I personally will recommend Beyerdynamic DT880, it has version that require less good amp to fully drive it to full potential, it is neutral for cross genre and great amount of detail and mid high to spot incoming for FPS gaming as well

If you looking at all rounder, M50x, DT770pro is pretty well on them, however the major distinct between M50x and 770pro, is the sound stage effect, M50x provides much aggressive and on your face presentation, while 770pro has strong sound stage and separation.


M50x would be my choice, or you can go for AKG K550 series, they are pretty good too.



Plantronic backbeat will be my recommendation.

A-Jays 2 is pretty good for the price point

My recommendation will be Beyerdynamic XP series, you can pick whatever audio taste that suite you.

I have a pair, just buy it for fun, seriously for RM179 with open design headphone, the sound really comparable with some famous headphone such as Sennheiser HD518, and you can look for HD518 price in the market.



Jabra move is pretty good, currently most of the places have big promotion for this model.



If you prefer flat, uncoloured, thin bass and less exciting sound quality, you can go for M20x, it was initially designed for monitoring.
For pure fun music enjoyment, i will recommend stay away from this model. No offend to M20x user, it is for detail lover.

For Bluetooth you can go for Sony ZX330BT, without bluetooth Senhheiser PX100, Beyerdynamic DTX350m, JBl has few models not bad as well

if u looking for an all rounder headphone not emphasize on base, i do recommend go for Sony MDR-1A, M50 to me is more aggressive, bassy and on your face, in the mean time you can consider Beyerdynamic Custom One pro or Sennheiser HD558


Have a looking at Beyerdynamic MMX102, it has microphone function for gaming purpose, great balance on sound and durable build quality.

For sennheiser In Ear, they are always famous in their IE series, you can have some research on them.

are you looking for similar signature? what is the music genre you mostly listen to, with more information we can recommend better result.

I do recommend JVC Wood series FX650, Sennheiser IE series and audio technica IM series.

Aw that is a bad news, in fact FX1200 for the price range, hardly you can find exact similar sound signature, maybe you can try out Sennheiser IE series or ATH IM Series, btw where do you purchase the earphone from? If i'm not wrong, it should be able to buy just 1 side.



I believe you can go for Phillip bluetooth earphone.

Haha yea, that is the exact problem i'm facing, i couldn't find any alternative, similar signature like FX1200, the dynamic range is pretty amazing.

You can look for Audio Technica IM50, Sennheiser CX3.00 and Beyerdynamic MMX102


Audio Technica M series are great, in the mean time you can look for new Sennheiser HD451.


You can look for JBL reflect BT, it has similar 8 hours battery life like jaybird, however the design, build and SQ i do prefer the Jaybird over JBL, however JBL is much cheaper thou.

For these complete range i guess you need to head over to Jaben.

Sound wise X2 is more clearer and detail, but i wouldn't say it is RM250 improvement, as bluetooth product the diminishing return of quality is different compare with wire.


Yes i have one unit, so far it is the best sounding Bluetooth sport IEM for me, i have tried JBL, Sony, ATH, Soul by ludacris, plantronic.

They are balance, not too much bass, clear, but please bear in mind, they are not RM700+ sound quality, you need to add in the bluetooth and battery technology.


I don't think there is any bluetooth IEM that you can do that, however you can

(1) Buy a wire earphone (Detachable type), then buy a bluetooth cable that can conned to standard MMCX type, but it won't be cheap, Lear audio has that.
(2) Buy a wire earphone, then buy the bluetooth dongle then can plug in 3.5mm jack
(3) Buy a bluetooth headphone that can do both bluetooth headphone and 3.5mm jack

Yes, the 1Abt is really good, nice tonal balance and relaxing quality. In the mean time you can try AKG Y50BT, JBL Synchros E50

Comfort wise, Sony, ATH and Soul by ludacris are big no no, they are huge and painful to wear, X2 and JBL are pretty good or you can wait for latest Freedom from Jaybird, i believe the comfort is pretty amazing due to the size.



Both are fine for all the purposes you mentioned, if you prefer more aggressive and tilt toward bass headphone, M50x is your choice, MDR-1a has more balance and soothing sound signature.

In the mean time you can consider Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, the sound slider can help a lot for all rounder headphone and you have the chance to add in microphone cable for gaming purpose.


JBL E50 synchros, AKG Y50BT, Sony XB950BT

it is not really consider an upgrade, there are still people who likes im series, hence the reason why ATH didnt discontinue IM series.

Sennheiser CX2.00 and Beyerdynamic MMX102 are my top choices, if you prefer more on bass, CX2.00 will be your choice, if you like detail, balance signature, go for MMX102.

I do recommend Sennheiser HD202, pretty good for the price and comfortable, there are plenty of reviews on the sound over the internet, a good budget headphone definitely.



What sound quality you would like to experience more? Similar to custom one pro? Personally i wouldn't recommend grado due to open design sound leakage issue in open area.



I think you can try out RHA MA750 and new Sony N1AP

Bluetooth or cable? If bluetooth, straight go for JBL reflect mini earphone, good fit, decent price and 8 hours battery life.


Jaybird Freedom or X2 is my options for below 1000

Sony XB950BT is pretty great fit on your requirement, however it doesnt come with boom microphone though.

ATH MSR7 or Sony MDR1 are pretty good perform in the stage, if you like classical, jazz type of music, i will suggest go for open headphone, the staging effect is a must in my opinion, go for Beyerdynamic DT880/990 or Sennheiser HD5 series if you consider on Open.


haha, i don't usually use in line microphone during driving, so i can't really comment much on the microphone quality during high speed driving.
