hmm mix style looks like a budding skullcandy =X

i dun remember es7 was 248 new eh.. i thought it was like 220?

portapro price is 79.90 mah, but may go lower at other places. hehe

wheee wear portapros later become bald =D

and i just realised chicky is junliang. lol. HI!

and yeap, 2nd hand es7 pretty easy to find at low price. ive seen 100bucks before, and its barely used for 2months or so. haha

what in the world is MIX STYLE.

if you want designs, ear pollution, skullcandy, zumreed, some sumajin ones i think.

but porta pro wld be good in both departments if you like the design... theres limited edition for 25th anniversary and then theres a red edition.

anyway whats ur budget uh

what about at's fc700 in red?

Ya, saw that a few days ago when i googled.

The design is indeed a head turner but looks weird if u wear in sg?

Anyway where in sg do they have big collection of skullcandy?

Stereo. causeway point and plaza sing both have 1 branch

i think the adidas one needs to be ordered online. just search adidas x sennheiser on google and then look around see if there are any for sale?

lol. here it is. adidas x senn http://www.sneakerfreaker.com/newsflash/Adidas-X-Sennheiser

dunno if you'll like it though, seems more guy-ish to me. anyway the hd25-1 II is the sennheiser's flagship portable headphones, quite popular for recommendations, so after pairing up with adidas, it most definitely will look better, and retain its great audio quality.

btw, clamping force from the es7 can be reduced. headband mod, or just clamp it on a thick pile of books over night.

es7 - mirror

esw9 - wood

onto - candy colours

adidas X sennheisers hd25-1 II - sports look? guyish loook? dunno lah

IEM = In Ear Monitors

basically those small little 'speakers' inserted into the ears instead of headphones being on the ears.

earbuds - stock stuff from ipod

iem - those that look like earbuds but with a stub that goes into the ears, you know those stuff that comes with sony ericsson phones

headphones - you know liao lah

ladies should appreciate audio technica's es7 cos it has mirror! whahahahah

and if you like wood, esw9

and then sennheiser's teaming up with adidas to remake the flagship hd25-1 II so it will look pretty good. i hope. lol

and then you can go about collecting onto in all its colours LOL

lol. what you wan. reshell metrofi =D

oh wait are those reshell-able anyway. lol

Don't bother trying noise cancelling they only work when you have constant noise

 

What you need here are custom earplugs

Price wise I think it's around $100

With those, it'll fit your ear perfectly and block out almost all noise. Comfort and silence

and then if you want audio, think of customs like livewires, JHaudio, or just reshell normal universals like sphb did with his um1.

okay combined cost lower than 280 then. lol.

lol! business got stolen eh. hmm i may get the TWcu cable for UE IEM and a TWag LOD, if combined cost lower than 200. =P so do some advertisement! find ppl for ur MO!

hey any update on the orders already placed for 2nd round? i wanna see how much discount i can get before i decide. thanks

ah, i would love to order the TWag for my tf10, but it isnt even here yet! AHHH

and mayb order 2 to recable my esw9 as well, which would cost a cool 400bucks. oh god. to think im gna spend half a thousand on pico slim..

shall i pass this and wait for the next MO? =X

a nice shop would be Jaben at adelphi, nice staff, plenty of headphones to try, and they tend to tell u to take ur time to try. although most of the time ppl get self poisoned and buy on the spot.

DJ and normal ipod headphones, not much of a diff i suppose. they all play music. =D

and ive heard of ortofones, never literally HEARD them so i wouldnt noe. but in any case, u dun rly have to bother about brands.

general rule of thumb : Does it sound good? Do you like it? Do you think its worth the money?

ALL YES, BUY IT!

Hmm the Denon looks rugged enough for everyday travelling usage, although i've never really tried them. However, do take a look at the Shure ones. I tried the 240, the soundstage was pretty good for a closed headphone, its very comfortable and certainly isolates noise pretty nicely. So for your budget, you could go for the 440, imagine the kind of improvement over the already very nicely built 240. =D

However, 1 bad thing about Shure is that it cannot be folded, so their large. But it really depends on how u wanna compare em with the Denon's. Portability-wise, denon wins. Sonic-capability wise, i wouldn't know, never tried Denon

So, i've been looking around for headphones, and until now i still don't really know what i want.

Basically,

1) Budget is <$100

2) Open or closed cans both fine with me

3) Not in a rush to buy, neither do i mind 2nd hand ones, so go ahead and reco any future ones coming up or sell me urs IF THEY'RE REALLY GREAT

4) Nearly forgot, they're for portable use.

btw, i won't mind if it has a portable amp thrown in

i listen to... country(taylor swift etc), rock, guns n roses, aerosmith, u2, some coldplay stuff, okay i listen to almost all genres except those drone, heavy metal, that kind of extremes la.

to get the ball rolling, i recently looked at audio technica's ath-sj3, which is really great and almost half of my budget. Also saw the fc700 which was great too. what do you guys think?

btw, if possible, please include price and place to buy for ur reco, will help me a ton. THANKS!
