The RHAs are a bit too pricey, liking the piston 2s though, look great and only 25 bucks... sweet. but are they a better choice over the hammerheads? (both will cost me the same as I'd have to get the pistons from overseas)   Also, how are these...

Hmm... Never heard of them before. Looked 'em up, They cost $99. Getting it shipped and all will cost me around $30 more, also they look sort of 'meh', not bad though. Are they worth the extra as compared to the razers? ($80 vs. ~$130)

My trusty sammy OEMs lost sound in the left bud last week, looking for IEMs preferably under $100... I Keep a pair of Sennheiser HD598s for my audiophile needs which I bought a few months back and absolutely love (planning to upgrade to the HD600s soon). However, I'm looking for something just...

I got my cans today...  Been trying them the whole day... First, the bass... I was worried that the bass would be crap but boy, there is WAY more bass then there is in my cheap in-ears... and these things even haven't been run in... I think this is the perfect headphone bass in my opinion... If...

Quote: OHHH... I see...  ... but no one I know is abroad... :'( I'm a VERY unlucky guy...    ALSO, I just prayed and ordered my hd 598's :D:D:D These will be my first real cans... Thank you guys alot for all the help and enlightment... I doubt I'll be disappointed... I'll tell you guys...

Quote: The world would be such a happy place to live in if someone did gift them to me :P... I do have rich friends, but the last gift I got from anyone of them was a membership to a local pizzeria (buy one get one free on all pizzas baby!!! )... xD

btw, I'm getting the 598's from here... http://www.vmart.pk/headsets-earphones-pakistan/#ty;pagination_contents;/headsets-earphones-pakistan/?sort_by=price&sort_order=desc ...

Quote: http://www.magiclamp.pk/index.php ... I think they order directly from Amazon, e.t.c... You can change the displayed price to dollars... They're selling 598's for $380 xD ... I guess for me its either the hd 598's or nothing... Please tell me if you find this jewel... 

Quote: They take 19% VAT on all overseas purchases... :(

Quote: I would love to save a 100 bucks/ explore other cans, but if you read I have a very limited choice :( ... I also can't order them from overseas the shipment and duty is just too much... The below site orders from amazon but they are selling the cans for Rs25,000 ($250)... :(...

Quote: Haha, my point was can these cans take a beating? like going to gigs, having jamming sessions 5 times a week, The occasional 'drop', e.t.c...

I've made up my mind... HD 598 it is... Just a few things I wanna ask now... how can you tell if its a fake( I don't trust this site THAT much), and how durable are these/how long will they last? I'm a VERY rough user... who knows, next thing you know I'm out doing Parkour with my 598's...

Quote:   Yes, I'm in a VERY limited choice...  Quote: The 558 is quite cheaper... Is there much difference between it and the 598? And I don't mind the bass... I guess if I get a good amp and tinker with the EQ a bit I can easily drive good bass from the hd598's... I prefer...

Quote: The website I use only sells Senns... HD 598, 558, 380 pro e.t.c... no sonys, grados, e.t.c... :( Which is the most 'neutral' pair of cans outta these? lets forget rock and electronic... I'll go for something balanced...

Thanks everyone. I did some research on the DT770s and they do look impressive but I can't get them here. I'll order them from overseas soon... Cheers! :D

Thanks guys... I'm definitely getting decent phones now... you guys don't seem to approve of the hd 598's... are they not good for rock/electronic? If not, how are the  Shure SRH940... are they better? I'll just get what you guys recommend... as I mentioned I can't test them here...

Quote: I would never order from suspicious sites( I learnt this lesson the hard way) neverthless, out of the four phones you listed which do you recommend for me (you can read what the type of stuff I'll use it for from my previous post) I know I should personally try them before...

Quote: The a900x and srh940 seem interesting... but I cant find them here... :( (btw, I'm from Pakistan)

I listen 'mostly' to rock.. lets stick to rock because my band plays rock as-well, we also do electronic stuff (Depeche Mode, e.t.c)... I am interested in quality products but I'm just a little you could say 'paranoid' that I'm afraid that 'what if I spend $250 and the sound difference is...

The max I can spend in dollars is around $250...

I would also like to know if it's safe to buy headphones online... Cheers!

This is my first post and I want some advice. I have a Note 2 and use the bundled oem in-ear headphones for music. I also use the same phones for movies and on my piano and guitar (I have this garage band). I am a college student and got my hands on some cash. I've done some research on phones...
