Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[deathman91]

Soundstage might be slightly lacking =)

Will be dropping by 1 day to have a hear of the suggested and other headphones around S$300.

What do you suggest to have the best accurate sounding as I will be using it at home with my com + dac/amp which is not portable.

If you have a bit more cash i would recommend Audio Technica Headphones Pro Mk2. It has excellent bass and sounds great.

You mean the Pro 700 MK2? =)

Hi Stereo

How much are you selling for the Jaybird Freedom Stereo Bluetooth Earbuds and the Jaybird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth Headphones? And how much percent discount since I am your supporter since Woodlands days?

Thanks!

Can try a jays 2 or 3 with mic functions and tangle free cables. Or if you willing to fork out slightly more can try westone 1 with mic. Westone 1 wires are not exactly tangle free but tangle resistance.

Hello, im just looking for recommendations for iems.. was actually considering between ue 400 and FA consonance, but would like to see other bros recommendations first before deciding

Device used: Sony walkman F
Type of usage: Music mostly, occasionally videos
File format: MP3 for almost all the songs.. video formats would be avi/mp4
Genre of music: KPOP/Pop/Dance mostly. some ballads
Other requirements: More of a bass user here. flat cables would be good too..
Budget: ~$100

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Isn't the Sony MDR EX300lp supplied with the walkman F series a good IEM, costing around your budget anyway ?
And it's supposed to have synergy with the walkman F where you can use the sound enhancement function ?

Hello! Was recommended the Fischer Audio Consonance by one of the forum-ers here recently and I have to say that I am very satisfied with it, thus I am here to seek expert opinion again, this time for a pair of headphones This pair of headphones will mostly be for home usage, although I may VERY occasionally take it out. (Btw I don't use an amp.. But may consider using one in the future if needed.)

Your rig - Samsung Galaxy S3 with Poweramp music player, iPhone 4
- What type of usage - mp3, with the occasional movies
- File format used in your source - mp3
- Genre of music you listen to - KPOP (Specifically SNSD and CN Blue mostly), Ballads, Taylor Swift, Rock; etc. (almost any genre)
- Headphone / earphone type - Preferably closed back, do not want too much leakage of sound to the environment hehe a slight preference for full sized ear cups, but I'm flexible
- Other requirements (if any) - I like a bassy background with clear vocals, but nothing too sharp, and I wear spectacles hence sometimes the clamping force might be too tight.
- Budget - Preferably less than $400.. I can stretch a bit for my budget if its something good, but please try not to hit $500

Thanks!

V-Moda M-100 for $4xx.
Try it first at Stereo as the clamping is a but tight for me.

 

[g75yg75y]

Thanks. Will go have a look. But not too keen on over the ear as will tend to rub against my spectacles.

Thankful for some of the recommendations from the forum-ers, hmmm will check those headphones out when I've got the time.. I understand that there is a M80 version, what is the difference between it and the M100? Does anyone have an opinion on the ATH M50 & PRO700MK2? Thanks again! Sorry for asking so many questions~
