Hi, I'm looking for a headphones which is below RM250 price range.. and i've came across DT 231 pro and ATH M30. Doing comparision in term of sound signature between these 2 cans. My requiremnts are :
1) must be comfortable and can cover whole ears, not on top of ears
2) bass must be sufficient since im listening to R&B songs most of the time, but not too much bass

*I cant find much reviews on the DT231 pro on google.. most of them are reviewing the DT231, not pro rclxub.gif

Same level in terms of price?

Probably none actually...or is there... blink.gif

The DT440 (which I own) serves the purpose of listening to Jazz/Sopranos/Live Classical/Movie Themes kinda music...Studio rock or metal (unless those pre-85s) recordings sounds a bit harsh too my liking, which is where a Grado SR80 (which is owned by a close friend of mine living just a few blocks away) able to 'soften' out the over the top twangs and pitches...I listen to multiple genre and types of music, so if you have a tendency to lean more towards a genre, get the headphones that suits that, simply because you'll be wearing them longer than songs that you occasionally hear.
Both are closed back cans which one is targeted towards mobile travelling and the other, an entry level targeted for studio monitoring purposes. In a way both might suit your bass requirement but not so much in the comfy department. I'm not a fan of the DT231 headband design at all, so I it would be the M30 for me regardless of the sonics quality. AT seems to win in this department, but if you want the perfect one for the budget, may I suggest the Shure SRH-240...its just like RM18 above your budget, but the sounds it produces, really is serious business...
*
I'm quite new to audiophile..just googled the Shure SRH240. Omg the design.. so tempting. So the SQ of it is good? How about the bass? Do u know anywhere selling it? brows.gif

owhh..how wud u rate it within same price range for senns n maybe AD300 from ath smile.gif
but senn canot get with this kind below rm 300 rite..or ..i am wrong..

any user of dt231 smile.gif wanna ask opinions n reviews..hehe

try dt231 first..then go straight higher cans which use oni at home..lol..
*
Was considering to get the DT231 from jaben too.. but end up didnt get it because i dont like the design. Heard that it can easily be driven with any amps. And its good even without using any amp (according to my friend who's using dt231). Just go for it if u dont mind bout the looks ..definitely worth the money biggrin.gif

Hmmm.... so that's mean expensive headphone/IEM with low impedance can be driven to max volume with/without E5 amp,
but only tapping parts of it's sound quality. To enjoy the sound quality to the fullest MUST use better amp. Is it? Correct me if I'm wrong.
*
Seriously I don't see why people should buy the E5 lol. I got one E5 years back after reading so much good reviews, and man I was totally wrong. What it did was slightly increasing the volume of my CX500, and degrading the sound quality in the same time. The bass boost function was a total crap too. Honestly my old CX500 sounded alot better without the E5 sweat.gif

i haven't tried m50 before, but m30 and m35 gives me the impression that highs very sharp.

M50's highs aren't sharp at all i can assure u that. M50's sound is leaning towards warmer side.

Guys, want to ask something which is quite stupid sweat.gif but this happens yesterday, I listened to broken mp3 file, which it has *pop* sound halfway (all the mp3 in the album has this pop sound). Can this cause any damage to the headphone?

I'm asking because either my hearing having problem or my DT231Pro is damaged in this case, where the treble sounds so sharp.
*
Most probably it won't do any damage to ur headphones unless u bang the music really loud. Why don't u try it again with lossless files or well-compressed mp3 files and see if the problem still occurs?

Sibilance is an excessive emphasis on certain sounds, especially the 'S' sound at the beginning and end of words.

Well, i will only buy it if i can afford it. Definitely won't loan money from bank to buy such entertainment laugh.gif Don't get out of topic now, stick to the main purpose of the thread. Anyway, DT880 sound kinda similar to my SRH940 when paired with Dzero, only when it is paired with Govibe Magnum..it sounds like a beast. The oommhh it gave me was just..amazing. cool.gif

Very very different not slightly... totally different sound i guarantee. Vocal wise depends whether u prefer sound stage or not for me with sound stage its betterĀ  brows.gif

Go for the CNY bundle the if u wanna get dt 880pro cheaper and worth it i guess. Goldring is very very in your face/straight forward. soundstage flat compare to dt880 go try it out at jabenĀ  icon_idea.gif

U don't use flat to describe soundstage, it is either small or big (narrow/wide)

Guys, I am new to Beyer Dynamics  biggrin.gif I just bought my dt 880 250 ohms almost a week only .I am planing to buy an amp below rm 900 , I wonder what amp are you all using can recommend me any good amp ? icon_question.gif
*
Yes, +1 for Magnum. I've personally tried the combination before and it turned out really good. The bass becomes much more impactful and the song becomes more lively. It fits ur budget well too smile.gif
