the bold part.....its up to u to decide...there are people whos willing to spend over 1k on headphones only....heck there are even people whos willing to drive 5-6 hours into another country to spend over 1k for headphones only (that would be me ).

best to state ur budget (aka how much ur willing to spend) and ur music preferences... also ur source (ipod, pc, etc etc).

hhhhmmmm........lets work with RM200

options...

-IEM (In Ear Monitor)
the kind u shove into ur ear aka canal phones. or some dude in head-fi called it ear dildos .... get the MylarTwo from yuheng from the bulk orders section. supposed to have good bass as well as clarity. price RM170....(yuheng..u owe me starbucks).

Clip-on
-Koss KSC-75. these are the best bang for buck clip on headphones around. i have 2 and ive only used it for a short while...and its definitely worth every penny...price RM75 (or 80 depends on MOQ) from coolerthings from the bulk orders section. All IT digimall PJ also has it..but around RM110 i think. cant remember.

Circumaural headphones.
-best i can think of within that price range would be the philips. most likely the HP8900. never heard it before but its the replacement model for the much hyped HP895. ive heard the cheaper HP2700 and i think theyre alright. i have the much cheaper HP250 and i do like them.

as the case with all headphones etc etc etc....keeping the volume at a moderate level will always be best....up to u on whether or not u wanna blow ur ears la...

the mylars are ONLY available from yuheng/walabies or u can go down to singapore and buy them...

not sure about the Koss KSC75. the philips should be widely available in electrical stores.

only on certain songs, the highs can be painful...but mine hasnt been burned in yet. it hasnt even seen 10 hours of use yet.

others have mentioned that after burn in the highs will be much smoother.

more bass??? the Razer Pro Tones m100. seems to have alot of bass for an IEM from the reviews ive read.

oh yeah...theres also the mylartwo. but the m100 looks better since u wanna put looks into account

around RM100

can get in bulk order section or in ALL IT.

if u want non-iem for under 100 then i guess the best bet would be the KSC75 man.

no experience with both....but ive read alot of good reviews on the m100.

never heard or read anything about the sony.

if i absolutely HAD to choose? id probably go for the m100. thats because alot of people/ reviews have said that theyre bassy.. and i listen to metal where i absolutely need the pounding of the bass drums.

no experience with the EP630 either... but theyre supposed to be bang for buck... add 20 bux to ur budget and u can buy 2 at pc fair for RM59 per piece.

thats the brand spanking new Creative Aurvana something something headphones...sexy as hell but no one (as far as i know) has tested it. not even the mad fellers on head-fi.

state ur budget and music taste. i kinda have doubts about recommending the creative... i just get this feeling they wont sound that good...


y are u asking what music suits the earphones?? shouldnt u be asking which earphones suits YOUR music? terbalik la weiii....

the only IEM i can think of under 100 would be the Razer m100 and the Creative EP-630. otherwise u can always go for the ever popular clip on....Koss KSC75.

out of all of those uve listed ive only heard the KSC-75.

id recommend that...as its good.

but id also recommend the Philips HP8900. coz i dont like clip-ons...uncomfortable

when u say closed ear headphone...do u mean closed back (for isolation) or u mean the kind that goes around the ears (aka circumaural).

if isolation...i say look at the Audio Technica A700. take note that closed back headphones can get a little warm over extended periods of time. but usually its not that bad. for a 100 more u can get the A900...Moogle Stiltzkin has just ordered one from bluetin.com and would probably just receive it a few minutes ago.

since i dont like them sennheisers...or ANY sennheisers... go for the mylar

both.....tried 2 of their most popular headphones (HD650 & HD595) on a few different setups and i found them horrendous. but thats because i listen to metal la...and senns are known to be NOT suitable for metal

open headphones i guess u could check out the sennheisers... if they suit ur music tastes..although i dunno what can fit ur budget...

or u could check out the Audio Technica AD series (AD=Open... A=Closed).

@kalakatu
no one answered maybe because no one knows...i guess u could head over davis' thread in garage sales and look at the list of his buyers and ask them about it.

@mkyo3
the best person to ask regarding DJ headphones as far as i know would be forumer Akabane@DrJackel. he happens to like them.

just use ur normal music to play on the headphones.

no need any special software.

theres alot of views on the EP630 in here...

sadly not many LYN owners here have the m100. so its really hard to compare. but from what ive managed to gather the m100 does sound good and also has good strong bass (im not comparing to the EP630).

y not u be the guinea pig and buy the m100 and write a nice long extensive review for us

yes the m100 is available in malaysia market

can get them in the bulk orders section or at All IT @ RM99.

EP630 is around 59 @ PC Fair. outside pc fair i dunno the price.

no idea...but the best place (aka best price) to get them is from coolerthings in the bulk order section.

you rang??? MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH


u dont want sound to escape??? KSC75s definitely should take out of ur list... id recommend the MylarOne XB or X3

yes...they leak ALOT of sound.

yeah....i only saw 1 thread in headfi about it so far...not surprising really considering they all arent a fan of creative (except mebbe the EP630)...and that was about 2 days before the launch...i went down to singapore a few days after the cans launched....dropped by the creative store in plaza singapura and even they didnt have it there...the staff didnt even know that there was a new creative headphone that just launched

Frys? theres a frys in cyberjaya? theres a frys in malaysia? or r u someplace else?
