hi folks, currently on Audio technica ES-5 but wondering which model can recommend for:-
1) good sound quality
2) comfy fit
3) good soundstage (i.e, really there kind of feeling)

Will be ATH-AD700 good? Or i other brands will be fine as well... seinheiser, bayer, etc... budget RM$500 no probs!

but wondering if worth to get such good headphones if my mp3 tracks are mostly 128kbs with only a few at 320kbs? not really a technical guy, but love to enjoy good quality music though

how much does a decent amp cost? i'm just thinking of portability in a way... i want something i can bring along to listen to in the bus, etc...

hmmm... music preference? house, rock, heavy metal, classical...

es7? what kind of improvements?

I don't really like iems (although my only experience with IEMs was the Sony Ex-71 & the Philips HN-60). After moving on to the es-5, off went the EX-71 into the bin (Ex-71 is really crappy in comparison). Are there any worthy IEMs out there in the market? I just assume the soundstage on those things are terrible. I know there are good models out there, but at quite a high price, so maybe if i could spend my money on quality and just sacrifice on compactness

Anyway, looks like my es-5 is going off to the bin as well.

...


Because, i just got my es-7 and burning it in now, baby!

It's quite sad. the Es-5 has a leather pouch, whereas the es-7 only has a cloth pouch? oh well

yup, so far so good. Can't wait till it reaches it's optimum after burn-in

I think it's trustable. Went to their storefront for my latest purchase and they were promoting their website/forums as well.

i assume you're talking about www.jaben.net though

hi, anyone got comments about the Future Sonics Atrio M5/8 (supposedly good for its bass)?

There's a seller selling for about SGD265....

currently using AT ES-7 but sometimes prefer something more compact to bring around... (plus good noise isolation)
