Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[Jason8811]

thanks guys!

do you have any recommendation of headphones for movie watching, which is below the price $100? i know it's a little low, but wanna try a entry level headphone first.

or should i stick wifh my steelseries sibera v2?

someone recommended me Sony MDR-XB450AP as well and it's quite affordable as well.

Never tried any steelseries headphones before so I cannot comment but around that budget you can consider the Audio Technica M20 and M30.

I've been using IM02 but i forgot about it one day and put it in the washing machine. Now it seems to be crackling whenever I'm playing music with the phone screen off but not when it is on. Weird. Any recommendations?

You tried send in for warranty?

Earin battery life is a big no no for me becos brand new its less than 3hrs....

All right thanks for your advice.

All right thanks for your advice.

Bragi Dash is a better alternative but the sound is.... and still a bit buggy until the next firmware update.

If you like the IM02 then the IM03 seem like the way to go. If you prefer a different sound signature, can try the Mee P1. http://www.stereo.com.sg/mee-audio-pinnacle-p1.html

I've not tried out the sound of the Earins but the design is pretty cool.

sadly, it's a bit out of my price range since Stereo is selling at 488, unless there's somewhere else that sells under 400 :O I'll check the Mee out.

Edit: Seems like the Mee requires an external DAC or something to get it's full potential =(

Which wireless over the ear headphone is good for budget conscious? All those wireless ones are not very good for phone call?

Sibera V2 actually not bad sounding I would say.
Good enough for daily use.

Anyway mine is the Diablo limited edition. USB type.
It does have those vibration/impact but sometimes over limit of the driver can take if you on too loud that's like almost at max.

I still using it daily for my pc. Like watch youtube, shows all those, music not bad also IMO.

Decent all rounder.

Personally I like the Marshall mode eq which has a warmer sound with smooth treble, suits your music choice I guess as chinese pop and kpop can sound slightly brighter on the treble especially when the music is compressed. The Sennheiser Momentum IE is not bad too but I cannot remember why I prefer the Marshall over the Sennheiser. You should try them out if you have the chance.
