Tried the alessandro ms2, ms1, grado 225, 325 and beyerdynamic dt 880

So far I quite like the ms2 for the sound and dt 880 for both the sound and comfort.

Ms2 sounds more fun to me as I listen a lot of metal and post rock but wear long liao a bit uncomfy.

Dt 880 to me a bit of all rounder and is super comfortable :o

Will be using them at home on my computer and planning to mod by attaching a mic onto it.

Any other recommendations from you guys? Really new to headphones but currently using a heir audio 4ai. Thanks in advance :D

hey guys, anyone got a recommendation for an in-ear headphone? I was previously using T-Jays 3 but the cable just broke.. not sure if I'm sending it for service or not cause my warranty expire already and I'm afraid the price to repair it will be as good as getting a new headphone.

so yeah, any recommendations on in-ear headphones similar to the T-Jays 3? must be durable, don't want it to spoil so quickly after like 1.5 years like my T-Jays 3 :( max budget will be around $150 I guess.

thanks in advance!! :)

Hey, does Stereo still carry the Sennheiser Amperiors? I noticed that it is no longer on the website.. thinking of getting either the Amperiors or the normal HD 25s. Which would be a better choice for rock and kpop music? Or should I just wait for the 25th anniversary edition..?

Stereo your one stop headphones and earphones store in Singapore

Imma mid and vocals guy, but I like my bass. Deep, impact full bass but without covering my mids. Recently lost alot of money trying iems.. All have good mids but just don't have the bass that I wanted :( if only there is an iem/headphone that has the vocals and mids of an um3x with powerful bass..

sounds like a Philips Fidelio X1. You'll be surprised at the amount of bass impact these open babies can churn out. Stereo carries them now. :s13:

No chance to try the 8.a.. and the price is too much for me already. Like way too much :( Merlin is still reachable but not something I will get soon, lol. Very interested to try it tho, but I seen many people commenting that the demo version and the real version sounds very different from each other =/

Are there any promotions for the above models? Pm me if there are any :) also, are you guys planning to bring in the 25th anniversary hd 25s? If you guys are I think I'll wait for it before I go down and audition all 3.

Supplier side no news yet =)
