Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[jokerpoker81]

Hi to all audio experts.....

Other than Sony MDR-ZX750BN/B or MDR-ZX550BN, what other wireless noise cancellation models of other brands are available ?...budget is around $200 - $300 only, so Bose ( good but far too ex ), Beats ( overrated ) are out.

Sony's models seems to be on ear model and needs to be charged......are there any on ear models using AAA batteries instead ?

If it is still under warranty you can try checking with its respective service centre, see what help they can offer, if needs to pay for the repair then you can weigh which one will be better for your case - either to repair or buy a new one. I believe you can still get another IEM that will suit to your liking, still a lot of fishes in the ocean.

If budget won't constraint you, you can check the latest from JVC which is the FX1200, Audio-Technica ATH-IM02/ IM03 and Shure SE315. Try them out first in our stores.

No worries. I personally find the Audio-Technica ATH-CKS1000 having a fuller bass that also suits the genre of songs I'm listening (Trance, Pop, RnB, etc.) but I like the clarity of mids for the JVC FXZ100, very soothing and sounds more neutral to me. I guess you just need to sum up which one really matters for you the most and is suitable for the genre of songs you're listening to. Feel free to audition them first in stores (last day of promotion today). Hope this helps.

You can consider the Sennheiser PMX685i or you can go for wireless bluetooth like Jabra Rox, Plantronics Backbeat Go 2 or the new model from JBL, the Reflect BT which also goes behind the head/ neck and entirely no cables can go or tangle in front. All of these models are also sweat-resistant that can be your workout buddy.

Visit us soon and audition them first.
