asus Xonar Essence STX, clean, not too linear sound, big soundstage, crisp sounding and awesome instruments seperation. Or perhaps AKG K612 Pro if you prefer brighter sound presentation and more intimate sound.

Or if you want that has a mic attached to it, Sennheiser G4ME One is a very good choice. Although I would prefer AD900X over G4ME One due to slightly better 3D positioning when gaming. Seperate your budget like RM700 for headphones and RM300 for DAC/soundcard, although if your motherboard has a decent onboard audio, it should be good for now, when have budget for upgrade, go with STX or STX II if got more to spend

it's closed can... which is why the cupping force is strong... so it has more noise isolation... not really... if you try the open cans like AD700... it's totally different as well...

I see. Thanks for the recommendation. Let me look up the rest.

Thanks again

E1, do you have any demo set of soundmagic earphone/headphone at your place?

Yes

- Your rig - iPhone 6+/One Plus One/Macbook Pro
- What type of usage - Music
- File format used in your source - MP3 , no space for FLAC sad.gif
- Genre of music you listen to - Pop, rock, acoustic
- Headphone/ earphone type - Over ear headphones
- Other requirements (if any) - Bluetooth headphones, preferably with a mic and NC

Budget around 1.3k +-, the cheaper the better, was looking at the Parrot Zik 2.0. Any thoughts? Or other recommendations?

Thanks in advance

try Bose QC 25/20i.

Not wireless
