the cans you listed , some are portable , some are not , please list whether you want portable or not
and cans you listed , AD700 , do you know it is Rm500 ? while your max budget is Rm250 only .. again , pls do some research of headphone prices to narrow down your choices.

if you want bass , get closed cans, AD700/AD300 are open series where sound are leaks , not suitable if you want bass . DT231 might be a good choice but it is not portable and inconvenient to bring around.
you see , you listed full sized ? and earphone . you mean IEM ? erm, you are giving wide range of headphone/earphones choices , please be specify what you really want ... otherwise , you have a lot of choices and confused to get which one

1) home user ? or need bring around ?
2) narrow your choices by google the prices
3) headphone or earphones ?

mayb u can look 4 dynamic driver IEM's if u wan more bass or try 2 use LOD out from ur iPod mayb it can help a bit...

... Hows HD228 ? .. the cup for this headset is made of leather .. I think it should be comfortable @@ .. its about 289 from all it ...

Im wondering will the cup of the px100 easily torn ? ... it looks vulnerable and susceptible to damages

not really sure bout it n it's quite unpopular here... but it's not wrong if u wanna try..
PX100 pads r easily torn not really sure if it's replacable...

the pads are replaceable... but it's like around RM50 for it i think...

wa >.< ... mmm god... headache now +_+

Thanks man.
haha okok, my bad. Mm, well I want them portable/to bring around. What are the conditions that make it portable? no amp?
Okay, i re-read the forum and went to akabane's site to search for the price range of AT headphones
What I got was M30, AD300, SJ3 and FC700. Also seeing that M30 is the choices for most people is it what i'm looking for?
What about recommendations from other brands seeing that Seinheiser has good headphones as well...

My criteria mainly covers being portable, comfortable and have a good overall sound as i listen many genres, not just one.
Open cans give more leakage to the environment but are more comfortable? Closed ones better music but less comfortable? Am I right?
Is this where I have to pick between comfort for music?

I am interested in getting earphones AND cans cuz even portable cans can be quite bulky right? Or i could get a foldable pair of headphones?
IEMs generally give more bass in earphones right? Any brands to lookout for for earphones?
Any recommendation? For earphones, I would prefer more bass cuz generally most earphones have weak bass. Soundmagic? AT maybe?

Thanks again in adv.

from ur budget i'll recommend Music Valley SP1 the bass r quite nice IMO... out of the box the bass r really prominent... after burning inthe bass tamed down a lil n the details shine... quite a fun sounding IEM's IMO...

here r some impression from one of forummer here... http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...usic+valley+sp1

i think u should get a IEM for portable and headphone for home..

soundmagic pl11-RM60
creative e630- RM50
bijou - RM180

mayb u should state out ur budget for IEM..

there r many choice to choose ..

1) audio technica under AD1000 mainly no need of amps , not amp hunger . But you can always amp them for better performance . You also can check walabies thread, he is selling Audio technica stuff too.
M30 , AD300 is bulky to bring around thus not portable , but if it is fine with you , up to you then . So the better choice is FC700 , which is closed for more bass yet portable. Closed provides more bass but not as comfortable and
wide soundstage as open ... Closed is comfortable for 2+- hours , but open can last longer like 4 5 hours .. because closed headphone use leather pad ( mostly ) to prevent sound leakage ( more bass less soundstage) , so it is quite not comfortable as open which use foam ear pads ( less bass more soundstage) .. IEM is good but not for me , I feel pain when it stuck in my ears . you can refer to towkey if you want IEM , no idea about IEM


It is leather pads

lol bro im also no expert in IEM's... IEM expert should be Clieos... I used 2 dislike IEM but this SP1 made me change my perceptions on it...
eventhough FC700 r closed but the soundstage dat it gave r quite good IMO... bass dat r prominent r mid bass not low bass... the pads r not really leather but it's quite gud one not the likes of that can torn easily...

yeah , what i mean is , it is good , but not as good as open series ...but must within in same price range la .. Rm2xx open vs closed , open soundstage better .. doesnt mean Rm2xx open vs RM7xx closed , Rm2xx open win , no ! yeah , form pad easily get dirty compare to leather pad

Hmm, yeah.. that's a good idea.. for headphones I think I'm going for the FC700 for the headphones (cuz its more portable)..
as for earphones hmm.. my budget would be slightly less maybe 100+. SoundMagic maybe? Certain models of SoundMagic have IEMs right?
cuz I heard they're good budget earphones.. or I could get Music Valley's SP1 (but they're abit pricier)
Any IEM sifus on this thread?

it's not cushion but something like dat material ( leather pad )... the replacement pads are RM40 frm bluetin lar... dunno how much walabies charge for it...

okay..

wanna ask about grado sr60 n sr80... any different interm of comfortable n sq???

will better than AD300??

hi, pros...
between PL 30 n PL 21...which 1 should i choose...
FYI , i listen 2 jay chou n eason chan and sum relaxing songs...R&B, pop...n sum bass...'
im a newbie...plz help

i think u nid to ask d seller..

as pl21 is new in market so not much ppl own it..

according to previous post, pl30 was great..

i'm using pl20 but d bass is reli@@@@(totally cant feel it)

y not straight go for pl50??

clieOS recommended it too...

lol...seller said ...PL 21 is improvement of PL 20...sum users said...is combination of PL 20 + PL 11...starting i was going for PL 30...bt seller recomanded me PL 21...
PL 50 is way off budget...im a newbie no point getting such "high end" IEM....wasted ...lol

MusVal SP1? I have it right now and compared to the Quattro and PL-11 that I have, I like the SP1 better. And someone in the thread mentioned that the PL-30 was no match:

My own impressions of the buds are over here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry28567295

Price might be high though (RM180) compared to the PL21 / PL30 at least. It's more comparable in price to the Crossroad Bijous. But for clarity plus heaps of tight bass, I'd take the SP1 over the Bijous. Plays well with EQ too, with little distortion.

IMHO, right now, it's the best sub-RM200, bass oriented IEM I've ever heard, in my limited experience with IEMs. And it should keep new budding audiophile bass-heads satisfied for quite a long time.

But for sheer value, IF the PL21 indeed has the SQ of the PL20 + PL11, it's not a bad choice for RM80+-. I heard that the PL-30's bass is quite anaemic.
