Headphones Thread

[zeikphur]

Hi guys, not much of an audiophile, but I do appreciate uninterrupted audio enjoyment and quality listening when it comes to music.
A space for indulging the mind so to speak. Just a show of hands, what headphones you guys are using.

I had 2 Sennheiser CX300 previously, gave up when the wire keep breaking internally causing 1 side sound only.

Currently using Creative EP-660 - cheap and good to me although i prefer CX300.

Tested the Bose Q3 (i think) recently, those big headphones and noise blocking type, wah really not bad, not cheap though.

Using a pair of Shure SE215



Damn solid, the most expensive earphones I ever bought but the best as well. I'm not so much into clarify but I get to enjoy my music/movies on MRT without any form of external noise.

i prefer IEM for small to carry around, my current would be westone

headphone prefer to use at home pair with good amp, if i'm crazy enough i'd go for beyerdynamic t90 for the best natural sounds and overall performance

Using OE2 Headphones by Bose.



Solid Bass and real comfy, only problem is that my ears tend to get hot after some time.

I use a Grado Labs iGrado for portability and use a Grado Labs SR80 at home

Excellent quality by far and been holding up to my expectations for the past 6 yrs

Wow! Beyerdynamic & Grado, high-end stuff bros
My colleague just bought a pair of beats by dr dre headphones and swears by their quality and such.
Tested it on some drum and bass tracks, pretty muffled when the volume was turned up.
Conclusion, you are probably getting 30% worth from its price tag, the rest are just paying from endorsement.

beats by dr dre imo is a fashion statement, quality you get doesn't justify the price tag.

Tru Dat my friend

Am currently looking at Parrot Zik.
Any bros tried 'em on?

[david.tan]

parrot zik is another fashion and "high-tech" headphone, sounds quality for me is just so so, for the price you can go with any beyer or audiotechnica, or my favor denon D2000 for the price tag

Do share what you hoot.
I am looking at a pair of headphones/earphones too.

[KKFA]

Can go to Jaben at Aldephi or Stereo at Plaza Sing/Ion. They have lots of headphones that you can try. Bring the music that u like and the system (Ipod or whatever) that u will be using. Try until u like then decide to buy there or elsewhere. No obligations.

Enjoy the hunt!

Hearsay
Warranty for bayers are not honoured from Jaben as they got their stocks from other sources.
Not verified info but something I read when reading from forums.
