You can try auditioning some audio technica hp's, I believe they have some good closed hp's that are used for gaming and music (e.g. A500), and you can get them from forumers Akabane or walabies...drop them a PM for more info


maybe you can test out the yuin pk2 for earphones, since you can't get used to iem...and if you're aiming for headphones, I recommend you test out some Grado's or Alessandro's, they are easily driven by a mp3 player and they'll sound perfectly fine if your player is a good source

hi guys. i want to get a good head/earphone for my dad's retirement/bday
my budget is around rm1-1500, any suggestions, i wanted to get him bose but forgot to do it when i was in kl :< and they dont ship to oversea country's, could any 1 recomend quality headphones that have good sounds and can be baught online? tqvm my deadline is 11th of this month

well they gonna need 2 know what's ur dad's music preference if u want the pro's here 2 give gud reccommendations. BTW i think bose r not worth the money.

really?
well my dad listen to religious sermons or light music like jazz or classical music. any recomendation?

Err...i am considering of getter a new can and prefer techno/bass, type songs.

AKG K 181 DJ
Sen HD 600
Denon AH-D2000s
Grado SR225/325

What is the best among these choices(i am indecisive) or perhaps there are other better recommendation?

i'll try out the bijou for few days more la, then decide if i could live wit it..

cuz i'm not sure if i'll be okay headphone as well cuz havent really test a full sized one..

i was thinking of the SJ5 or m30 from audio technica if i were to go for headphones..

any other similiar recommendations?

as for iem, minimum would be bijou i guess.. willing to stretch me budget to rm300 if it's worth the extra bucks..

I think that's all the recommendation you can get. It's probably time for you to choose. lol

You already set your sights on the ATH cans. Go for it i'd say. =D

haha yea, in a way laa.. though i'm a lil concerned if full sized headphone will interfere when i rest my head on my pillow.. face up, will they?

well its not really an interference but if me i feel awkward coz not 2 be able 2 move my head much...

No, i don't think it'll present any problems if you're only resting your head and not going into a deep sleep.

but sometimes it can lead 2 deep sleep

Lol, better don't wear the headphone for so long man, bad for ears xD I don't think you'll be able to sleep while wearing the headphone either, coz ur ears will be stuffy.

Added on July 3, 2009, 1:39 amFor IEM I got 2 for recommendation,

1) Sennheiser IE8~ Rm1300-1600
2) Klipsch Image X10~ Rm800-1000.

I personally recommend the IE8 coz they're very nice, pretty balance in everything I would say, and so far the best IEM I've heard xD

One thing is, it's 4 his dad. 4 sure he's gonna use it at home only. It's better 4 him 2 get a headphone instead.

i know this is an headphone thread but i think your dad might prefer a speaker system rather than headphone because a middle aged man might not be able to get used to headphone or IEM

Maybe you should opt for some bookshelf speaker or a HiFi System, this might costs more compared to IEM or Headphones

Hope this help.

thanks for the help

So wat do you think r u still gonna get a headphone 4 him or getting a speaker instead?

can i know is shure SE102 is good? better then audio technica??? because i saw promotion of shure in mid valley....

@those who replied

well, looks like headphone dsnt interfere much wit my way of listening to music.. i usually lie down straight facing up while listening to music so i guess headphone would be just as fine like iem?

hope the SJ5 i've been eyeing has enough bass for my liking laa..

or hope that forummers here will bring in the ath m35.. either one is fine?

Yea, quite a decent IEM, gd clarity, just that the bass can't satisfy me Which Audio Tech are you referring to?

ohhhh its IEM ATM-CKM30...not sure the noise isolation is good enough...
