You could drop by challenger and see.
A wide range of headphones at the bigger outlets but they don't allow you to try..

Hi i recently tested hd-25 and klipsch image one and i loved both but i loved klipsch more due to comfort and casing given and priced reasonably. Was just wondering if anyone can recommend something similar beforeni make a purchase. If got noise cancelling will be better too. Budget not anything more than the overpriced hd-25s. Im using sony walkman z for now. Thanks in advance !

I would suggest you go treoo.com and hmm besides that you check out lendmeurears.com too..

For Rock It Sounds you can also try Multi 5enses (there's earphone within your budget but without mic)

- iPhone 4
- Music Usage
- Mp3 Format
- Mix Music
- In ear Earpiece type
- With Mic preferably
- Below $100

Is there recommendation for the above specification?
Using A-Jay Two (Dead already)

Currently i am leaning towards SoundMagic E10 because of its red design. Is the sound comparable to A-Jay two? or other recommendation thx!

 

[TeamStereo]

E10 is pretty good other than that you might also want to look at the audio-technica CKM500is for your phone. =) Comes with a mic too

$150-180 : Rock It Sounds R-50 (find at treoo.com or multi5enses.com)
$200 (or maybe more?): Vsonic GR-07 (find at lendmeurears.com)

Never try sennheiser cx870 before, but i think it should be more "bass leaned" as compared to the above. But the above are definitely more superior than cx870, imo.

There are some - I suppose material - issues with GR07 that I'm not sure if it has been fixed with the latest version.

Over time some green gunk grows on the swivelling thingies. Fired a email to delonic (lendmeurears) but no reply thus far.

The biggest issue with the mkI has always been the cable. The mkII uses a new cable which is much more durable. Oxidation will still occur (duh).

Been using my UM1 for about 5 years now. I was thinking of doing a upgrade as i feel the bass in UM1 is not that strong. Anyone got any to recommended?

I am using a mp4 player with a fiio E6 amp. Wish to change to something that has at least the same clarity but stronger bass as compare to UM1.

I saw people are talking abt getting UM3X. was wondering should i stick to weststone or get other brand?

I use it for movies and listen to all kind of songs except heavy metal. Think my budget would be $300 - $500.

Thanks

Hi, looking for headphones with closed back (no sound leaks) budget about $150 - $250.

Doesn't need to be folded, as I'm using it mainly as desktop companion to my speakers. Will be using a DAC + AMP setup in the future.

Would prefer a sound signature that's something like UM2 (Which I think is musical sounding?) or even GR07.

Is AKG K141 MKII a good choice?

Thanks!

Bassier maybe you can consider TF10 or W3.

Is there any diff in W3 and UM3x? Realise they are in 2 different categories when i search their website.

U use before TF10 or W3?

Is CKM500is still available in stereo ? i cant find that model from the stereo website

Edit : found it ^^

150-200 if you exceed a little for 209 you can look at the JVC FX-T90 =)

How about the UM2? I would recommend the UM3x if you can stretch but do try it out first.

The K141 MK II is semi open so sound might leak out =) You can consider the audio-technica M50 instead for a closed back headphone

Its based on different tuning normally the UM3x is tuned more for monitoring =)

TF10 pro is more recessed in the mids whereas the W3 is more recessed on the highs and have pretty heavy bass. =)
