Can try the beyerdynamic DTX501p and also the UE4000

+ 1 for the beyerdynamic DTX501p ;

Its an on-ear (I like on-ear compared to over-ear as I wear specs),
Very good sound , reasonable isolation & lastly comfortable (you're not gonna wear a pinching earphone)

Try the Shure 440 too, it's natural sounding except there's a boost on the 10khz , so it's abit bright.
Other then that, Good sound stage, good timbre and seperation.

If u can use EQ definitely must try on it.. cos the 440s have high technical ability.

Hence would like to get a replacement as standby

Hi. I have been checking amazon on DTX501p and I saw akg q460 almost same price. Why? Stereo price for those 2 not same leh. Are they fake q460 ?

It should be genuine. You have to understand it costs money for shipping and stuff. If you can buy online on your own, do it.

Else for convenience, Stereo is the place for you to go. They're friendly, they know their stuff (most of them).

Who knows? You might find something else better sounding there!
