Guys,

What's the best headphone that can be purchased around 1k. Headphone mainly for musics and some movies, more to clarity with sufficient amount of bass will do

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.

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.

Yea, go purchase the alcohol swab from pharmacy shop nearby to clean it if you're so worried about ear infection xD

Save more money and move into mid-lvl of IEM is better I guess

Oh haha, IMO Klipsch Custom-3 is considered as mid level xD High end for me will be IEM like westone 3, UM3X, UE triple Fi 10 and IE8 those kind

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.

High end then you can get either IE8, Westone 3/E3X , CK100, UE triple fi 10 or Shure SE530. I guess these're the top universal IEM. IE8 is nice, very satisfying indeed, furthermore you can adjust the bass accordingly. I've nvr tried HD650 so I can't comment on that one xD

Haha, Audiophile section=money suction Since the OS3.0 has been released, I think you shouldn't buy the iPod touch yet coz most prob 3rd gen would be launched in the coming WWDC.

Haha, it's to make it more challenging They also compare Phonak Audeo with W3/IE8/TF10 despite the price gap. Anyway, I think phonak audeo needs amp to max out its performance.

Added on June 12, 2009, 5:07 amHaha, sometimes OT a bit nvm one ma. Coz I think IE8 is a very gd IEM so I'm trying to drag someone to join the IE8 league You can consider it as budget earphone in long run coz once you get those top universal IEMs, ur hunger will be eased and you will no longer spend more money for other IEMs(except for certain persons though )

P/S: Is Bose QC2/3 a gd headphone? From the reviews, some says it's gd, others say it sounds like cheap headphone xD

Bijou is an gd entry level of IEM, its rival would be Shure 102, Klipsch Custom-1, Creative Ep630/830 Sennheiser CX300 those entry level of IEM I guess.

Lol, you reap what you sow wut everyday save 10 bucks 4 months later can get one ady haha.

Since you've Fiio E5, I think weak bass won't be a prob anymore. The E5 boosts up the bass a lot, at least for the Klipsch Custom-3.

Hmm, I'm thinking of getting a headphone for musics and movies, I saw these 2 headphone AKG701 and Bose QC3, which one better eh? or any other gd recommendation for headphone below 1k?

Haha, may be you're right, I should put it this way. A headphone that has warm and bassy sound, coz I'll be using it to watch movies thus a headphone with bright sound would be uncomfortable for long hour of usage.

Lol, the PFE is entitled to IE8 contender only, get the JVC HP-FX500 which is the IE8 killer Price also cheaper than the PFE

Nope, the price is RM400++ if you googled it, you'll notice that this fx500 is the JVC HA-FX1000 in disguise which costs 1k++ xD

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/confirm...553/index3.html some info from Head-Fi regarding the Fx500, reviews seem to be very gd, same level if not better than the IE8, price of only one third of IE8

Actually if you read the whole story, the JVC HP-Fx500 is not necessary Sennheiser IE8 killer, they named it because it's kinda the best IEM at the price of ~Rm500 that can compete with IE8, because it's rebranded from the JVC Fx1000 which is on the same lvl with IE8, some ppl still prefer IE8 over it, but who the hell will still get the Fx1000 at USD300++ when you can get the same actual product at USD 130++ with the name divided by 2 xD

You ordered from S'pore? Or tru Wala? Price after conversion+ tax. Also, We want pictars Pictars or it nvr exist(Kopitiam style )

I LOL at this

Still no pics on the Fx500?
