Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[TeamStereo]

Hi, thank you for the recommendation. Tot of getting monster dna but I would still prefeer round cable den flat. Does sennheiser mm30i or mm70i have good bass as compared to monster dna?

Most would find that the DNA would have a heavier and tighter bass.

We used to have an infra-red model from Philips which was around $100.
Right now is the Sennheiser RS160.

Any recommendation for flat cable earpiece?

Any recommendation for flat cable earpiece?

There are quite a few choices.
Monster DNA, A-Jays, UE400, JBL J22 & J33.
Technically we wouldn't recommend flat cable IEM as they produces more microphonics than normal cable IEM. Among those listed above the more popular ones are the Monster DNA, A-Jays and UE400.

Hi

Anyone can recommend a good solid BT headphone with surround sound capability for watching movies? Also best to come with on/off switch and volume up/down buttons on headphone

Thanks

Maybe you can give the Sennheiser Momentum On-ear a try. Personally find it to have a better presentation than the original Momentum. As for the IEMs part those are the popular choices among the price range.

I actually felt like the original Momentum seemed to bring out the instrumental separation better than the on-ear.

I went down to the ION and Plaza Singapura branches earlier and there was this one assistant from the Plaza Singapura branch that recommended the Sennheiser CX880. Not really requesting for any recommendations now but just want to thank the assistant for giving a very detailed explanation on the difference between the different products. ^^

There's the Parrot Zik, Sennheiser MMX450X and MMX550X.

You're welcome. Glad that we are able to provide any help. As mentioned before sound is a personal preference thing so what I hear might not be what you'll hear. Also the equipment used for testing will play a part also.

Hi, actually I'm thinking of connecting headphones to my tv/soundbar using wireless (either BT or 2.4Ghz) means to watch movies and not for gaming. I'll look into you earlier BT suggestions.

Can I ask whether you have the SONY MDR-DS7500 wireless headphone? It seems good on reviews supporting 7.1 lossless surround sounds? Can the transmitter supports 2 headphones?

The Sony MDR-DS7500 HDMI headphones support 7.1 lossless audio and PCM - Blu-ray Forum

How about this newer SONY model supporting 9.1 ch lossless surround sound

Sony MDR-HW700DS?

Thanks

looking at either the BayernDynamics DT990 or the AKG 702.. Will be using for 70% gaming and 30% Music.. which will be a better choice? Will be plugged into an Astro mix amp.

If it is the 32ohms 990 should be fine. The 702 is well known for being hard to drive so might not be a good choice. But I'm not sure about the driving power of the Astro Mix Amp. Maybe you can consider the Audio Technica ATH AD700X also. Which had received positive review for gaming use particularly with the Astro Mix Amp.

OK so how about some brands and models equivalent to or better than those SONY wireless (2.4GHz) headphones I mentioned i.e. with 7.1 or 9.1 channels surround sound?

Thanks

If it is something similar to the Sony one that you're looking for, we would only have the Sennheiser RS170 which has Sennheiser's own surround sound simulator.
One thing to note is that even it is stated 5.1/7.1, the surround sound you get is actually simulated surround and not actual surround sound that is achieved with an actual 5.1/7.1 speaker setup.

Hi Thanks.

Can the RS170 support two headphones at the same time wirelessly? I don't want an amp but do I REALLY need one for this? Is the input digital? If yes, which type or supports both digital types? Is there a lag between the movie and the sound on the headphone?

Yes the RS170 can support up to 4 receivers simultaneously. No amplifier is needed for using. It only supports analog input using 3.5mm input. We did not experience any lag when we use it.

Hi there, maybe you can let her try out the JVC FXZ100 and FXZ200. Personally will perfer the FXZ200 for its clarity and sound stage. We have the audition set for them at both outlets if possible to drop by and give them a try.
