im already owning a HP1000 since the dawn of time and would like to get another pair of cans which are as comfortable as the philips. Ah Guan, got any recommendations around the RM350 to 450 mark? been eyeing SR60s for a long, long time now, but they aren't as comfy as the philips after 3 hours of non-stop listening. No headbuds please, already got a pair of vmoda vibes for traveling.

Hey kev long time no see. How have you been. blush.gif
I was going to introduce you Alessandro MS1 but you mentioned that you placed comfy at priority, I will recommend you the Beyer Dynamics DT440. Anyway, I got a MS1 tester unit at KL.

biggrin.gif i see you very the poisoned by headphones jor XD
Beyer Dynamics? hmmm if not mistaken the soundstage isn't as good as the HP1000 without amp right? I don't use amps now, waste of time for me to setup here and there, so my phones are plugged in straight to the output source which has quite a bit of white noise (motherboard mah). Other than that, you know anybody who has earmuff spares for the hp1000 and cables? my plughead quite rusty jor, and the clips on the earmuffs connecting them to the headphone bodies are weak due to regular cleaning.

laugh.gif need or not depending on u man brows.gif

anyway...i remember reading in head-fi...someone managed to mod Beyer pads (or some other brand...but circumaural pads la) onto a grado... all he needed was a cardboard, the pads, and i forgot how he stuck it to the headphones itself...

the extra distance supposedly helped to increase soundstage too thumbup.gif

extra distance = more soundstage??? O.o

I am not poisoned, I poison peoples. biggrin.gif
When you go higher than multimedia headphones, an amp is quite necessary to unleash the true potential. If you got extra moneyflies.gif to spend I can poison you gao gao. Come find me... wub.gif
