Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

I planned to go there also. Thought of trying Astrotec AM-90 and also the other Vsonic ard that range.

Can share with me which IEM you tests there? Why choose and buy that final IEM? Thanks

Tested GR07 n Dunu Trident there before, but really no point.. U can't really enjoy testing there. Got dunu trident for a friend.

yea you will feel that "invisible pressure" auditioning there

no choice, Stereo doesn't stock any VSonic stuff (hope they do so in the future though)

Hi.
Do you guys have any recommendations on which earphones should i buy?

A cheap and decent one.
- Normal kind. Like the iphone original earphones, not the in-ear ones.
- Budget less than $50

Used to have sennheiser mx400 i think.. Just need a normal one.
Bought a few no branded ones at Qoo10 but the volume of the earphones is very low.

Can try the Philips SHE3590 =) very good sound at its price

Need new DAP to go with Westone 4R. Any suggestions below $500? Usual FLAC + mp3. SQ is most important, followed by battery life.

Cowon Z2? =)

Hi, what about the Vsonic GR07,is it good??

Not bad but not as full sounding as UM3x really have to test it out - since can try both at Plaza Singapura can drop by!

As mentioned, the only place in Plaza Singapura that you can find it is in Toy Outpost

Can imagine how the staffs will look at you while testing

Thanks for the update. Cheers

Thank you.
But i'm searching for the normal type of earphone, not the in-ear ones.
Just my own preference.

Used to have a-jays three and thinking to replace it since it has failed (Didn't really like it, as it feels painful after wearing it sometime). I usually jog with the earphones too. Gurus here can recommend me.

- Your rig - Handphone / Tablet
- What type of usage - Music and Movies
- File format - MP3
- Genre of music - Any Music usually Classical / Hip hop / R&B / Techno
- Headphone / earphone type - IEM
- Other requirements (if any) - MIC if possible
- Budget (in figures) - $100 might stretch abit

UE400vi/vm, TDK EB950

check compatibility before buying, and Stereo stocks them both so you can try to see if the controls work

- Genre of music you listen to (KPOP, R&B, ballad, JPOP)
- Headphone / earphone type (IEM, earbud)

well your budget doubled?

If so get the Hifiman RE400 if no need mic

If need mic Meelec A161p

Hi, thanks for ur help. Is UE350vi compatible with samsung phones? Read that some functions might not be supported. What are the functions that might not be supported

If i up my budget, will UE400vi/vm be a better choice?

well yea it would be better to get the UE400vi/vm if you up the budget

the functions which will not be supported...probably the remote control thing

you can test it out though, Stereo should have them for audition, you can try using it there to see if it works with your phone
