hi there audiophiles!
its my first Forum post here...i have searched your forums many a times for my IEM's
I have a querry...since i am seeking a new pair of Cans under 4K (Indian Rupee) that is to say $80 USD.....
I stumbled upon These..
              1.Sennheiser HD438
              2.Sennheiser HD448
              3.Audio Techna ATH-M35
or any other you can suggest.....I am more Inclined Towards the HD438
The genre i love are:- all types of Metal, Rock,Pop,Hip Hop & bollywood......& movies
mostly for travelling....and home use
Should have a decent Sound Issolation...

Wont be using any Sort of Amp..as after spending 4k wont be having any ..\m/

...so headphones ...budget $80....Fire away....

Depending of your country... I always watch the US and the European market.

i am in India....here Shure SRH440 sell at around 5k ie.. $100.

Then HD448 (not tried hd438) would be a good choice but its not a bass monster,lol.

 

[Draconifire]

ya thought of it at first......went to the HD438 since it had more bass.......

 

[Draconifire]

OK.....HD 668 is out of range...
BTW havent heard of these before

 

[killmurer]

Everything is still very overpriced in India. As far as headphones go. Your best bet would be to compare the prices. With luck you might find something thats cheap there and NOT overpriced. The 668B for instance used to sell for 30-40$.

 

[Draconifire]

well ordered the HD438......hoping for the best

The SRH440's look good but yeah. most countries have higher prices than u.s
