Any headphones to recommend for movies watching at night with connection to TV and able to connect wireless to mobile set for MRT ride ? So far seem like it is mainly for TV or mobile connection.

Hi! Since you intend to use it as well in the gym, you might want to consider getting those sweat-resistant earphones and we have the Sennheiser and Yurbuds range. You can also take a look at Jabra Rox that is a wireless sweat-resistant earphones and is having a 10% off retail price with a free hard casing. Audition units are available in both Stereo stores for demo.

On the other hand, we do not carry the replacement pads for ATH-ESW9. You might want to check with their service centre:

Hi chevalier88! For the genre of songs you're listening, you can consider JVC FX-T90 and Fischer Audio Consonance V.2. If you prefer those with stronger bass, you can take a look at the latter, it also has built-in mic for hands-free talking; the former will have a more extended treble, more transparent mids and wider soundstage. FX-T90 is now having a special price promotion of $168 (usual $209) while Consonance V.2 has a 10% off retail price. Feel free to visit us and audition the demo sets.

If you can stretch the budget a bit, one of the good choices will be the Jabra Rox. Just in time that this model is having a 10% off retail price for this month plus a free hard case for better protection. I find it comfortable to use, has good isolation and quite flexible for different genre of music. You can also make use with this earphone the exclusive sound app from Jabra. Battery life can lasts up to 5.5 hours and has built-in microphone for hands-free talking and music control. Audition unit is available in both Stereo stores.

Well, still quite alot of options so don't worry. For a start, perhaps a budget to work on and what kind of music and/or sound you are looking for? Good all rounders to consider to be the JVC HA-FX850, Audio Technica ATH-IM03 and Westone W20 to name a few. Do drop by and try them out at our stores.

The M100 is still out of stocks. We do have the latest model the Vmoda XS which is a slightly smaller and portable version which you may consider. Demos are available in our stores.

Other than the previous 2 models that we suggested, a few models like the Audio Technica ATH-CKS99, ATH-IM70 and Jays a-Jays five are worth checking out.

Hi, my headset cable just snapped after years of usage so looking to purchase a new one. Anything good to recommend?

- What type of usage: gaming primarily. Also will be used for movies and music but primary concern is gaming.
- File format used in your source: typically MP3
- Genre of music you listen to: rock mainly
- Headphone / earphone type: no preference
- Other requirements: no preference, if any with mic will be a bonus
- Budget: 100-200, can be stretched a bit but primarily looking for value.

For your requirements, Audio Technica ATH-IM50 will be the one that can suit you, though you need to check the IEM housing if it will fit to your ears. If you don't mind those not over the ear type, you can consider JVC FRD60 (with special price promotion of $49, usual $109) and the Fischer Audio Consonance V.2 (with 10% off discount). Feel free to visit either of our stores to try the demo sets. Cheers!

-Sansa Clip+ RB
-Music
-Flac and some mp3
-Classical, Jazz, Instrumental, Symphonic metal, Rock (mixture really but none of the headbanging stuff)
-IEM w/ detachable cable. Non bassy or heavy bass earphone.
-Less than 300 preferably below 250. Don't mind topping a bit more though.

Currently using AF Tandem. Loved it but the cable design is bad. The cloth protection would cause sharp kinks. Had to cut the cloth to ease the tension that could damage the cables. Though perhaps it might be a user problem.
