well,grado is a good start for your budget.SR80 or the cheaper SR60 are both good but they are really painful to your ears so considering you will be wearing them for hours,its either you get immuned to the pain or gave up totally tongue.gif .no idea about the rest,only know that Sony and Creative can be forgotten straight away.maybe you can have a look at Philips' 8900 at less than RM200.

dont simply recommend grados without finding out peoples music preference first man... grados will sound like crap on some music genre. and sound best on rock.

also comfort issue is another thing u need to find out. some people prefer to stay away from supra aural cans like grados.

Erm, i am interesting to know why SR60 and SR80 are painful to ears? I havent listen to either one but curious on the sound character and the difference between two.

Btw, i am looking for a comfortable wearing headphone, my music preferences are Rock, Jazz, Instrumental and Pop.

hey, guys i am new here. didn't know there was an 'audiophile movement' in m'sia.
anyway, i am looking at some recommendations for an in-ear phones which provides good sound isolation. my budget would be around rm300 -ish. prefebly an earphone which has linear frequency response over the 250hz-20khz but with the bass region boosted (as in +db) a little and good clarity over the upper mids and highs regions. (good clarity doesn't mean it has to be boosted)
genre's which i would generally listen to would be house, hip-hop, jazz, acoustic, pop, rock, ambience, funk. (very diversed, yes i know)
was considering the shure e2c, along with creative aurvana. (but discovered that the aurvana did badly in lots of reviews). any more recommendations?
would prefere if the headphones can have a little more depth or soundstage.

the list of headphones and earphones which i currently own. (in no paticular order)
sennheiser pxc 150
sennheiser hd205
philips shp2500
philips hc150
creative ep-630
the bunled i-river headphones (rather good for a bundled headphone, i'ld say)

i also own the i-river t30 mp3 player. (a darn good mp3 player i'ld say for its price and with line-in recording)

i would also be looking into 'portable headphone amps'. like the pa2v2 by some guy named davis.
but i would be interested if there are any other alternatives for around that price range of the of that headphone amp.

but i guess the in-ear earphones would be my top piority because i want to treasure my ears, so that i dont go deaf after mixing. lol rclxub.gif

They will be painful to ears.
It will, initially. But after some times of usage, you ear grease will soften the pads then you will feel comfortable about it (or your ears shapes change to suit the pads? rclxm9.gif). Maybe will be the edge of your ears rubbing with the coarse texture of the pads. It will turn soft eventually.

my SR60 seems to hanging der for a period. but im716 is wif me most of the time.

even though im716 cannot deliver the Grado lovely bass impact & resonance.

Well, im716 teaches me how to stay closer to your music completely.

Everyone who loves music to live near to your listening to picture a vision outta the music.
IEM is indeed a powerful tool to possess.

This is the 2nd "wiseful" music gadget i feel spent worthy after my SR60 for so long.

(Of cuz must learn to bear wif the painful inside the ear for certain flanged..haha)

If you say like that, i afraid you will neva get im716 anymore. It is so hot-selling item & stop production. Hopefully they would be a new model but in audiophile world, new model doesn't mean better for some reason.

Yuheng won't running away wif ur money. haha.. He might worry you will FFK.

Needless to worry again, they will be people replacing your order immediately.

The manufacturer doesn't make im716s anymore?
