actually...whats wrong with the PA2V2?

i managed to try out a unit sometime ago... and it was perfect with my A2ZS + PA2V2 + HP250. even my colleague came and said "wah! y ur headphones suddenly become so good wan?"

synergises pretty well for that combo IMHO.

ok...hows this... PA2V2 vs LDM+

considering all aspects, which would u go for and why?

the closest i can think of would be the Philips 2500. 6metre cable (but got volume control) and its a circumaural phone (covers the entire ear). its an open can so theres no isolation and sound will leak from the cans.

they sound alright..not that bass shy... thoroughly enjoyed them before upgrading. price is around RM60-80.

theres also the Philips 2700. but the cable is 3 metres. and the hinges for the cups swivel is kinda fragile.

@ferox
none. at least none that i know of...so i guess ur gonna have to try ur luck. then let us know here

my suggestion, save up and get the KSC75 for RM80 from coolerthings in the bulk order section.

ok waaaaaaaaaaaattt.....

after that got good solid excuse to DIY Canare onto it

ALL IT sellling for RM99.

i have it...

it sux

nolaaaaaaa...ive thought that way even before i bought the DT990.

that time i was just using my Philips HP250 only

id say the philips offer the best bang for buck headphones around. i like their sound signature.

ive tried the HP250 (which i really like).

ive also tried the HP2700 which is not bad oso...

the SHP8900 would be the replacement of their higher end 895. i suggest u audition first and see if u like it.

u could get a Grado SR60 for that budget. RM260 or sumthin like that. supra-aural though (sits ON the ear).

or u could check out the Audio Technica A500. around RM350 including shipping from Audiocubes.com. or u could try ask walabies and see if he carries that model. might be cheaper if he has.

just because its a sennheiser doesnt mean its better....comes down to music preference and taste oso la...

i personally think the Philips HP250 is WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better than the HD650 for metal

around RM60 or RM70

but its known as the HP2500 now.

duh (i knew this was coming )

of course i have tested them....and read what i said properly... its for metal.

pls la wei....just because something is 15 or 150000000 times more expensive doesnt mean its better...take the koss KSC75 for example. its practically the best and most recommended clip on headphones there are. and theyre one of the chaper clip ons in the market! i repeat...just bcoz its expensive doesnt mean its better...thats just typical consumer thinking.

and YES! ive tried both the HD650 AND the HD595 on various different setups which includes a darkvoice 336i and the rig in my sig. those 2 headphones has led me to conclude that senns are absolute crap for metal. their sound signature just doesnt do the genre any justice. it just kills the energy in the metal music. and trust me i aint the only one who says that about the senns for metal.

and in case ur wondering...i can test both those senns anytime i want... as the HD650 belongs to my boss and the HD595s belongs to my colleague. so i do have easy xs to them as theyre always in the office.

and i repeat....i personally think the HP250 are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY better than the HD650 for METAL

yes, A500 is curcimaural. as for which is better??? no idea. never heard either one of them before.

each have their strength and weaknesses.

try reading headfi and see what u can come up with.

personally, an upgrade of headphone instead would probably yield better results than adding an amp IMHO.

state ur budget, usage(movies, music, gaming) kind of music u listen to, source (PC, ipod, discman etc etc) to get good recommendations.

i suggest getting the crossroad mylar from yuheng in the bulk orders section

what thanks??

starbucks la!!

wait a minute....isnt the SR60 less than RM300 from that shop somewhere in ampang (forgotten which shop)???

around 260 or 280 if i remember correctly.

theres a few people in this forum (inactive in this section though) that has tried the m100 and have been satisfied with it. and ive also managed to read a few good reviews on them.

@xelrix
u can get the crossroads mylar series from yuheng in the bulk orders section

or if u wanna buy from retail u can look for the senn (forgot model) or the razer protones m100 (available in black & white).

bro...pls pls stay away from 5.1 headphones. theyre just horrendous ler. go get ur self the philips 8900 and and set ur speaker settings to 2.1/2 speakers. then enjoy the feel.

but personally...id rather get muh hands on the A500 for RM350+

dammit...i really itching wanna try that one

@gye325
budget?
