Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[blopne]

Recommendations?

- Your rig: iPod touch, Samsung S3 and Lenovo Yoga 13
- What type of usage: music, US and Kdramas
- Genre of music you listen to: electronic (The XX), indie (Tennis)
- Headphone type: IE
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc) no mic, noise-cancelling and sound quality priority. Good bass.
- Budget (in figures) ~100

I was using Fisher Audio Consonance but it died on me. Love the one-year warranty though. Changed it and died on me again after a year. Didn't like it is fabric - it gets wet when exercising.

- Your rig (mp3 players, amps, soundcard etc) --> HTC One XL Beats audio, MBP
- What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc) --> Music and video when on MBP
- File format used in your source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc) --> mp3 mostly,
- Genre of music you listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc) --> Broad range, mixed of all types would prefer solid bass, above normal for higher sounds
- Headphone / earphone type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc) -->IEM
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc) --> tougher than my old- BrainWaves
- Budget (in figures) --> SGD $90 to SGD $120 [ however, if slight above the upper range, i just need the justification over my budget mind, e.g tougher or well all-rounder-which can last ]


Thank y'all for the time, in advance.


Hopefully can get the purchase later on from Plaza Sing, yes, im looking at a certain sig as of this moment lmao

Haha, thanks again for the recommendation . gotten the UE400.....

must say, it does what it says, noise isolation, damn, first time i'm able to listen my own heart beat under noisy environment haha

some funny moments, the guy who assisted with the purchase asked :

- what do you have in mind? I replied UE400, which then i asked the difference between 400 and 350, and he managed to tell me in laymen terms without hidden agenda.

- during transaction, he asked, so where did you gotten the recommendation? : from hwz....lolz......
I added : well there was another china/ taiwan brand which the folks here recommended......er......( he :dunu arh ) haha

- finally, i asked about the feedback when he mentioned to call should i need any one to one exchange......which surprisingly he says its a hotseller


haha....some strange stroke of luck today,

anyways, gotten a excellent and satisfied purchase

props to the casiher

lols, lmao,

same situation, just that my UE400 left side, intermittently produces sounds, guess the wire broke,

Need new recommendations folks haha, sure takes me back

If you're used to the sound signature of the UE400, the most direct upgrade would be the UE600vi. However the remote control on it might not be 100% compatible with your HTC. But the remote will work fine on the MBP.

It is the way the manufacturer describes them. If compare with the UE400, the clarity and detail of the UE600vi is higher.

You can consider the UE600vi as mentioned to another forumer earlier.

Most headphones/earphones with mic can be used with the adaptor.

Thanks. Actually was looking to try other brands. How does SL99S, JVC HA-FRD80-Z and MMX101IE stack up against one another? In terms of clarity, detail and cable durability?
