then ad300 is a nice cans..

Hmm, might consider them, just checked the price, very bang for buck headphone. Does anyone here own a ATH-AD300? Perhaps give some short reviews? And it's a Open Can circumaural headphone, like it.

Soap, borrow me your specs.

Hi fellow LYN,

I'm looking for a headphone for my guitar amp. I will be using the headphones most of the time to practice/jam, so for me, a headphone is somewhat a huge factor of sound quality.

Here's what i'm looking for in the headphone:

1. I need open headphones (i heard normally open cans are better than closed cans, sound wise), i have no idea to choose supra-aural or circumaural. What i can tell you is my ears are quite big. I need sound quality and comfort, those "forgetting that you're wearing them" type of comfort. Is there any open can circumaural headphones?
2. My budget is RM200-RM300.
3. Never own any headphones before. But would like to have one that is very comfortable and sounds good when i'm practicing with my guitar.
4. The real sound of the guitar doesn't have much difference with the sound in the headphones. In short, good quality. Example of bad quality, you plug into an amp and play some music, when you plug into your headphone, it sounds totally different from what you heard before, or it doesn't bring out the potential of your guitar, something like that.
5. I listen to Rock, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Instrumental etc.
6. I don't need noise isolation, therefore noise canceling is not for me.
7. I want the sound that's coming from the headphone to sound real and not dead/dull.

Other than ATH-AD300, any other open cans that have better quality?

Can elaborate on this compare to other cans?

I have a question here:
Is it true that the air ventilation in closed cans cirumaural headphones are not so good therefore making your ear easier to feel warm/sweat over a period of time.
In other case, is it true that open cans circumaural headphones doesn't have this problem?

looking for some cheap and good iem price range 100-200

prefer bass, vocal, warm sound

no crossroads product because i use them b4
no ep-630
no soundmagic also

maybe you can try the music valley sp1

do note that if you plug in any headphone the sound would be different from an amp no matter the price/brand.

however it doesnt mean that its a bad thing, its just a change in sound signature (think a change in amp) your tone might be different. i assume you are using it for practice so it wont be much of a problem.

I know it'll be different, but i want the difference to be as minimal as possible. Thanks.

I'm looking for a headphone for my guitar amp. I will be using the headphones most of the time to jam alone, so for me, headphone is somewhat a huge factor of sound quality.

Here's what i'm looking for in the headphone:

1. Open/Closed can, doesn't matter, as long as it sounds good.
2. I have no idea to choose supra-aural or circumaural. What i can tell you is my ears are quite big. I need quality/comfort, those "forgetting that you're wearing them" type of comfort.
3. Leather padded headphones, portable (optional)
4. Comfortable for long periods of wear, doesn't clamp tight on your head, not too much pressure on your ears/head.
5. Budget is RM200-RM300.
6. Need clarity, detailed sound, so you can hear the background music clearly.
7. Sound of the guitar through the headphone have minimal difference with the sound through the amp.
8. I listen to Rock, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Instrumental etc.
9. I don't need noise isolation.
10. Studio monitoring headphones, for musicians/sound engineer to work with instruments.

I heard normally open cans sound better than closed cans, open cans sound more natural, can anyone justify on this?

Currently, I'm looking at:
Audio Technica ATH-SJ3
Audio Technica ATH-SJ5
Audio Technica M-35
Audio Technica M-50

Any Comments?

m-50 is gonna cost 700 n above

forget SJ3 if u can afford SJ5 as it's supposed to be better in every way..

m-35..probably gotta wait for a while more as it's relatively new i believe..

Finally, someone replied.
Thanks =)

Actually, i can get m-50 for around 500.
SJ5, is it suitable for musicians?

Thanks again. Any other suggestions?

m50, rm500? for real?

mind linking me to da seller?

SJ5 is supposed to sound like the m30 i guess, balanced?

Around RM500, i called them today.
It's in Singapore, Jaben.
www.jaben.net

ahh what about the warranty then?

this might change my mind bout getting a +/- rm300 headphone n purchase a crossroad bijou instead first, n buy the m50 later on when i have extra..

What makes you say that?

I think there's no harm in trying a pair of good iem. And CrossRoads Bijou is not a bad choice to start. Then later you can search for a good headphone.

I myself is looking for a decent portable cans and find the SJ5 kinda interesting. But i've always wanted to try something like the Sennheiser PX100. =/

About the ATH SJ5. Anyone knows where to purchase them locally? Well besides Bluetin JP is there anywhere else? I asked Bluetin Sg but it seems that they do not have this item in their inventory. Advised me to go straight to Bluetin JP

Why don't you try the Bulk section? There's a couple of forumers here that are selling Audio Technica headphones.

Just dropped by Moderno at SS15 today, I was considering either getting the SteelSeries 4H or Plantronics 367. Which is better in terms of sound quality?

Full warranty of course. Jaben is well known to the audio-slaves in JB/SG. They are the Pros when it comes to headphones.
