QUOTE(adiputra @ Jun 4 2009, 12:59 AM) depends on ur preference la bro, the pl-20 ( cucuk dlm telinga punya ) , KSC75 ( hanging @ ur ear) , Senn HD201 ( full headphone ) ...so its up too u  Added on June 4, 2009, 1:01 amohoh..masuk budget headphone ka? hahahaha..neway for me i more to Audio Technica with their uniq sound signature hehehe.. but try ask other sifu n otai here, i just a noob  Considering its headphone, it should fall under budget headphone as the price of a kick-ass headphone is very expensive xD I always heard about the popularity of audio tech in headphone but I'm just curious is there other brand of headphones that're good.

Would one would be the most comfortable? I suppose for portability it would be PL-20 since it's "cucuk dalam telinga" but would such types have a higher chance of risking an ear infection?

Lol boss, infection is the least thing that you've to worry about. I've been using IEM for ages ady and so far so gd. Even WHO are not able to confirm the harm caused by wearing IEM, so wear first, worry later xD As for HD 201, I think I auditioned it before at Mac Studio and I've to say that it's pretty disappointing as the clarity and bass are so so only. So if I were you, I'll better off choosing IEM.

As long as you don't share your IEM with anyone else and clean it from time to time, i think there's nothing to be worried about.

Atrio M5, Phonak audeo PFE, Klipsch Custom-2, Etymotic Research ER4, Head-Direct’s RE1, Westone UM2, Klipsch Custom-3, Klipsch Image X10, Sleek Audio SA6. Range from RM400-Rm1k depends where you're going to buy it. I think Phonak needs amp to max out it's performance, so unless you're willing to fork out money for amp, I think you should avoid Phonak.
