Well they say HD 555 is an all-rounder kinda headphone, suitable for most types of music and can sound good without amp.

While you need an amp for the AD700 to fully shine. Same goes with SR80.

If i have an amp, how would each of them be different from each other?

Oh..Some1's selling it to me for 20$..But nah, not gonna bite anyway..haha. I don't like non-bassy types..Seems too neutral to me..Like RE2..Not my type. hahaha..I mean it's good, but doesn't satisfy me. haha..

I'm saving up for my SR 225 and HD 580..And secret amp biggrin.gif

Yeah..Need some1 to bump it biggrin.gif

ehehe..Just got my AD700..So far not too impressed though..haha..Well, it can hold it's own against my HD555, but doesn't exactly "blow it out of water", as some headfiers might describe the rivalry between HD 555 and AD700..

E3 is good on bass, but it doesn't have that button that you can choose between flat and bass boost..

For what? AD700?

Hmm..I've only used E3 a couple of times, and that was on my friend's setup too.. He had a JVC HARx700..

Can anyone recommend some budget earphones which are under RM 100? I normally to listen to soundtracks, country, rock and acoustic music

As always, state CLEARLY what you want.

1) Earphone or headphone or IEM?
2) Budget (which you did, good job!)
3) Types of music (Another good job!)
4) Set up?
5) Specific brand?
6) Closed? Semi-open? Open?

Haha, to me the EP630 is no where near the JBL xD You need to change the ear tips given to get better seal, I'm using IE8 ear tips on it, it improves the seal a lot tongue.gif Also IF you like the JBL SQ, you'll definitely like Sennheiser IE8 smile.gif
