Sent from microwave oven using GAGT

the usual suspects im50 im70, but strong recommend u to try Dunu titan 1. I THINK its just below $200 and its a semi open design therefore its not noice isolated. But i think it works wonders for orchestra give it a shot E1 has demos

Hi, i wanted to know if getting a ciem is really worth the price, how long would it take before a reshelling is needed when the ear canal changes? Was thinking of the alclair reference, but dont know where to get them, anybody point me in the right direction? I have the Vsonic GR07 Classics, ATH M50x, Sennheiser HD201 + Fiio E3. Source: computer or sansa clip+ or HTC One M8(thinking of getting a fiio x1). 320kbps and flacs, i do live sound too. And no i cant REALLY tell the difference between flac and wav if you are wondering. Not much between flac and 320 either.

 

[commandowolf]

m50x mrs7 or r70x GO or massdrop k7xx

Wah bro you working in studio mixing stuffs or just like studio kinda headphones? Hahaha it all depends on your sound sig preference, i have the M50x, they say M50x is the bass heavy, M70x is mid heavy, msr7 is the high heavy lol. R70x for open reference design, dont recommend unless you really need it, i like neutral sound sig, but wont get an open back unless i working in studio or live in quiet places. Massdrop k7xx if worth the money you can get it, audition if can first lol im pretty sure there are people who bought it in sg.

Budget: <$150

Thanks.

Wired: Audio Technica ATH - Sport 3 $68 Stereo or challenger both oso have. Even if spoil not so heartbreak.

Wireless you can look at sony walkmans range, all not bad but above your budget i think, if under $150 i dont think is good buy for wireless, unless you dont mind lousy review pay for brand kind, i can think of the Soul Flex... Maybe others will know

 

[commandowolf]

Anyone know a iem that is similar to im02 sound signature but smaller in size?

Going for analytical sound sig? You could go for the Vsonic GR07 Classic, $125SGD on lendmeurears.com! I have them, could call it a slightly more 'fun' neutral if that makes sense to you. Recommended by joker on headfi/theheadphonelist too! theheadphonelist.com

Edit: yeah on his recommended buyers guide also have Etymotic HF5, its good, but unless you like deep insert, its gonna be a pain in the ass...

Like everyone says, go down and audition if can. If cannot well... Read reviews. Me personally i say the RHA M750(non-I) cos u using android lol compatibility issues yea and another point of failure if have water, but to each his own! Even though bass heavy but doesnt mean you will like the entire sound sig of all three.

Recommend please

- Your rig: Desktop
- What type of usage: Music
- File format used in your source: 320kpbs, flac
- Genre of music you listen to: Pop songs
- Headphone / earphone type: headphone
- Other requirements (if any):
- Budget: 300~400

Any specific sound sigs you like? Spend so much on headphone but have a good DAC? Hahaha lol, is portability an issue? You can search on headfi too, generally dont need to spend so much if just listening pop songs only, most songs are mastered poorly, loudness wars etc. Ymmv, i hate pop. If anything, having good headphones will make you hate pop cos of the details and distortion coming through from badly mastered songs.

http://theheadphonelist.com/earphone-buyers-guide/ can check this out for ideas first, i personally think sennheiser momentum in ear will be good for you, ymmv. J-pop and rock normally V-shaped sound sig better. Can check out stereo.com.sg for more choices too!

Hello friends,

Hope you can help me out here. Been reading Amazon reviews and youtube reviews but still can't decide.
Initially I was keen on the Creative WP-250, Bose sound-link and the Jabra move. Went to Jaben and think most BT headphones are out of my budget.

My requirements
1. Comfortable (not need for mobility)
2. Does not have AV sync lag with my MacBook air
3. Around SGD 250 thereabout
4. Primarily used for watching video tutorials / instructional videos (YouTube and local MP4 files) for long hours

Can recommend three suitable headphones?

Lol must it be wireless? If anything i think the jabra move and revo is decent... BT headphones under $250 no have meh? Lol
