not sure this one is good or not

Recently, there's the new creative headset that is on the market boosting a 3D stereo effect. Is it worthwhile to purchase one?

Hi all, I am considering between the Sennheiser Momentum In Ear Wireless and the Sennheiser Momentum Free. My understanding is that the biggest difference is the battery life. Anyone tried both before and can tell me how different is the sound of these 2?

Also are there any other Bluetooth wireless headset that you guys would recommend?

Most important factor is sound follow by battery life.

They are both similar in sound, it's just different design. The In-Ear wireless sits around the neck comfortably, and you can wear the entire day. The Free version might slip off the neck if you are not mindful, especially when the in-line controls are bulky and weighty.

Hi All,

need some advice for headphone for the journey to work.

- Your rig: Samsung note 8
- What type of usage: music while travelling
- File format used in your source: mp3 or mp4
- Genre of music you listen to: generic
- Headphone / earphone type: Headphones
- Budget: max $150

Thanks All

Hi bros!

am new here, not lazy to research but dk **** about earphones and not a audiophile

- Your rig: Xiaomi Max 3
- What type of usage: music or light gaming
- File format used in your source: Spotify
- Genre of music you listen to: generally any
- Headphone / earphone type: earphones
- Budget: max $100
- Requirement: very durable cables

previously bought 1More earphone on promo from Stereo, gonna say it's pretty good and their cable is made of Kevlar(?)

Using the new Skullcandy crusher 360. Best basshead headphones in my opinion. Has hard sub bass thumping and yet the mids and highs are good too. After hearing this headphones, the Sony xb950bt sounds as though it doesn't have bass. The bass can be adjusted to your intensity level and it's a big upgrade from the first version crusher wireless.

The build quality is also made of metal and have soft memory foam cushions compared to the plasticky build of the first version.

Go check out YouTube reviews. All those who review it are blown away~

you can compare your headphones and earphones till the cows come home but please go to plaza singapura's Stereo Electronics on the fourth level. They offer price matching so if you find the same model on other sites which are cheaper then just show the website to the staff and they will match the price.

Hi,

I would like to get some advice/recommendation

- Your rig: OP6/Mix 2S/Laptop
- What type of usage: General purposes but mostly music
- File format used in your source: MP3, Streaming (Youtube, Netflix, etc)
- Genre of music you listen to: Pop, heavy bass song
- Headphone/earphone type: Prefer headphone but will consider earphone as well
- Other requirements (if any): Wireless (with wired with a mic as the option), ANC, Microphone (for call/conference), USB-C charging
- Budget: S$200-400

Currently, for wired earphone, I am using Yamaha HA-FXC51, for wireless, I'm using ERL true wireless earbuds but the battery life really sucks, less than 45mins and ears feel sore after usage, and for headphone, Sony MDR-XZ770BT with the issue of it's getting hot easily so can't really use it for long hours.

I'm considering WH-1000XM3 but the price is a bit on the high side, the alternative will be Galaxy Buds. I am open for other brands as well, e.g. Audio Technica, AKG, etc but don't really know how good they are compared to WH-1000XM3. Thank you.

try carousell ? I got one at a very good price a while ago. And it's original and under warranty

Sony wh1000 the mic not good for calls based on online reviews.

Bose QC35 will be better for your needs. But give it a try first.

For me I don’t like Bose ANC, I like the Sony better.

Has anyone bought headphones from carousell, I intend to buy brand new but does not have warranty. Should I continue with the purchase? Any things I should look up for?

 

[lucied]

Yeah if they somehow managed to produce a fake that achieves identical levels of noise cancellation and sound signature within a few months then I will gladly give them my money.

 

[theaudioguy]

If the price don’t differ much from retail, should get it from authorized retailers. You will never know when the headphones breakdown

Can anyone recommend wired earphones with mic, and with noise cancellation for a budget of $100?

Intending to use them for webex/ conference calls, be it on the laptop, galaxy tab or android, plugging into the 3.5 mm jack.

Been using old Logitech G332 headphones for the past few months, ears feeling the heat after 30 minutes.

Thanks in advance!

Not many manufacturers make earphones with noise cancellation anymore. Maybe you can consider the audio technica anc100bt, it's slightly more than $100 but there's bluetooth and a cable for wired use

Hi bros, can I have some recommendations for cable replacements that is ideally compatible with both Shure SE215 as well as Westone UM PRO 10s? Ideally, a budget v.s. premium replacement. Much thanks!
