Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[robolee]

I order from online already

 

[TeamStereo]

- Your rig - sound equipment/android
- What type of usage -music/sound design module
- File format -
- Genre of music - kpop
- Headphone / earphone type - preferably over ear headphones, 1/8 – ¼ inch stereo adapter
- Other requirements (if any) - mic
- Budget (in figures) - less than $50

The Ear Force M5 is a single 3.5mm jack for mic and audio but if convert up using 1/4 inch the mic won't work. Slightly over $50 at $59 but very good brand (world's leader for gaming)

If don't need mic wise, I would recommend going for the Sennheiser HD201 or HD202
Crystal clear sound on the HD201 and you might need that clarity since you are using for music/sound design.

If you are able to stretch and go for HD202, the overall sound is better especially the bass response. Pricing wise its at $59 =) I would suggest going for the HD202 if you can. Both HD201 and HD202 comes with the 1/4 inch adapter.

hi everyone,can recommend me something that fits this?


- Your rig - iphone
- What type of usage -music
- File format - mp3
- Genre of music - alternatives, pop, house/trance
- Headphone / earphone type - in-ear (prefer those 'straight' phone connector type cause i am using a bumper in which the 'L'/flat shape cannot fit in.)
- Other requirements (if any) - mic/volume adjust
- Budget (in figures) - $30-50

Can try out the Accutone Aquarius at $39!
- Straight plug
- Mic and volume slider (analogue volume control)
- Balanced sounding and good for most genres =)

We do it for regular cables earphones and headphones - not those flat or braided wires one.

Do note that if you change the plug for your UE 600vi the mic will no longer work.

I would say the SE215 SPE is a good choice for you - it has better bass control over the regular SE 215 and good for most genres of music. Detachable cables is a plus as well.

in terms of clarity is hd 201 better or are both 201 and 202 similar? i hope to have a headphone with a better bass and clarity at the same time if possible, i found out that hd201 does not have a good bass response, but clarity and crystal sound clear is important for me.

IMO both are almost on par when it comes to "general" clarity. The HD202 offers slightly more treble energy but slightly (just slightly) recessed in the midrange (vocals). If you find the bass is inadequate, the HD202 does offer more apparent mid bass.

Other than that, the clamping force on the HD202 is tighter compared to the HD201 which also results in better isolation.

Hope this helps.

Hi I'm interested in the jabra revo wireless but the stereo website does not have it listed so if I go there can I test it?

I have already tested the wired version in another shop and sounds good but I know wireless is not the same quality as wired so I need to test before I buy.

Also about the price is it worth it or is there another wireless headphone with better sound quality or functions at similar or even lower price?

 

[Dark_Templar]

Wider range of music genre the SE215 is better =) Also do try out the TDK IE800

Bite the bullet and got myself a se215 Special edition and they are nice.

Lost my UE900 (together with the silver metallic UE case) on the bus today....f*ing emo now. Anyone got any earphones to recommend me? Something comparable to UE900? I really like the sound from this pair of awesome IEMs.

Sian.... the UE900 does have a unique coloration to it and if you like them then likely you may have to get them back again.

Alternatively we have these JVC 3 dynamic drivers IEM coming in 1st May which are lower in price as compared to the UE900 that you can try too.

JVC FXZ100 and JVC FXZ200

We will be updating the prices up shortly.

We missed out the Jabra Revo wireless in our regular update, our apologizes....

Yes we have both wired and wireless and audition set are available. For other wireless options you can consider,

Harman Kardon BT

The Harman Kardon is closest to the Jabra price range and allows you to use wirelessly or wireless if battery runs out.

That's right, the fit of the UE 900 is a big improvement over the Triple.fi 10 Pro, and soundstage and clarity is a lot better than before as well.
