As per title
After some reading i've narrowed my choise to this 3, as i dont wanna spend too much yet, on audiophiles. I've got to know koss 75, but i dont like clip earphone. If u guys have anything from RM50-100 product better to suggest, please do!
I owned a Creative HN505, which i will leave it at home for house use.
Now i'm looking for a suitable headphone for myself.

These are the important information for a suitable headphone :
I'm using this coming earphone from my Laptop (HP tx2520) or Ipod Classic 6G.
I'm using it more for music and movie. Music that i listen to mostly consist of soft music, piano(richard clayderman), chinese-pop, new age music, OST.. Less for rock. I practically dislike rock music.
It should be comfortable for long usage. I gave up my Hn505 for this.
I dont bring this earphone everywhere i go, i already got an IEM. Just gonna let it stick with my laptop

Thanks!

Buy following price.. i'm still considering..

I have tried SHP2700 and T22 before. I prefer T22 and it's just RM6x now. The build isn't very sturdy though. The head band looks lightweight but it still serves properly. T22 gives a more airy/dynamic sound and the bass is a solid 'thud'.

Thanks! I think i'm going for it then

HD201 is a bit hot on ears when you worn for long hours

Thanks, then HD201 is out of my choise. Any more recommendation on T22? OR SHP2700?

u buy both ..then write us a review make easier refrence for people in the future

I'm not experience in Audiophiles.. so i cannot comment much mah.. No money buy both also XD

If you can wait,I can ask my friend to lend his T22 while I grab my ex-shp 2700 from my housemate and afterward will recommand you which one

I'd say T22.
Dont let the price fooled you, it's actually a nice choice (from the reviews I read in forums).

bought both but sold 201. 100 % shp 2700. hd201 really lack of smtg other than bass. not sure about t22 thou, maybe u should pm those who bought ?

Ok I tried both cans already.Shall we start the review now?

Audio Player : foobar2k

Soundcard : EMU 0404
Amp : Pa2v2

Ok let's start with some few song that I listen pretty much lately (most of them are in FLAC btw)

ANZA - Tobira Wo Akete

One of the best OP song in anime series,Cardcaptor Sakura



Enya - Orinoco Flow

One of my favourite "new age" song.Can really bring peace to your mind and soul at times



Mariah Carey - Hero

Great song to listen at 4am in the morning

THE DYING BREED - My World Down

Probably the best heavy rock song so far



50 Cent - In da Club

Hip Hop song yo

I can say is that those two headphones served me very well if I choose which song is suitable for those two cans that I use.I can conclude that Audio Technica ATH-T22 is much2 better for any techno,hip-hop and some english vocal songs thanks to its awesome soundstage and good "thud" bass but beware it's muddy sound.It's will be your worse nightmare if you choose a wrong song to play with it.The good thing about SHP2700 is that most of vocal songs (note:animu song) that i listened to are awesome with this can thanks to it cleaner,more detail sound that it produced.About lacking bass problem,from my past experience if you use WMP11 EQ to listen to the song,I can say that the bass problem will be gone just like that.

Anyway for all rounder ATH-T22 is the best choice you can get so far.But for poeple who really care about the detail while ignoring the bass might consider shp2700 as your perfect companion for listening pleasure

Thanks for the well described review. I think most people that is choosing headphones below rm100 should read these. I've decided for ATH T22. Maybe i'll write about it after i get it.

Thumbs up for you Hitman66

Added on November 26, 2008, 3:55 ami go for ATH T22 because i kind of like new age songs, and looking at SHP2700 lack of bass, watching movie with lots of bomb with it will be not as good.. right?

Need to play with EQ to solve the bass problem.But soundstage is important too on movies as well to get the umphh effect

wakakaka.. good job hitman. we should pinned this.lol

bass = good

Recently bought the SHP2700, can't really make any comparison since the last headphone I used cost around RM10. Main usage are for musics and movies mostly on my laptops and media players. I chose Philips because I read a few reviews on the net and found that Philips are known for their bass and clarity. Most of the songs I listen to is towards rock & hip-hop which I found just does the job perfectly well for me. Maybe I haven't been so called 'poisoned' by better headphones. But what the heck, at least it is up to my expectations.

Try to spot the difference after burning in your new Philips earphone, it can get better by it.

Okay confession time. I ended up with SHP2700 when i went to Sri Computer in Lowyat, with a steal price of RM75. Well, i tried the demo set, and i'm impress enough for its bass, as a newbie of audiophiles, i will start off with this set. Maybe my next set will be t22 / m30 from ATH. Hehe..

You will like it more then the can is ampped.And altering the EQ will make the bass more delicious then ever before

haha. nice. actually sound is something subjective though. & congrats.. u are one step ahead to audiophiles world... enjoy ur music. n watch out ur wallet..lol

Alright.. thanks!

it does sound better, since it was a few weeks ago when i bought it. love it especially when i'm currently listening to kanye west's new album that has lots of beats.

well for one i can say the sound quality of SHP2700 is quite nice... but...

the SHP 2700 is giving me a headache... it feels like i am wearing a g-clamp!! giving me headaches while listening to music...

lets not start on games T,.T

Honestly, you need a find a good fit, need to adjust the ear cushions to find the sweet spot.

very nice review there comparing T22 and SHP2700.
This thread should serve nicely for those who're considering getting either headphones.

Btw, T22's price had jacked up abit, refer to Akabane's bulk thread for the new price.

but the price of ath t22 increase edy...and the shp2700 decrease...

can someone compare with the new ath t series ATH T200... i spot in pc fair the price is rm100.. sound is nice.. really damn comfortable... i already tried it.. huhu..

currently using shp 2700...it's kinda well built(can endure my abuses hah)..and the clarity is really there .for the bass section it will still release a bit after burn in~most important is tat it is really cheap...hahax

how much it is now.. in lowyat?

I would pick the last one

If me, I would save another rm100+ and get audio technica AD300 hehe. Seriously speaking I prefer it over grado sr60 (not the newer sr60i).

nope..i'm frm johor..the price i get is RM55 frm carrefor..lolx

wow so cheap ma... i just went to lowyat.. the price for shp 2700 is rm75 and shp8500 is rm100...

rm75 is reasonable. The carrefour near my place is selling at rm89. Rm55 must been clearance price.

what u prefer mr terradrive should i buy shp2700 or shp8500.. the price range is not too far..

sorry out of topic..

Sorry I never tried both of them.

the drawback for 2700 is basically it's soundstage...it's nt the can that will make you"wow"(closed-back cans)~and the sound is on the cold side...these characters make it the perfect can for my sony walkman though..haha

erm how much is the audio technica ath-t22 at lowyat?

I don't call them cold sound, the vocal sound 'compressed' and tinny especially on female vocal, giving cold impression. SHP2700 more emphasis on bass and treble rather than vocal, and some frequency are boosted than the other. The soundstage is quite big but it have a funny sound in it, not as precise or accurate as more established brand like Sennheiser. Its not for people looking for accurate sound, but more 'fun' sound Its great for lesser sources as well (128kbps mp3 for example)

why people keep review ath-t22 instead, there is a new product.. ath-t200... ohh man i already hear ath-t200 during pc fair.. it is awesome.. but lack of review from the pro..

I've tried the SHP 2700 (own them) with SHP 8900 and the 8900 is better 1% if using onboard notebook soundcard with a very cheap casing. 8900 build quality is much2 better. SHP 2700 is better 5% than the SHP 2000 for me. Both the SHP 2000 and 8900 were my friend's.
