    SOLD

    wanna trade for a crossroads 2? plus a top up for the IC from me as well
  2. search no more, the superfi5 EB is the bass king of them all dont be deceived by their initial sound, after burn in, it will sound MUCH better. if i am not mistaken stereo is clearing stock for those(which i think is quite unpopular) the superfi 5EB sounds like a pair of subwoofers attached to your head!!!
  3. heh heh heh, basshead, wait till you try a SF5EB with a portaphile.... the bass goes way deeper and is punches so much harder than the DTX50 TS: for $200, the UE3, Mylar X3, shure E2 should be within your range. go try them out at any of the stores that the other members listed. Mylar3 only available at jaben
  4. hahaa heady convince yourself he will destroy somemore in the near future, therefore you need to guard against an IEM-less day! therefore the justification! and its below $70, shouldnt be too difficult to justify!
  5. the bi-flanges fit me perfectly, and therefore i feel very comfortagle with them. the seal gives better bass and greater isolation for me. not strange to hear that you like your KSC75 better than your aurvana, there is this dude in head-fi who said that he was so satisfied with his KSC75, he didnt go search for any other headphones or IEMs after that!
  6. you should put a caption below that second cat photo"whatcha looking at young punk? never seen a cool cat before?" wow, blues really nice work you got there
  7. good value i think, the aurvana is retailing at $180 or so i think? BUT $80, is enough for a pair of Mylar3 and UE biflanges, which i believe top the aurvana. to be honest, i thought the aurvana is WAY over priced, doesnt deliver the sound for its price, would rather go with a superfi 3, which is even cheaper. but then again, if you like the aurvana's go ahead! we all listen differently and have different emphasis on what we want to listen to
  8. just get a Mylar3 and be done with it, i have heard it myself and did some comparison with the DTX50 and superfi 3. safe bet to say the Mylar3 wins these 2, bearing in mind these earphones are 2-3 times the price of the mylar3. Mylar3+ UE biflanges= cheap but wonderful audio bliss and less than $100 SGD
  9. strange no one has mentioned the ES-7. try that out as well, you get a free mirror and tons of style points by wearing THOSE on the streets. really great lows and vocals in my opinion

    IEM phones

    just go to jaben, or contact eugen3 on the forum about the Mylarones,for $40, you will be amazed, moreover with an amp, they really shine. of course your source must be good as well, no point amping 128KBPS songs IMO. since there will literally be no difference except for you being able to blast them at volumes you never heard before.

    Iron Maiden

    for me, its either piece of mind, or number of the beast, cant really say which i like more, in fact, i like almost everything that i have listened from them
  12. eh eugen3, you damn elite lah, first ms1, then barely 3 weeks, DT150 next thing we know, you say orpheus liao P.S you LOVE the Mylarones to bits and pieces eh not only do they sound good, they DO good
  13. what......then what are you doing in this forum!!!!!!!! zzzz my K750I has less than decent music production, even with a 352 KBPS file, i cant seem to find the mini jack adaptor.

    Iron Maiden

    any iron maiden album is worth your money. maybe except for virtual XI, which is quite bad. for their recent albums, eversince they have their 3 guitarist lineup, i would say they are great. brave new world, dance of death and a matter of life and death are all wonderful albums.tracks like the pilgrim,the reincartion of benjamin beerg and the longest day are simply awesome! try HMV or gramophone, would be surprised if they do not have it.
  15. go down to jaben, and ask uncle wilson to help you dig for an ancient pair of audio technica pro6. really good, discovered it when i was digging around his shelves. its in your price range. and to be honest, strong bass and clarity will compromise each other, for your budget, i havent found ANYTHING that has strong bass and good clarity for headphones. its always a compromise, strong bass, or good clarity. others may feel diffrently, its always your own ears to make the decision. try IEMs as well. for outdoor use, headphones may be a tad bulky and uncomfortable. note, the akg 81 has a REAL tight grip on your head, not a good idea if your ears are jutting out, they will clamp on your head like an engineer's vice.
  16. yeah, this hobbit is one basshead but SERIOUSLY, if you want bang for buck, it comes down to the TC20(which is difficult to find i think) or the Mylarones. if you are considering an amp, the price of the UM1 can get you a mylarone AND a crossroads 2. but the wisest thing that can be said, is to go down and listen, listen, and listen. dont BUY based on our recommendations, LISTEN to our recommendations, THEN make your own decision and buy that system works like a charm for me, and for alot of people, i would think.
  17. selling a DTX50, less than 2 months old got it for $135. looking for around $90 selling because i find it impractical to have 2 IEMs PM me, or sms me at 93670147 thank you
  18. never liked the UM1, maybe its because of my bass heavy music have you considered the crossroads Mylarones? cheap, good, and certainly one of the most bang for buck entry level canalphones.
  19. hmmm the NW E series has a very good headphone out. and to be honest, the only competitor i can see to the first gen shuffle in terms of headphone out. apparently the iaudio X5 is also comparable, however i have not heard of it, so i cant say anything. hmm is it possible your bass EQ is tuned way up? everything gets abit muffled when that happens, when its tuned up to the highest setting, and using the DTX50, its amazing you can hear music, the only thing you can hear is a low rumble that seems on the verge of blowing everything around you apart the bass is DEFINITELY there, the mids also so, the highs....erm..... but i STILL tihnk it has one of the better headphone outs in the market right now.
  20. hold on a minute. you have amp,lineout dock and IC. it works this way podie, attached the dock to the bottom of the podie, attached the interconnect to the lineout dock, and THEN attached it to the input of the amp, then headphone to the headphone out. so podie line out dock IC headphoneamp headphone clarified? the dock turns the bottom jack of the ipod into a lineout, in which u attached the IC and amp to.
  21. jaben doesnt sell MP3 players. you might wanna try farle at funan, heard its not bad. and sansa also has a shop there, so you might also check out their players as well, good SQ
  22. i agree with aaron, i am still waiting to try a pair of V6s, but cant find a pair. actually, i like sony products, after all, their flash based DAP's have one of the best unamped SQ in my opinion. hmm you might wanna take a look at other brands and makes. for $159, you can try stuff like UM1 DTX50 and the Mylarones, do go and try them out, you might find something u like better
  23. i woudl think the prices are closer to $120, from music by design at adelphi, havent heard of any place that sells them for $105
