The Earphones/Headphones Thread

[juwanfidle09]

What would you recommend between the Grado SR60e/SR60i vandAudio Technica ATH-M50? Got to try these in a local store but I just want to know your thoughts about these cans. I'm currently searching for mixing headphones when I'm on the go. Thank you in advance!

Mixing headphones on the go, is go for the M50, because it's closed back. However, if you don't mind he open back design of the Grados (if on the go mixing means you still get a nice quiet room to yourself), you'd want the SR80i instead, which is still cheaper than an M50.

If we're narrowing the genres to heavy rock and metal, which of the two would you recommend? According to what I've read about the Grados, you can't hear outside noise that aren't less than 4 meters away. Though, I'm not really concerned much if it's closed or open back, I'm looking for the more "honest" sounding headphones.

Pahabol din pala, i'm also looking at the Audio Technica ATH-M40x, how does it compare to the two? Thanks again!

kung honest sounding paps, M50 ako. tska iba parin ang closed back. mas maraming pwedeng application. .


kung magm40 ka paps, might as well spring a little extra for the M50.

mas gusto ko kasi yung nadedetach yung cable na feature ng m40x and m50x. kaso, way too pricey na yun m50x for me

Fids, I'd stay away from Grado if you're looking to use them for mixing. Aside from hindi sila flat EQ, there's bleeding due to the open back design. Go for the M50. Also look at the KRK headphones kung naka sale pa sa TMS.

Oo nga e! Tubong lugaw! hahaha! 668B yung gamit ko ngayon paps. ok naman siya, somehow gets the job done. Medyo konting bawas lang ako sa bass kasi ma-bass talaga to

Nirecommend sa akin ni paengkee yung Grado, kaya napacheck ako. Baka magsettle down ako dun sa m40x, halos din naman daw nagkakalayo sa m50/m50x

Closed and open back influences the "honesty" of certain aspects of cans, which is especially true for affordable models. For example, open back ones generally have a more honest soundstage and generally "flatter" response, and closed back cans have more honest bass and mids especially when hard rock/metal and electronic music are concerned. This is for cheap cans, not the 5 digit ones.

For your use case, the M50 is much better because the bass and sub bass will be better represented. Contrary to cayle's view of the Grados, I find them quite flat, provided that you don't expect a "subwoofer in your ears" effect. They're not stellar for bass heavy stuff though.

mga boss baka may alam po kayo in-ear headphones na katulad ng Soundmagic ES18? Yung mga budget In-ear headphone pero sulit.. yung mga below 1000php? may mga nakita at nairinig po ko online eh.. yung sa xiaomi, awei, coloud etc. Gusto ko ulet bumili ng ES18 kaso nakakasawa na eh. Pangatlong beses ko na bibili nun. Problema ko lang dun sa ES18 eh yung natatanggal yung plastic ng earphone mga 3-6months, kaya dinidikit ko siya ng mighty bond lagi.. pero yung wire etc.. sobrang tibay 2-3yrs tinagal nung una ko ES18. Sobrang gamit pa.. kaya baka may alam po kayo tunog at presyong ES18 pero maganda at medyo matibay rin po ng konti sana? Salamat po.

Meron po.
Sa egghead ko nga nalaman na may bago...
Hehehe....


Ganda ng tunog, pero 16bit lang ata o hanggang 24bit lang kaya nya...

Pero bibili pa din ako...
Hehehe...

[marzi]

^i checked the reviews and might drop by Egghead mamya pauwi.

kung hindi pa naaddress ni FiiO, baka ang maging main problem ay chinese menu at the first time you turn it on at sabog na files - nakakalat, un-arranged songs.

sana hindi sya katulad ni Sansa na nakalimit lang sa 2k ang sound files. sana din may RockBox mod para mas madaming magawa.

[marzi]

May rereypin ako mamaya

[j.nikko3123]

Magkano M3 boss Marzi???

[marzi]

Php3145 cash. Around 3500 yata pag card.

At kelangan nyo ipa configure sa mga clerks yung unit. Naka chinese default nga ang language nya at may aayusin pa sila gamit yung microsd nila.

Sayang lang white lang talaga yung unit. Mukang takaw dumi. Hintay na lang ng silicone casing kung san ma-score

Sweetness......

Same question. Kasi pag ipod mas malaki storage, well aside from the price anong advantage?

opo and sa pagkakaalam ko maganda naman ang output ng ipod nano? someone, please answer plzzzz

[marzi]

well kung convinced na kayo sa ipod, theres no need for you to buy this type of player. ipod touch owner ako for 3 years. satisfied din ako sa kanya. kung mga rock, pop and hip hop tunes ang pinapakinggan mo at ang focus mo ay marinig yung songs sa kabuuan nya, you will go for the mainstream players.

ako, i wanted more. i want clear separation of instruments. i want clarity. thats where a DAC like this M3 comes in. you wouldnt get that same deep bass that you usually get when you use a Philips or Sony mp3 player pero you will hear honest, close to studio sounding bass lalo na kung maganda ang plugs or headphones mo.
