Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[Hailgod]

Great deal bro! Enjoy your new toy

Actually, i only just bought this headset today @$63.7 Great price for a comfortable and very well designed headset. Also, the audio quality is awesome. Even though digital surround sound is not supported, razer's free surround 7.1 software helped me with it.

any bluetooth headset for sports use to recommend? over ear preferred.

Hi!

Since you prefer over the ear bluetooth headset for sports, you might want to try the Jabra Sports + and Jaybird Bluebuds X. If you don't mind those not over the ear ones, other choice would be the Yurbuds Inspire Wireless.

I also suggest to try them out first and see which one you are most comfortable at in terms of fitting, and of course to hear the sound as well. Both our outlets have demos for audition.

Recommendation for portable headphones, budget $100

Hi people,

I wanna seek some help from the hardwarezone public! I am intending to get a set of headphones for listening to music from my handphone. The headphone should be reasonably comfortable (like 1 hour journey or slightly longer?) and hopefully has some form of noise isolation (need not be complete isolation) so as to be able to hear it even in the noisy MRT. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi!

Can I ask which one would you prefer - around the ear or those on ear headphones? Also, the genre of music your listening to?

Genre of music: mainly mandarin pop songs.
I would prefer around the ear, but on the ear should be fine. I think comfort and decent sound quality is what i am looking for.

Hi stereo, I need recommendations for an earphone and I know nuts about them.

- Your rig) iPhone 5s
- What type of usage) music mainly
- File format used in your source) mp3?
- Genre of music you listen) EDM and indie
- Headphone / earphone type) earphone, inner ear type
- Other requirements) volume control
- Budget $200

Hope you can help me find a decent inner earphone with decent bass as I listen to EDM most of the time, it would be good that there's volume control that works with the iPhone.


Thanks!!

Any recommendation for headphones budget around 500+- with preference for deep bass?

I have a audio technica ath bb500 for my traveling purpose as it is a round neck headphone but am looking for a richer listening experience this time round.

I listen to anything which includes classical, jazz and pop.

Any help will be deeply appreciated

Hi! For around the ear headphone, you might want to consider the Audio Technica ATH-M30X and if you can stretch the budget a bit, you can take a look at Sennheiser HD449. Something smaller, more portable and on-the-go can be the Audio Technica WM77 and Audio Technica ATH-S500. If you prefer with fuller bass, you can consider the ATH-WM77 as what I have noticed when I tried them, and quite comfortable too.

I would suggest for you to try these different models to actually have a feel on where you will be most comfortable and to hear their differences as well.

Hi there! For your requirements, you can consider Audio Technica ATH-CKS99i and A-Jays 5 IOS. Personally, if I compare these two models, I find that the A-Jays 5 is more balanced and the ATH-CKS99i has fuller bass.

Hi! For your situation, you can consider Sennheiser Momentum which I find very comfortable with good isolation. Also, the AKG Tiesto K267, which has adjustable bass boost and the Ultimate Ears UE 6000 which is an active noise cancelling headphone and is suitable for in-flight use as well.

- Your rig) Nexus 5 / Nexus 7
- What type of usage) music and movies
- File format used in your source) 320kbps streamed music from kkbox
- Genre of music you listen) Pop / Soft Rock music
- Headphone / earphone type) Prefer In ear with over the ear cables (similar to my current UE 600vi)

Currently on UE600vi, but looks like going to be spoilt very soon. Looking for a good or better replacement for it. Was looking at Westone talk series but not sure if that's a good choice.

Any other good recommendations?

Hi! You can actually consider the Westone Adventure Series Alpha which already has mic and volume control on it, but of course the volume control is meant for Apple products. Other over the ear choices would be the Shure SE215 SPE and the Westone W10. Westone W10 comes with two cables inside the packaging, one is with mic and the other one is without.

Hi! Perhaps you might want to take a look at Fischer Audio Bullet 6MM, which I find comfortable to use as well. Other models you can take a look at are Sennheiser CX300II and the other model from Fischer Audio as well, which is the Consonance V.2. This one also has a microphone which you can use to your Samsung S4 for answering calls and skipping of music tracks.

Since you prefer those clear sounding type of earphones, probably you can consider the Fischer Audio Bullet 6MM. Personally I would prefer the clarity for this model and the bass is just nice, more controlled so it is also not fatiguing to the ears.

You can drop by our stores to audition the demo sets and they can definitely help you decide.

You can consider the Ultimate Ears UE900 and Westone W20 which comes with mic for your iPhone 5s. There are more options if you don't require the mic function. The Audio-Technica latest models ATH-IM03 and ATH-IM04 are great choices as well as Unique Melody's Marvel. Demos are available at our stores so do feel free to drop by and try them out.
