decibel 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Hello guys, looking for headphones now for my Muvo2 and possibly Zen touch in the near future. Anything which fits my needs along these lines? - Single sided cord - Budget of ard $150 or less - Not too big and unwieldy, looks pleasant when worn (prefer a dark colour like black) - Be able to reach a moderately high volume as i'm quite deaf - Comfortable I listen to only electronica on the move so bass quality is extremely important. Think thats all for now. TIA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea on prices for the Sony cans? And am i right though to say that these are more of studio headphones than portable ones? Cuz I've used the V6s before and i think that carrying them to school everyday would be a problem..No doubt they sound good though Edited July 23, 2004 by decibel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evo 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 i tot his budget is ard $150 shure e2c if u don't mind in ear, good isolation, bass not as good as v6, but low profile [plus no headband depression on your hair after taking off fones] got to stretch budget to S$170plus though actually v6 is around that price, if u can find them, tried v6 b4 during meet [thanx q00], the bass is addictive cord is coiled like home phone cable though, not sure if that will bother u another contender is senn hd280, near your price range [convert from us pricing] but not sure about pricing here, hung bros again? dt231, tried briefly, cups don't surround my ears, although velour is nice, hung bros listening station playing classical music so can't really test out Audio-Technica ATH-A500 looks quite big huh? maybe not for portable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekguan 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 PX200 is pretty decent unless you want to max out your budget. Might want to spend more on a better discman/more new CDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decibel 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Thanks for all the info guys. Decided i really want a single sided cord and strictly headphones. How much are the Sony V6s and are they available at hung bros? I hear pretty good things about the beyer dt231s also, anyone know how much these cost too? Cheers!

lekguan 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2004 By the way what kind of MP3s you using it with? If you are using them with downloaded (ehem) MP3s, u'd end up hoping u had stuck with the stocks. Of course if you ripped them from CDs, it would not be a problem as long as the bitrates are high enonugh (LAME encoder alt preset standard is already v good) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
