Just wondering, how much is the ER-4P in Singapore. Was thinking of buying one, but not too sure if its more worth it to buy over Amazon and vpost or get locally. Want to know how much the local warranty is "worth". Is it selling at both Jaben and Stereo? I'm not that into cables, but are there any cheap ones that can be worn over the ear? The APS cable seems wayyy too expensive to stomach. I'm coming from an 3 year old shure e4c. I've RMAed it twice, resoldered the jack once, but my cable has cracked completely through now and the set is unusable. Now considering between ER-4P and UM3x. The ER-4P sounds much more accurate, but if it can't be worn over the ear (without buying expensive cables), i'm going with the UM3x.

Just read more reviews, jaben seems to be out of stock for the m50 and k271, so i will prolly go audition them in 2 weeks time. I believe the k271 is around $250, but the m50 is much cheaper. Any reason for the large price differential? Has anyone compared the two directly? More or less given up on hd280 and dt770 based on the reviews i got online. The hd280 seems to be not very well liked, and the dt770 prolly has too much bass for a studio phone. Oh and one more thing, coming from the background of the the Shure e4c IEM, what kind of changes would i be expecting. I always thought that IEMs sacrificed much of their sound quality for size. Thanks so much for the comments guys.

Okae thanks. Will definitely go and audition them, probably at jaben i guess...

Sorry, im quite a noob here, but where would i be able to check out the AKG k271 and the m50. Would like to compare the few. WatCult, where would bluetin be?

hi WatCult. how much did you get your m50 for and from where. how durable is it?

I am doing quite a bit of work in a home studio, and im trying to choose a pair of headphones for the occasional midnight mix(to keep me on good terms with my neighbours) and tracking. Currently on Shure e4c, but alot of the people who use the studio complain about having to stick something into their ears, so aiming largely at a circumaural cans. My budget would be around $200+ I have four candidates, beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, AKG K 271 Studio and Audio Technica ATH-M50. Im looking for somthing flat sounding, comfy with spectacles, and capable of being driven by my M-Audio Firewire 410 and the occasional mp3 player. How do these four models compare, and should i be considering something else. I also hope somebody can furnish the rough prices of a new set in Singapore. I am leaning abit towards the m50, so anyone has used this set. Thanks in advance
