Hey y'all. New guy here  i'm looking or a decent circumaural headphones here. For usage with my iPod and my coming-soon laptop. currently not looking for amps as my budget is somewhat tight. would be using it for music and gaming, quite obviously. i know naught about headphones so a little guidance is needed here. budget would be around the 200 range. i'm not much of a bass junkie or whatsoever. but good surround and decent bass would be good. as i'm a fan of rock, metal and alternative. suggestions please? thanks in advance edit: noise cancelling possible?

@TJK911
i say the Phillips SHP 2700 would be sufficient...theyre open headphones though so no isolation. and they leak alot of sound.
good for ur usage i must say...

decent volume, means not at a volume damaging to the ears right? is it better than the default SonyEricsson walkman phone earphones? i mean, the sound buffering effect?
edit: been checking a little and the MylarOne X3i and XBi seems to be very popular. is it really that wonderful? i'm curious as to the main difference between an in-ear headphone and a circumaural type one. i always thought circumaurals are better.

circumaurals ARE generally better.... but each has its own pros and cons of course.. depends on what u want...and ur ursage as well i guess.
and yeah..the Mylars are excellent. i have the X3 (not X3i) and i think its awesome.

Circumaurals are better if you have proper setups. And they are not portable at all. It's a give and take.

Look at madman's  ing face when he first heard the X3 from his mobile phone.  |

ahh.. so basically, for plug and play usage and all, the mylarone would be better? i assume that when wallabies say "with proper setup" what is meant is that with amps and all?
hmm... i plan to use the headphones with my iPod Classic and my Vostro 1500. would a Mylarone be good enough? of course i'm a gamer as well and a rock junkie so the quality is a matter...

If you need a lot of bass you can consider the XBi...

It feels icy too.  |

Hi, can anyone recommend me a good portable headphone that can be dismantled like the SteelSeries SteelSound 5H v2.
I'll be using it for my laptop (will be bringing it around) + gaming..
Preferably the headphones have a microphone..
my budget is around RM100 - RM 150..
