Hi there,
I also just bought a HD201..
It is the Senn that is 'bright'.. no low end bass..
if you can afford it, yes get the better (expensive) one! biggrin.gif

Hay guys wave.gif
Jus got myself a Senn HD201
Is the bass so weak like no base, or is it my Realtek alc850 issue?
I didnt expect it to be so 'no bass'.
I already play some continuous music for 3days straight, but the sound aint improving sad.gif
Or i should look into other headphone with more bass

You wanna 'get rid' that 212Pro?
Yes.. PA2V2 will definitely 'worsen' the 212Pro.
What headphone are you using now? Wanna 'swap' with my HD201? biggrin.gif

QUOTE(YiQi @ Sep 11 2007, 03:45 PM)
Oh! I bought Senn HD212Pro 2 months ago!
I don't like it too bassy, sounds weird huh! Because I love NewAge, which don't need bass very much! I love Piano, Violin sounds, so HD212 is too BASS for me, sounds like I should buy HD201.
Anyway, pair with my newly bought Little-Tube LDM+, the High & Mid freq improve, which also tighten the bass, sounds quite good.
Luckily didn't get PA2V2, heard that it make your BASS very strong, which might make my HD212Pro worse.

Aiyo Bro nicholas..

I like that term 'supraaural' type and 'circumaural'.. rclxms.gif

However my HD201 fits my pinna nicely, therefore it is circumaural rather than a supraaural.. guess I have a 'small' pinna(auricle/auricula) huh? biggrin.gif





QUOTE(nicholas_1213 @ Sep 16 2007, 10:35 AM)
Another proud owner of HD201  rclxms.gif and nice price u got there (outside selling RM110)

I think ksc75 is more to portability. But comfort wise (especially for those who don't like the clip-on type), Hd201 is really not bad, and it's freaking light as well. However, if i remember correctly it is supraaural type of headphone right.. instead of circumaural.

We certainly learn new things everyday! rclxms.gif

No bro nicholas.. I was NOT kidding when I said it fits my ear to be a circumaural! biggrin.gif
Just a slightly 'tight' fit for my pinna there but the oval foam really enclosed the whole pinna.. quite comfortable and no 'hotness' as yet.. been listening since morning, on and off.. burn in at the same time.. just acquired this HD201 only had about 20 minutes on it tops.

guess i have a 'smaller than normal' pinna.. all these while I thought otherwise tongue.gif

I think your pinna would be 'normal' then tongue.gif

QUOTE(nicholas_1213 @ Sep 16 2007, 05:18 PM)
Hehe, i learnt new word also - pinna (just found it from wiki  tongue.gif )

Btw bro jazzy939, you are not kidding right? bcos lastime i rmb i tried it, it was just nicely rest on my pinna.. only bigger than the pinna a little bit.. but it's comfortable  thumbup.gif meaning that yours are really really small le, or else the other way round : mine one are like elephant's one  blush.gif

It would help if you could provide a shortlist of your 'favourites'...

QUOTE(speedguy10 @ Sep 16 2007, 11:23 PM)
Hope some pro here can recommend me some nice quality of neckband headphone. My budget will be less than RM150. Usage of the headphone will be more on listening music.

Added on September 25, 2007, 8:37 amYou have been asking A LOT, which can be good from one point of view.
I am curious. WHAT are you getting at? Are you asking for the sake of asking? You're like just beatingaround the bush.
If you're interested in getting something, give us your budget, your musical preferences and we'll see what we can do.
Asking vague questions like "Any of Audio Technica products are good" is like asking,for example, "Any HONDA Cars are good"? doh.gif

QUOTE(vestig3 @ Sep 24 2007, 08:04 PM)
So how abt ATH Em7 ? is it good ? capare with KSC-75

If you're looking for in-ear then KSC75 is a no-no. I have a SONY EX51. Been using close to 1 year with ABSOLUTELY NO problem whatsoever. I like this EX51 because the bass is 'punchy' used it most of the time I am at the office or in bed. Then again I also have the KSC75 for my 'normal' listening.

I have also read about the negative remarks with regards to EX71. The EX51 is similar to EX71, why don't you give it (EX51) a try? MX500 I have no listening opportunity, can't comment on that. Other in-ear that I have is the Panasonic RP-HNJ50E. They're good but the EX51 is better! biggrin.gif

The only Sennheiser that I use is the HD201, which is ok, only to be beaten by the KSC75! tongue.gif



QUOTE(black^demon @ Sep 25 2007, 03:47 PM)
Well i think i have to cancel my KSC75 plan. I'm looking for a in-ear earphone (preferably). Sony EX71 is expensive but i read a lot of negative stuffs about it (fragile cord,tearing treble). How bout Senheisser  MX500? (I know its not an in-ear) smile.gif

You really have to listen to the M50 to justify the price.
I have and yes I would pay that much for that headphone biggrin.gif


QUOTE(Xonius @ Oct 15 2007, 10:51 PM)
hey guys, planning to get an Audio Technica M50, is it really worth the RM700 price tag? and does it need an AMP to fully shine? will it perform as good without an amp?

Honestly to get the most out of a headphone, it should be properly amped.. although some headphone does not require one.
I have 3! (headphone amp) tongue.gif


QUOTE(Xonius @ Oct 15 2007, 11:17 PM)
are u using any AMP? or somesort of an expensive high end soundcard?

i intend to use the headphone with my crappy built-in soundcard + no amp, and no i'm not going to buy a new soundcard, will be upgrading my PC by Christmas.

currently using HP895, it suck at highs, and have even worse bass.

it's your $$$. so do whats best that suits your audio needs on par with your budget. normally the budget overrides the audio needs tongue.gif
QUOTE(Xonius @ Oct 16 2007, 12:00 AM)
lol, a headphone amp would cost more $$$, not gonna spend too much money on audio stuff, for me spending even 200 bucks on a headphone is overkill, let alone 700.
