well it's definitely a waste if you spent a hundred bucks on a headphone but ended up not using it.

if you don't want too much hassle carrying around a full-size headphone, there are compact/portable ones that you can get.

lol lets hope not.

enjoy your toy when you get it. cheers.

You can check it out here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/601859

or you can ask Akabane himself directly to make sure.

Well, you can forget about ON3 and Buttons(FW3).

And if let say your budget is less than RM200 and your preference is portable, I would say the best choice is SJ3.

Okay, so what is left in your list of choices then?

I understand that your in a tight budget (i'm sorta a tight budgeting man myself lol), but it's kinda hard to find a really good sounding (portable) headphone with a price of RM100 and below.

Ah yes, the KSC75. I've never tried them before but many said it sound pretty good for its price. A bang for the buck they say. You should probably consider it.

Try asking them users in the KSC75 thread. They probably can help inform you better regarding the sound quality and all.

I don't think there's much difference between them in terms of SQ.
yes, but recabled (modded) version of it is another story. i was referring to comments made by casual users/listeners.

A modded KSC75 also depends on what type of cable used for it to sound really good (pure silver, silver-plated copper etc). And without recabling, it already can sound good with the right dap and/or amp.

lol relax. don't need to rush when buying these things. ask around first and choose carefully.

haha i can assure you KSC75 is reli good coz i got 1 too. It amazes me when i first heard it and i have PcWork Recabled it just recently.

Now its bass goes deeper and sharper and it doesn't sound so forward. There are a lot of pros in KSC75, the only con is that it doesn't have sound isolation

My advice is don't rush into things, listen as many headphones as possible then only make your final decision. Don't just rely on review coz each person got their own unique taste.

if wanna test you can always come down to KL or ask our fellow Penang audiophiler to let you test

just spend more and grab a HD205 maybe? I think HD 202/205 are well worth the money. They say (headfi) HD 202 has the same driver as HD 212 pro, how much of that is true I'm not sure, but if that's the case, HD 202 is the way to go. Plus, HD 212 Pro is a 250rm headphone..So you might want to take that into consideration..

JBL u can get on trade zone there.. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1026054&hl=

why? skeptical? lol

according to Akabane, Audio Technica M30 performs kinda good for FPS game.
besides, musical-wise M30 sounded better than normal conventional headphones.

Haha, watching movie with IE8, that's what I've been doing all the time xD The IE8 fits the criteria you mentioned above Yet it's still better that you get a full size can for that.

You can't bring a z5500 on a train to enjoy movies now can you? lol
