Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[vincent90]

Anyone can recommend me a sports earpiece? Budget around $150-$200. I would personally prefer a wireless one with a good fit. Was pondering between backbeat go 2 & jabra sports on the website.

Thanks!!

Do put the Jaybird Freedom JF3 into consideration also. Personally find the fitting better than the Jabra and Backbeat Go.

You can consider the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro. Should suits you quite well with the sound slider closed. There is a walk-in price for it so you can dropby and give it a try first.

Hi there,
You can give the Fischer Audio Consonance and the Audio Technica CKS55X a try. Both are strong in bass.

Last week I went to your Plaza Sing outlet for a Black Audio Technica CKS55X. Unfortunately, there are only two white left at the rack. I asked a young sales guy who approach me and he told me left with these two white and didn't even offer to check for me if there is any stock at ION outlet....

At the end I bought the black CKS55X from Best Denki instead.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We'll remind our staffs to check if there are stocks at alternative outlets. Enjoy your new earphones.

Thanks for the recommendation. Did some reading online and there's quite alot of good reviews. Was wondering if u sell the accessories like the cups, cables etc as well.

At the moment the accessories are not available. We are checking with the distributor if they are going to import them in.

Check out the M-Audio Q40s.



Do note that I recommend to swap the pads to either a Beyer Pad or HM5 pad as this will greatly increase the comfort. I used the HM5 pads with rope spacer.




And if you are going to use it as a portable (like me) try to change the cable to something like the vmoda cable.

Cheers!

You can consider the Razer Megalodon which features virtual 7.1 surround sound.
