Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[syl000]

Yeap, u can audition the B2s at stereo. Just FYI, B2s will have a considerable less amount of bass than M2s. And depending on your source/DAP, the B2 can make or break. Used it with a 2G I touch, couldnt take the piercing highs and sibilance but love it with my sony player!

- My rig [iTouch, Blackberry, Laptop]
- What type of usage [Music (mainly), Movies]
- File format used in my source [mp3]
- Genre of music I listen to [R&B, Hip-hop, Ballad, Soul, Rock]
- Headphone / earphone type [In-Ear]
- Budget [<$120. Tight Budget]
- Other Requirements [Noise Cancelling, Good vocal, bass & treble]

Hi people, I have been using the Sennheiser x Adidas CX310 for a yr now before its wirings got damaged recently.

The CX310 was a little disappointing as it does not perform as well as my past Sennheiser and Audio Tech models (cannot remember the model code) in producing the bass, treble and the sound of instruments playing in the music.

As I no longer have a functional earphone now, I will be looking for a better replacement that suits my usage and preference (as mentioned above) within these couple of days.

Any recommendation with the details (i.e. Cost and place to purchase) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

-Budget [Maybe 200+ but can consider more ex one if its comfortable]
-Other Needs [Must be comfortable to use]

Hi guys the main purpose of my headphone/earphone is for my frequent travel so the device will be used mainly on flight. Therefore the most important factor must be comfortable even long hours of usage.

I'm noob in this area just want to just something that is worth the money spent. Thanks for the advice in advance!!

For 200+-, i highly recommend Vsonic GR07, TDK BA200, Brainwavz B2. Comex having some very very good deals for the Tdk and B2s, absolute steals.

Those are my last 3 IEM.. Lol.

BA200 is da bomb to me but flimsy build..

Spark from id America, price is 80ish or so I believe.. Think soundwaves over at katong112 has it, not sure bout stereo or other places.. It has a mic function and I think the sound is pretty good for its price and i prefer it to the ATH CKM500IS which is also in the same price range (+/-$10). The CKM500IS can be gotten from Stereo or most Challenger/Best Denki/mainstream tech product outlets.

i'd like to think that headphones are the most comfortable ones around, and for that range perhaps the ATH M50, Skullcandy Aviators (don't kill moi priest, I thought it is actually decent ) for closed cans, and open ones probably the Koss Porta Pro, Alessandro MS1 or the Grado SR60/80/125 series. Open cans might not be suited for flight due to the noise, but whatever floats your boat man!


IEMs wise, maybe the SE215, Westone 1 / UM 1, VSonic GR07 or the TDK BA200? You have quite abit to choose from at this price range

in-flight maybe you could get noise cancelling headphones?

- Your rig Sony Walkman Z
- What type of usage mainly music
- File format used in your source mp3
- Genre of music you listen to pop (English and kpop), house music
- Headphone / earphone type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc) iem preferred
- Budget (in figures) 100-200 (a bit above 200 might consider too)

Not sure what kind of sound I want to hear, not into bass but must be able to feel it. Clarity and also able to hear the beats and vocals clearly and smooth.. first timer in asking for recommendations..

Westone 1 is one model you want to consider
Another one would be TDK BA200

Stucked in camp for the weekends.. anyway, brainwavz b2 quite tempting but I would want to try before buying.. anywhere to audition?

I am currently using brainwavz m2 and want to have a better music listening experience..

Can try at our stores =) Got a price range for yourself?

Closest to your criteria is the TDK BA700 but at $159 so its slightly higher.

If not another one you can look at is Fischer Audio Eterna which falls within your price range

Thanks.

- Your rig > Ipod nano 5th gen
- What type of usage > Music
- File format used in your source > mostly MP3s
- Genre of music you listen to > rock
- Headphone / earphone type > IEM
- Other requirements
- Budget > up to $100

 

[BmiamiHK]

For $100 I will upgrade the cable to my earphones. That budget is too low if your goal is clear detailed music. Earphone buget can start at $200, player $200, Format 320 MP3 is ok and Flac a little better.

What kind of sound are you looking for? There are way too many choices at $100.

Can someone just recommend me a model that is suitable for my need? I know I have low budget but I think it would still get me a decent one. I'm just looking for an upgrade from my current $30 sony earphone. I usually listen to rock songs and classical at times. So yeah anything that really bring out the best of rock genre.
Thank you all in advance.

Just went to challenger and tried klipsch s4. Sounds really good, at least better than my sony. But at $119 are there other better or cheaper choices?

I know it is a very low budget Im just trying to find a comfortable pair.

Had HD202 and HD201 before but didnt like them cause they are painful for my ears after few minutes

Vsonic GR06 can be had at $80. I've read some really good reviews of it. Haven't heard it myself though. It has a warm bass which should play well with rock and classical.
