or u could try checking out the garage sales/bulk section and see if they have ready stock to COD with u today.

shp2700 is quite good for a below rm100 budget if u r looking for a headphone.

yup, d problem is those bass lover havent listened b4 to the real music using a good pair of ear/headphone. there's not only bass pumping in a song, other range is there as well but covered by the heavy bass.
*
not necessarily man.... bass is NOT what its all about...i seriously have to disagree with this... coz if bass is everything then ull see DT770 and Porta Pro sales going through the roof!

quality of bass is VERY important as well... best example i can give from my own experience. Massive Attack's Angel from their Mezzanine album (which imho is a very good album and well recorded). tested on DT990 (supposed to be bassy) and the HD650 (also supposed to be bassy). the rest of the setup is in my sig (Fubar and Battery amp). and FYI Angel is NOT a fast song in case u dunno.

the intro part...where the bass first kicks in...sounds full and very impactful with the DT990. it had alot of authority. just where its supposed to be.

on the HD650 the damn bass sounds like its coming from an empty can...no im not joking...instead of 'thump' it was more like 'tong'. i was so shocked that i quickly switched headphones just to make sure.

i did the same thing again on a different setup.... X-Fi Platinum + Darkvoice 336i. same effect. so no...just having bass alone isnt enough. a headphone can be bassy but if the bass sounds like shit itll end up destroying the music. thats why its always important to know what kinda music a person listens to before recommending.

and pls define "REAL MUSIC". i listen to metal...is that real music to u? and u wanna talk about other range....just bcoz theres other range doesnt mean its good....just because the other ranges isnt drowned out by the bass doesnt mean its good.

best example... metal has everything...highs, lows, and especially mids. even the bass can be forceful and impactful. its a bass heavy genre, but does NOT depend on bass like trance or house... as for soundstage...believe it or not some metal has good sound staging effects as well. with all that in mind.... believe or not id take my Philips HP250 over the Senn HD650 anytime for metal. i even find the Senn HD595 horrendous for metal. and HD595 is supposed to be a little bass shy.

soooooooooooooooooooooooo...................again, its not just about ONE part of the sound spectrum......but most importantly, since sound is VERY subjective...it depends on the user itself and what their preferences are. if the person likes bass heavy music...then they like it...even if theyve heard whatever it is u define as "REAL MUSIC" from a good pair of headphones...but they still prefer bass heavy music... its still their preference... one man's fun is another's hell as the saying goes.

as for WHY people stress on bass when listening to music...my view on it is simple... on most songs these days, bass is what defines the beat of the songs. makes the song have energy and enjoyable. hence the reason people emphasize on bass.

goddamit that was a long post! laugh.gif

EDIT: forgot to mention...i also second the recommendation for the Philips SHP2700...its a good phone and quite bang for buck imho.

Crossroad MylarOne series would be a good bet. i love the MylarOne X3

can get them from forumer yuheng in the Bulk Order Section.

@am3

since philips SHP2700 is being recommended a lot
i wanna ask more about its comfortability issue, is it comfortable to wear for let say 2-3 hours?without feeling heavy on the head?or not feeling hot around the ears?
bcoz i dun want to suffer again like wat i am feeling with now my current headphone (sonicgear hs800). huhuu so regret
*
u mean THIS ONE??

ur sonic gear has pleather earpads... which helps provide isolation. and also traps heat. so itll confirm be hot.

ive tried the hp2700 before and i find it comfortable.

the HP2700 shouldnt have a problem with ur ears feeling hot... its pads are cloth...so some ventilation will be there. and my colleague uses it for hours on end...so no problem IMHO. weight wise, to me its pretty light la...

its an open headphone and will leak sound though...ur sonic gear looks to be closed

Where can I get my hands on the Philips SHP2700 and koss KSC75? Does it fare well if playing metal music?
*
KSC75 definitely fares well with Metal.... but slightly lacking on the bass so dont expect to be hit in the face with the double pedal drums.

SHP2700 cant remember that much...but if im not mistaken its still alright. i think it still fares well with metal....

Dear sempai, I need your advise

Instead original Koss75 clip phone, is there any Koss 75 'headphone version', I dun like the clip phone type ...

Grado SR60 which is supposedly slightly better...some say the KSC75s are better....oh well.. costs around RM260

either that, or u can mod it into a headphone urself...like what i did with the Franken PhilKoss mod (click HERE (56K Warning!) to find out more biggrin.gif )

the marshmallows were once the flavour of the month by the forumers over on head-fi and are still quite popular there.

never heard or seen or touched it myself though. but judging from what ive read over on headfi id say give it a try.

*warning! my personal opinion only!*

a Senn for trance/Jpop? oh god no! they slow everything down. plus the laid back signature will prolly take the energy out of fast paced music like trance. plus its likely the Senn will need an amp to properly shine.

my recommendation would be the Audio Technica A900. no amp required. good for gaming too! biggrin.gif

actually from what ive read over at head-fi. adding an amp to the A900 gives it little or no benefit. guess that goes to show how efficient those cans are.

but the blue-tak mod on the A900 supposedly helps improve the A900 by quite a margin. especially in the bass department.
