Hello everyone

Can anyone guide me on this, besides the song bitrate, sound quality depends on the mp3 player or the earphones/headphones?

I just bought a Samsung YP-U3 and the sound quality is not that good no matter how loud i play it.
Should i change the earphone or change the player altogether? haha

Thanks
*
u just need to change the earphone biggrin.gif
and u have to always remember

loud not equal to good biggrin.gif

audio technica M30 is an monitoring headphone, which give the signature of balanced sound, DT231 is more towards audiophiles headphone, both giving reasonable good sound with the prices u spend, try to search on more review, it actually depend on what u wan, a balanced sound headphone, or a aggresive funs headphone nod.gif

Guys, between the crossroads XBi and sony's MDR-EX85L which has 13.5mm driver units, which would be a better upgrade for me from my sony's MDR-EX32L?? I'm attracted to the sony because of the 13.5mm driver units and the fact that I can get it straight from most sony shops in Penang while the crossroads earns so many good reviews here in LYN but I must purchase it only through online and wait for shipment. The sony will cost me RM199 while the XBi will probably cost me RM170 plus shipping. Any inputs are welcomed. Thanks y'all.
*
alrite, as for sony, it is considered as multimedia phone, which means that it focus more towards bass as for movie,gaming,music purpose, it will oni sound beside ur ears with no soundstage and minor separation on instrument biggrin.gif crossroad was considered as entry level audiophiles base IEM, it give separation, positioning, soundstages, and more controlled bass, which compare on the performance, it will defnitely better as for music purpose, crossroad is well selling at head-fi(main US), spore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia. but mainly online as it direct target to audiophiles but not any ahkau ahmau in shopping complex biggrin.gif

I kind of reeled over when Walabies told me. "We've stacked some lower budget IEMs recently"

RM 300 is "Lower budget". O.o" Gawd I must be poor. XD

Anyways, for the headphones I've already decided, it'll be a pair of Grado SR-60. Tested it at Music by Design, Loved its feel.

As for the IEMs, I've still yet to audition the Mylars. Lemme find some time to go down to sunway to ask yuheng for them. >_>"

pls come and meet me up. biggrin.gif
as for low budget headphone, i do have beyer dynamic DT231, i think the sound wont loss to Sr60 to be honest. and much lower prices biggrin.gif

I have budget RM1.8k for headphone ... I have checked the price for Bose QC3 is RM1750 from Atlas

now the question is which headphone is really good to me ... yesterday I went to epicentre at Pavilion to try Bose QC3 ... unfortunately I did not bring my PSP to test the sound quality and noise cancellation ... so weekend I will bring my PSP to test on Bose, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica  smile.gif
*
for ur budget u have pretty much choices.
if u wan to use it with psp alone.
u can skip the sennheiser and audio technica as they need the amp to push for the level of headphone that fallen in ur budget ranges.

if u wan. can try on ms2i.it sound nice when direct to psp(unamp). i m sure the sound is much better than bose QC3. u can c that bose is not popular here or either in head-fi(the largest headphone forum in the world). as it is pretty on overprices with compare to other audiophiles brand biggrin.gif

may i know which step will be the best upgrade in terms of sound quality..?

80% rock, i m currently owned ksc75 modded by pcwork:)
*
personally i think u shall actually upgrade ur sources. it will give u better improvement, as sources is pertty important. d2 is a great DAC, and so far from impression, the DAC part is better than Monica, which is quite suprised me, and claimed it is hell d@mn good, sources make alot of chances. with d2, u get an amp function as well, which indeed needed from pcwork's ksc75 rclxms.gif

u can get IEM now, but end up,u will still have to find back some good sources to drive ur upcoming good headphone/IEM, don't you? must well get the sources and upgrade for headphone when u know what u wan biggrin.gif

If comparing mylar x3i, razer m100 and ksc 75, which has a stronger bass n clarity? Mylar?

razer m100 have poor quality on music, it is designed for gaming, which emphasis overwhelming bass.
as for ksc75, it have very solid bass. and giving with a clear transparency. but the week part is vocal. which have quite dry vocal
for x3i ,it is more balanced, bass wise it lose to ksc75 but it have more clarity sound rclxms.gif

so it greatly depend u wan bass. or clarity.

but pls bear in mind. x3i having a very good bass impact as well. just to be more balances and not that EQ. u can test both at my places biggrin.gif
