- Your rig: IPhone 4S (May change to 5s)
- What type of usage: Music/movie on train
- Genre of music you listen to: Pop(includes English, mandarin and Korean),
- Other requirements: Comfort in ear, mainly clarity but not lacking in bass, was using creative aurvana 3 but felt bass could be stronger a little.
- Budget (in figures): below 400 would be fine.

Was considering Sony DBA-02, any other recommendations??? :/

We do carry them. But they are sold out at the moment.

Hello! Looking for a pair of closed headphones at around 250-300.
Using FiiO E10, mainly listening to classical and pop. Comfort is important

Thanks!

You can consider the Audio Technica A series headphones. The 3D wing supports makes them feel very light on the head. However they are designed more for indoor use due to their bigger size.

Do give the JVC FX-Z100 and Z200 a try.

Think GR07 BE or Yamaha EPH-100 would fit you quite well. And are you talking about DBA-02 from Fischer Audio? Personally don't think the MK2s are worth $400, the older price of the MK1 ~$250 more reasonable..

There's an Amazon sale for the Brainwavz B2 (essentially the same as DBA-02 MK1). Don't know if they ship to Singapore: http://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-B2-In-Ear-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B00573S3RC

Is the FutureSonic Atrio M5 worth for its price? How's the clarity and bass?

You can consider the SOL Republic Tracks and if you do not mind stretching the price range slightly there's a TokiDoki female version of a higher range model, Tracks HD.

The ES range from Audio Technica would be suitable. Particularly the ES700.

IIRC the E10 doesn't have a mic. You can consider the Ultimate Ears 350vi which has the remote and mic which can work with both iPhone 5S and Macbook Air.
