Go sennheiser thread for more poison of IE8~

Was thinking of the ms1 as well, that and the grado sr60/80's. Just to ask, do you think the extra cost, about 120+ or so justifies the upgrade from the sr60 to the ms1?
Also, would an amp be required if i were to use these headphones on my ipod touch or would the touch be efficient enough to power it?
Thanks for the input.

Amp is not needed for these headphones. Normal output should drive it well~

Err guys...i noe it costs awfully alot...bt wats the price 4 the IE8???

Around Rm1k++. Anyone knows what's the price of a new Klipsch Custom-3 price now?

Newbie here (also potiential wannabe audiophile).

I'm planning on getting some entry level (relatively speaking of course) headphones to use along with a JVC surround sound adapter (I posted in the where to buy thread, mind posting some responses there?) for late night gaming/watching movies.

Now with all my limited experience, it seems that I can't really go wrong with a pair of Sennheiser HD555's. I'm a bit confused about the recommend price for them as a couple of shops I inquired have them priced at 600++ (or don't stock it at all) since some random googling lists them at about 500 or lower (amazons selling for as low as 90 US but i suppose that with shipping and taxes it should go to roughly 500?) What price should be a value buy for them?

Are they any other headphones that are equivalent or better in that price range (budget 500++)? I don't have a particular preference for any brand s'long as it works. Or would you recommending going 1 level higher for a pair of HD595's or equivalents?

Lastly, I'd like to ask where can I test the headphones first (I believe the audiophilic term for it is "auditoning"), I'm staying in PJ, but I can go anywhere reachable by public transport.

i think i had tried Seenheiser HD555 in ALLit in Ikano Power centre

hope this helps

Waa chingwooi u gt the custom 3s? Awesome!!!
Hw the SQ n everything?

I plan to get a PSP2000 soon.
The speakers are not that powerful and I plan to get a headphone for it.
But I notice that most headphones in the market come with very long cables.

Can recommend me any good headphones with cables of average length?
Budget about RM100.

not sure about the cable length thou.. but

JVC marshmallow - saw this at JUSCO and its RM79.90, a cheap good headphones.
LEAR LE01 - sold by GodLuvSux and its in bulk... so have to wait for that (until further notice)
(both are in earphones)
KSC75 - this things are hard to come by nowdays.... but also good cliphones with amazing price...

Yea, jus bought it. Currently still testing on it, will do a quick review on it soon

Creative EP-630, RM 55, good for portability.
If you could increase a little over 100, can get 630's upgrade, EP-830.
both can be found in Bulk.

I recommend earphone as its portability to bring it around since PSP is handheld.

ooohhh...
ok ok...
