AD500 vs M30 VS DT231 , mainly for music 70% , 30% for FPS game ...so basically music and fps game

@ music , English Hitz music pop , rock , techno
@gaming , CS , left 4 dead , need to detect enemy position and listen footsteps

thank ... give me some opinion and their comparison.

PS: I just wanna know how much is the difference between these 2 , if difference not big , I think I would get M30 instead, cheaper

Yes , the higher the budget the more choices you have.. but for Rm2xx , AD300 is the one ... walabies dont sell I think ( he sell under Rm230 ) , no more stock , last one already sold for fr0sti3 ... Akabane sell for Rm280 , but also no stock at the moment .. try ur luck by pm them ... lolz

yeah .... AD300 in that list , for Circumaural headphones under Rm300 ... unless you rise to Rm400 , AD500 .. btw , m30 also comfortable , just for less than 2 hours .. if long term wearing like 5 6 hours , get open series ... usually closed series clamp your head to maximize isolation thus not comfortable.. correct me if I am wrong hmm.gif

wa , order from UK or US ...I thought before , but if claim warranty , very difficult to send back , need time ... and shipping fees also not cheap ...but if you have $$ , up to you biggrin.gif

= = .. hd 555 ? Rm5xx , cant compare with AD300 ( Rm2xx ) ... with Rm5xx , you can get AD700 already ( Rm520 )....AD300 doesnt require , as I flash back , below AD1000 no need amp , someone told me before , if I am not mistaken .But with amp , result will be better . if you can afford hd555 , better get ad700 ..

FC700 is closed ... erm , for headphone specification like close/open , you always can google it for the specification, google is not that difficult isnt it biggrin.gif ? unless you need some opinions/review then post here

for more information of FC700 together with px100 , you can see this http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/audio-t...ndstage-424665/

hi there,
i personally own an iPod Nano now,
finding a pairing headphones/ in-ear headphones
budget's around RM500

questions:
1) do iPod good enough to enhance their performance?
2) do it affect iPod's battery life?
3) do those headphones have a balanced high mids and bass?

i'm kinda new in headphones and mp3s'
please be kind to share what you know  smile.gif 

thx~  notworthy.gif
*
1) erm for nano I dont think so
2) erm , to use with ipod nano , you need a headphone/IEM right ? so you shouldnt ask this question , since you are going to hear it with IEM/headphone anyway. IF using headphone/IEM will harm battery life , then you listen nano with WHAT ?? lolz , speaker laugh.gif ?
3) Yes,they have .But every headphone is not same , you need to listen by yourself if you want specific performance.

since you are using nano , I think you need a portable headphone ...

Recommend :ATH ES7 (RM500 ) , good sound quality( reviewed by others ) , and stylish design( can show off using in outdoor) rclxm9.gif

Hi guys, I'm a newbie but I want to get a pair of earphones and/or cans
I currently own an iPod classic and if you guys own one, you would know that it has very weak bass.
Some reviewers say getting cans with higher bass will eliminate this problem. anyone know about this prob?

But on another topic, my budget can range up to 250 (max)
Was reading the thread and what i got was that the cans that were worth your money were the:
SJ3, SJ5, m-35, M30, AD700, AD300, DT231, FC700, HD218
Im sure you guys know which brands these models are from cuz I don't lol.

I'm not too sure about the earphone models as well. Help me out audiophiles?

Also, I'm not stuck to anyone genre so im not tied there but I stress a lot on comfort as I use them close to 3-4 hours at a go.
Open/closed cans? any debate cuz i've been hearing a lot of things from different people.. what about full sized cans and other ones?

Help! and thanks in advance!
*
the cans you listed , some are portable , some are not , please list whether you want portable or not smile.gif
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 biggrin.gif , you have a lot of choices and confused to get which one rclxub.gif

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

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.

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

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
