Depends on what kind of music you listen to.
Normally ATH M40X would be good with most genres.
Or you can even go with Shure SRH440 (many more good heapdhones for this budget)
If you're into rock music. And you're okay with an open headphone. alessandro ms1i and grado sr80i are good choices.
It all depends on what type of music you listen to  icon_rolleyes.gif

i usually listen to the top 40. hows the earpads on the m50/m40x

the sony's i tested were AMAZING.. like marshmallows on my ears.

hi there.. i used to own an hd201. it was "okay", but was kind of flimsy.

there was this one time i broke my toe and accidentally sat on it.

it broke into 2 pieces.


and the sony is an on the ear headphones so i dont know about that...



the hd201 cables are quite long. so you cant bring them outside

hi guys, im stuck between the shure sh440 and ath m40x.. which do u guys think is better suited for me?

im an all rounder listener, i listen stuff from electrohouse to pop
but i listen to very little jazz and classical though. my priority is comfort and also isolation.
prefer not too heavy bass like stupid beats. just enough oomph in them is ok

m50 is rm 360

Earpump Studio- RM79

Is it worth RM79 or I could find something better @ similar price?
p/s: It's quite good to my ear but 'm ain't an Audiophile.

Airphone III - RM129
Is this comparable to Earpump Studio? Didn't test it.

get apple earpods.. they have good bass and very stylish.

The sound quality is amazing!! laugh.gif laugh.gif

i wonder how the ath im50 compares to my kc06a...

i didnt really give it a good listen because i just focused on the hifiman re300 and ostry..

re300 was kind of smooth with a punchier bass but the ostry was more detailed to me. i can even hear the background of some songs from amateur artists.

i thought the im50 was 340+ but now i know its rm250 i kinda regret not giving it a better listen unsure.gif

might just have to buy the im50 too if it sounds good

Ostry KC06 / KC06A is with solid music body, slightly warm, clean with good punch and tight bass.
RE300H has dark background, smooth with large quantity and flexible bass, better ambience. Suitable for those who can't tolerate with sharp or brighter sound.
Due to the 2 driver design, IM50 has largee sound stage than KC06 and RE300, the connection between the frequency is not as smooth as the 1 driver KC06. Bass quantity is more than Ostry but lesser than RE300H. Details is around same range with KC06/KC06A, but sound is a little bit rough, not as refined. IM50 sounds more open, KC06 sounds more focus.

Thanks, i have a rough estimate of how it sounds like now blush.gif
