1) for A300 and M30 , both of them are closed back and having hood clarity and detail . Apart from that, what are the difference ? because they are almost the same price, cant decide .

2) about soundstage and warmer term , I dont understand because i am new in audiophiles wub.gif

3)for close back and open back , what are the difference ? From the google result , I found that open are semi close and closed back are full size headphone ? need real user experience ..

4) Mostly of the time I am using in my own room which only me using it . And about surrounding , quite quiet most of the time.
I need full size headphone earpad to cover my whole ears to immerse myself in " MUSIC WORLD " completely,listen to every essence of music and another reason is  i already have one semi open headphone.

So open or closed back , which one suit me ?

What did mr. google say about audio/sound terms? lol There's even a thread about it lying around here somewhere. Time to put that search function to a good use, don't you think? wink.gif

And you can try to google for reviews regarding the headphones that you're interested in. There are plenty out there if you know how to look for them. I also think there's already plenty of similar (or exactly the same) recommendations around here. So again, you might want to give the search function a whirl first before anything.

We can give recommendations and a little comparison if possible, but you yourself that have to decide which one to pick (or which ones really suits you) in the end.

Cheers. smile.gif

usually listen to lastest Hitz music ( lady gaga poker face, flo rida sugar, Kelly Clarkson I Do Not Hook Up, and many many more )  =) ,prefer clarity + detail... So what's your suggestion ? I afraid bass will affect the clarity , if I want to bass , I think i will play it with 2.1 speaker system , more "boom " , dont you think so ?

Only muddy/boomy bass will affect the clarity. The A300 is nowhere near muddy. The amount of bass produced will be sufficient and adequate for a particular song. Meaning if rock music for example, you'll be hearing the bassline strings and the drum beats that you're supposed to hear, nothing more and nothing less. Now that's quality bass.

AD300 airy signature might lack the amount of bass necessary for the types of music such as pop, dance, R&B, hip-hop or techno (the typical kind of music that Hitz.fm would play). But if you're willing to try it out anyway then by all means go ahead.

if AD300 is lack of the amount of bass , then how about M30, for listening to those kind of  music ? or you have a better suggestion  ?

So you want good detail and clarity with not so much bass, and if you still wanna try AT, then i suggest you go with M30 for a safer bet.

" you'll be hearing the bassline strings and the drum beats that you're supposed to hear, nothing more and nothing less " , you mean AD300 has balanced bass ? mean medium , not high , not low ?

for bass , medium and balance bass is sufficient for me ...not low , not high... just medium

Read that post again. I was referring to A300. NOT AD300.

What i was trying to say is, in my opinion and according to my personal taste, A300 has a much balanced sound than the AD300.

SHP8900 is an open-back. So it may sound different than M30. Dunno if for the better or worse. Depends on the person i guess.

AD500 is good enough for (higher end) starters. At least it's a lot better than AD300 or M30.

Quattro is a fun sounding iem. Warm signature yet have very good treble and clarity. It's like having a little pair of full-size cans in your ears. lol

Needs intensive burn-in tho. I personally gave it 150hrs before start seriously listening to it.

It sounds even more upfront than my SHP2700 at times. lol

Well, there's no harm in having an extra pair of earphones. It doesn't even have to be that expensive.

just bought AD300 few weeks ago~ used less than 5 times~ not really can do wat i wan~
even i can hear my sis baby crying in the bedroom while i'm there in living room~

so i decided to sell it & get the same range of IEM~
wat IEM suit for this situation?? ^^"

You won't be able to fully enjoy an open-back like AD300 unless you're in a quiet room.

IEMs are good at shutting your ears from outside noise, but it's probably best to use a headphone instead of an IEM if you're just gonna be indoors.

Have you tried a closed-back headphone? Do you still encounter the same problem with one?

btw, beside Audio-Technica M30.. got any headphone to recommend?

The AKG K99 (you mentioned earlier) is quite good for studio use. It shouldn't cost you more than RM300 i think.
