Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[TeamStereo]

So I will bring the product myself to the respective service center? What if there are no local service centers for that brand?

That's right. Which headphones do you have? I will help you check.

I'm thinking whether to buy from local stores or through amazon. Just checking.

Hi. Used to use a ATH-CKS77X bought from Stereo but unfortunately I have misplaced it. Am open to other recommendations for a change!

What type of usage: Music / Playing music through musical instrument / Music editing
- File format used in your source: Mp3 / Wav
- Genre of music you listen to: Pop, Rock, Band
- Headphone / earphone type: In-ear
- Other requirements: Need a substantial cable length as sometimes plug into instrument. Needs to have a good ability to listen to sounds from all frequencies as I need to be able to ascertain the different layers of music in a band setup.
- Budget: <$150

Based from your requirements, one of the good options is the Fischer Audio Eterna Pro. Clear mids, controlled and tight bass that are good for the genre of songs you're listening. This IEM is to be worn over the ears and microphonics can be lessened this way. You can put the cables behind so no interruption as well from the front and so when you walk, cables wouldn't thump on your body.

Just nice that we are having a special price promotion for this model at $68 (usual $108). Do visit us when you're free to try them on.

Hey thanks, just went there yesterday, tried the GR07, dunno why everyone said it's way better then shure, i actually found my shure better. GR07 somehow has this problem where by it sounded a bit flat and also it's too clear. I dunno how to explain but its the same prob with my dba02 last time. Like the separation of music is way too clear till it's quite boring.

I suppose this is what it meant when we say some audio rigs sounds "more musical" than some others. Of course we love resolution and accuracy but sometimes at a risk of sounding too clinical with the music sounding "soulless"
