Please recommend a headphone for me

[lilalilo 0]

G.day, but

I'm looking for a really really really good headphone for music ( I'm a music freak ),or watching movies,etc. I'm into rock,and metal stuffs, especially My Chemical Romance (they ain't metal though ). Would you all recommend me a headphone please ? And where can i get it ?

More details : + now I'm using a sony-ericsson phone and it's also my mp3 player .

+ Can i walk around the street with an headphone on my head lol ? Is it weird ? At first i was considering an portable one, but i'd like decent sounds so i going to an headphone xD

+ My budget is less than 150 S$ ( A bit too low isn't it )

Thanks by the bottom of my heart ( in advance )

Sorry i'm a stranger about all this stuff so maybe i'm a bit naive please dun mind

actually u can try some entry level IEM's like E2c/um1

and its not a crime to bring a headphone on the go walking on the streets (although some ppl will stare at u more)

i did bring my big sony XD300 out last time

and headphone wise for your budget u can get Grado Sr60 or AKG 81 DJ both are quite good for ROCK

You may want to post in the portable audio subforum for more response, since you are mainly looking at portable audio.

 

I'd recommend the K81DJ, as it is closed, but it is always good to try it before buying it.

and jaben in Aldephi opposite funan

But where can i get the K81DJ and SR60 anyway ? What is the price ?

Sorry for being such a bother ^_________^

[Xiao_Catz 0]

as stated above Stereo which is located in causewaypoint

or Jaben which is located in adelphi opposite funan

stereo can let u test the headphones not sure about jaben

the price of Sr60 will be $120 and 81DJ should be around $108

probably if you could up your budget abit e.g. $20 u can get the MS -1

[Xiao_Catz 0]

actually Grado are more for ROCK genre then alassandro

if you're using for outdoor, please please think twice about getting open cans, which include the grado range.

[Xiao_Catz 0]

but depends one la some ppl dun mind using open cans outside

[lilalilo 0]

Oh yea thanks so much probably i'll use it outdoor so i should choose 81DJ , since it's closed right ? And i also don't like Sr60's style !

or u can try Senn's HD 121 pro or EH250 also

Try the iGrado well within your price range. And good for rock too. Music By Design has them (they are at 2nd level Adelphi).

open cans for out-door use isn't TOO practical.

 

you have noise leaking in and blaring out

 

got the K81's, for rock and metal, their bass is astounding, and at that price range, i believe almost totally unbeatable!i know, cause i had totally the same criteria as you, and did tons of research for those cans.

 

do try out the beyer 131 galatica as well, they are as good as the K81's and do not have the killer grip

and if you are considering IEMs, do go try out the DTX50

[Xiao_Catz 0]

if u consider IEM might as well u go for E2C or u add $9 more to either get an um1 or sf3 both cope quite well when playing *helena*

cans wise 81DJ's grip and its bass can give u a real headache after use

or u can try ATH ES7 which is somewhere around your budget also*correct me if i am wrong* and its one of the chiorest cans around
