Hello, i am looking for a headphone. The term best i use refer to the best in overall raging from long lasting to sound to looks to everything. Currently i am looking at the sennheiser momentum 2.0.

I will be listing out my requirements
My budget is $500 usd
I listen to rock, vocal,jazz to EDM
i am looking for closeback
It has to be wireless and the bluetooth connection must be good
It has to have a way to run when the batter is down(cable or allow me to swap the battery)
Comfort is something im looking at too
Need not be very pretty but durable and does not take up much space
Haha i cant think of anything more at the moment, i will update if there's more requirement.

Thank you

The newest Parrot Zik 3.0 you can take a look also, better and lighter than the 1st. If you can find places still finding the 2nd version should still go for it if the price is good, 1st one don't bother its just too heavy.

Hi I am looking for recommendations for headphones (wired preferably)

Budget: Around $300 (Can go slightly higher)
Music Genres: Rock/Acoustic with focus on vocals, EDM

It will be good if they are more comfortable as my previous Marshalls were too tight. Good design with monochrome colors will be appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Ya i see Gold one always OOS, only have Silver... :(

How abou this: Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro

And the other model from Xiao Mi: Link
the pro ones i havent tried before i have their like 1st version sia haha

but based on their past success the new one should not be bad also

thanks bro. if spoil alrd, which earpiece do u recommend me to get? listen mostly to edm
die sia i dont really listen to edm, but edm i believe you need something more v shaped sounding?

dunu should have a few v shaped sound one and maybe the jvc fxt 90.

- Your rig: samsung phone
- What type of usage: music
- File format used in your source: mostly mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: all kinds tbh
- Headphone / earphone type: in ear
- Other requirements: no vol control, preferably pink
- Budget: $400

Thanks
pink color =o dun recall seeing much good ones in pink.

best chance to have is beats they used to suck but have upped their game since their first version. but beats usually comes with volume control and mic

or try atomic floyd see if got pink or not

where can try ah.
doesnt seem to have noise canceling feature
bro i kinda busy these few days

but just a quick share because my blog havent up the post yet on the U Jays

quite v shaped sound laid back on vocals, too many instrument playing together the acoustics usually gets covered up first so i believe they are more v shaped

still burning them in to see if it help even things out

not much headstage, cant feel the depth and direction of stuff but can hear details separated nicely.

Pros
changeable earpads and cable
lightweight and soft earpads
non heavy clamping force

Cons
a little small hopefully they can make a bigger earpad version for around ear use
must wear properly to get the good sound, was lying in bed listening and it goes off easily but at least it doesnt clamp on your ears

Hi im looking for a wireless on ear headphone to use while doing my work etc. Playing music.

Budget is 300$.

Im thinking about the Plantronics Backbeat sense. Can get it for 200 SGD on amazon and then ship over to SG using logistics services, is it worth it? or get something else?

I heard that its good because there is no fatigue when wearing the headphones over a period of time.

Recommendations and comments welcomed!
