Quote: Many thanks for the reply. I placed $600 as the maximum budget as I would need to take into account these things: 1. Sales tax: 10% 2. Shipping from US to Malaysia: Minimum of $25 3. Conversion rate: 1USD = MYR3.1   So following this, for $600 spent, I guess I would have...

As a matter in fact, I do prefer open back. But I do appreciate more choices before I pull the trigger. =) Many thanks!

Alright. Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I will go read some reviews here before I do make up my mind. Right now, I seem to favor the AKG Q701. But I am intested in the HE400 as well. I guess it would be best to read about my purchases ahead. Many thanks

Thanks for the input. Actually, I have narrowed down the list as some of the phones that he suggested is actually what I wanted to buy in the first place. My list include the beyers, senns and Q701 that he suggested. But it seems that I am gonna add the HE-400 to my list. It would take a few...

Hi there, please help me out with some recommendation for my home set up.   Rig: Laptop > Foobar 2000(Will be playing mostly FLAC and 320kbps MP3) > Schiit Modi & Magni > Headphone Usage: Music & Gaming(FPS) Genre: Non audiophile collection  consisting of the following : Rock, Alternative...

Quote: Alrighty. HE-400 is priced at around $400 USD correct? Which means I won't need to use all my budget on them. But will my amp power them? And would the HE400 be suitable for my taste of music? I need to depend a lot on reviews as I can't demo them before purchase. Thanks. 

Quote: Woops!! Yup. I am new. Long time lurker.  Thanks for the reply though. I think I will post my requirements there. 

Quote: Thanks for the recommendation. How does the Q701 fair with Rock genres? I was initially interested in them as I heard that they have little to no bass for the genre? But I read that they reproduce the acoustics and classical in a heavenly manner though.

Woops! Sorry, I didn't use the search button when I was posting a new thread. Still a newbie here. 

Bump^^

Hi there, Does the PYST $20 PYST cable come in pairs or do I need to purchase 2 of them(1 left and 1 right)?   Thanks.

Hi guys,  I am new here. I recently lost my SE535 nozzle cleaning tool. I am wondering if there is anywhere I could buy it? How bad would a dirty nozzle affect the sound of the SE535? A little help on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Quote: Alright, I do hope I can find those pair of IEM. Thank you so much for the suggestions. And just to be clear, I want something that I can use for casual listening as well. Thanks. =)

Hi, Thanks for the feedback but too bad, I don't think I have those available in my country (I live in Malaysia!!). And just for the record, I have a around MYR1800+ budget cap (roughly $600). Any other recommendations? I know the shop sells IEM has Shures, Sennheiser, UE, Westone...
