Next time I go KL treat u one mamak meal lo

truly agree to the statement dat most people now concentrate on bass when buying their ear/headphones. just give them those super bassed ones, n they will surely say that its a good one.

They are fun to hear at the first few times, after that you will feel that you leave out 'something important' in the music

I'm in a dilemma right now. Anybody can tell me which to choose, Sennheiser PC150 or PC155 or if you have any other models or brands that are equally good or better at the same or cheaper price please tell me. I'm not specifically looking for a gaming headset or chatting but one that can perform for everything, gaming, listening to music, watching movies and chatting. Please advise me ASAP.

hello senpais
wanna ask
for within and below rm100 range budget, is koss ksc75 still the answer or there are other new better headphones?? (eg. sonicgear,creative,logitech etc)
thanx

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.

owh thx for the fast reply
i m now "google"ing for this shp2700 for its reviews n infos
)

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!

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

totally agree with u

Need recommendations for earphones . .

My purpose is clarity, so that I can listen and figure out the guitar parts in a song .. yea

Budget is rm150 and below ... poor student me =/
And i'll be using it with my phone .. .

Is there any difference between shp2700 and shp805 soundwise?

Or did they just change the name?

@C_w_sam
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
no idea...never heard the SHP805 before.

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

I have a question her ... where can i get a bose headphone?? any how much price will it cost? thanks for answering

FYI, i used to wearing it from 8pm straight until 12-1am, and i find it very comfortable..well, of course i will take it off when i need to pee or dinner
so the point it, u will definitely feel great and comfortable using it for a long time

Where can I get my hands on the Philips SHP2700 and koss KSC75? Does it fare well if playing metal music?

yerp that's the one!
anyway thx for those who replied. appreciate dat
now i've definitely no doubt on getting this shp2700

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....
