Dear All,
I never owned a headphone before so any advice/sharing is appreciated from fellow frens here.

Your rig: Toshiba Satelite laptop
What type of usage: Music
File format used in your source: MP3 (downloaded form youtube)
Genre of music you listen to: Everything
Headphone/ earphone type: Closed-Back Headphone
Budget: RM200 - RM300

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.

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.

came to know about HA-S680 from the thread; seems pretty impressive. interested to know the price if anyone is bringing them in. I hope I'm not going to burn a big hole on my wallet at the end
