[TeamStereo]

- Your rig iphone, MacBook Air, windows 8 pc
- What type of usage mainly music, movies
- File format used in your source mp3 mostly
- Genre of music you listen to soft rock, Brit rock, pop rock, alternative, post rock, grunge
- Headphone / earphone type iem
- Other requirements (if any) Bluetooth, minimal bulk, simple design, minimilastic
- Budget less than 250?

Hi all I need a recommendation for a Bluetooth stereo headset that I can use to pair with multiple devices, my phone, laptop and desktop pc. Would love something like this design: Plantronics BackBeat Go Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset - Retail Packaging - Black:Amazon:Cell Phones & Accessories , with decent audio quality (I'm not a fussy audiophile) main needs are lightweight, non-bulky, and ability to pair with different devices. Microphone is a plus but not necessary. Any recommendations? And where can I buy something like this? Many thanks!

Most of them support one device to be paired only for those minimal designs one similar to what you are looking for. =(

- Your rig: Sansa Clip+
- What type of usage: music, sometimes youtube videos on my ip4
- File format used in your source: mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: kpop lol ~.~
- Headphone / earphone type: in ear
- Other requirements: prolly something more bass-y?
- Budget: below S$200

Thanks in advance! Slighty above $200 also can :B

I'm currently using Klipsh but cannot remember which model. Sorry I very noob at this but I really want a earpiece that produces good SQ with a more bass-y feel.

More bassy is the S4? =)

Maybe you can look at the audio-technica CKS99 below $200 and the Shure SE215 (blue) slightly over $200. =)

CKS99 got more punch but SE215 bass extends deeper.

Hey guys, need your help on this one. My current pair of earphones just broke again after repair 2 weeks ago and I'm planning to get a new pair.

- Your rig: Iphone 4 and laptop
- What type of usage: Mainly music
- File format used in your source: mp3 mostly
- Genre of music you listen to: Almost everything, from English to Chinese to Japanese, Chillstep, instrumentals, pretty much most genres (that's why I'm mainly trying to find a more balanced sound signature)
- Headphone / earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements: not really
- Budget: around $200 and below

Btw, the pair I just had is the Fischer Consonance, and I've really grown to love its sound signature. Hopefully there's something that sounds as clear and has that extra bit of bass while being balanced.

Looking at the Sennheiser CX880, UE 400, JVC HA-FXT90 and Beyerdynamic DTX101ie among others. Don't know how well they fit the bill though. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!!!

FTX90 and the CX880 should fit the bill nicely for you should test it out =)

Hi i had 2 requests

For jogging, can try the Sennheiser PMX685i
Stereo your one stop headphones and earphones store in Singapore

Sony MDR-1R? =) comfort very good for me and quite balanced sound and have a good sense of pace for techno too plus having very good details.

yamaha EPH-100 ($178) or Klipsch X10( get from marketplace at about 140~160?)

Futuresonics Atrios MG5 or MG7? Probably Vsonic GR07 Bass edition too... if not a second hand UE900 or a new TF10 works just as well, though the TF10 fit is a bit

Fischer Audio Consonance and the Sennheiser CX300 is quite a good choice.

If you can slightly stretch, the Futuresonic Atrio M5 is a great choice and now part of our special promotion. =) Selling for $199

Hi there,

For your genre you can consider the UE 4000 =) its about $10 higher than the price range you are looking at but it comes with detachable cables.

Small and comfortable too with decent isolation.

You might also want to try the beyerdynamic DTX501p and also the Grado SR60i which is more forward and aggressive sound. Although the SR60i do not have detachable cables, the stock cable is pretty strong.

I currently have a shure se215. Is there any headphone similar to that?
