Any headphone/earphones enthusiasts here?

Sennheiser HD518 can be bought for 8.8k. A few modifications will net you a sound signature similar to HD598 since they both share the same internals, just different housing, cushion and damping.

Used to have a Senn PX-100, then replaced it with PX-100 II when it broke. The PX100 II lasted longer, but still eventually broke down.

Haven't bought new headphones since I don't commute anymore, just using my Apple earphones when I bike. My Senns made my HS/college commute much more bearable though.

You think its good for symphonic metal? I currently have Grado Sr80i for home, it's a bit mid forward so it's great for guitar riffs and vocals like bossa. And soundmagic e10s iem for office use.

Im looking to either buy audio technica im70 for iem or audio technica m50x headphone.

Haven't auditioned Audio Technica yet, kung may stock Astro Vision baka pwede subukan doon. I don’t buy any headphones without auditioning them first. Pero ok talaga halos lahat ng review for ATH-M50X. It's sound as good or even better than the more expensive cans out their according to owners of this from headfi forum.

If you visit Singapore, Stereo store have most of the high-end iem and cans. They have a branch in Plaza Singapura and Causeway Point. They encourage auditioning these units, and it's ok to audition them even if you're not interested in buying. Testing the various iem is what convinced me to invest on them. Sound difference is night and day. Sarap makinig ng high fidelity sound, I didn't know there were a lot I was missing. With a good iem or headphone you can hear the fingers moving through the guitar. You can hear the singer draw their breath when they sing. Sabi nga sa mga audiophile review they can't believe that their iem can sound as good as their 10k dollar speakers. Good value for money.

I went for Ultimate Ears, they weren't bought by Logitech yet at that time, because they were the only one of the few back then that has replaceable cable. The other one with a replaceable cable was Westone. I'm not forking out a significant amount which will be thrown away when the cable breaks.

Loved that senn px100. Foam was thin though and it hurt my ear at times. Sound was good when its quiet outside. 2000era kids. During flights its suck alot lol.

Still looking for some noise cancelling headphones. Jogging along the main roads disrupts my listening.

I also have the px100-ii. I think its about 5 years old. Tumagal sya dahil pina recable ko sya with a stronger cord. Kaya kahit mga anak ko ma gumagamit eh buo pa rin. Although the recabling cost almost half the price of the headphone.

In ear monitor I used to have was Ultimate Ears TF10, nawala ng anak ko nung pinahiram ko. Dahil more on bass head ako I also have Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 Extended Base. I still have this, ganda ng bass. Sa bahay I use yung Marshall Over the Ear monitor, ok rin sounds niya.

Wanted to try Audio Technica ATH-M50X and ATH-M40X, kaya lang wala pa akong napuntahan store na may available unit for audition.

I can just imagine yung galit mo nung mawala ng anak mo ang earphones worth more than 10k.

I am on my second pair of Koss KSC-75. Comparable to iGrados but at a much, much cheaper price.

Luma na siya noong nawala niya kaya hindi labas litid sa galit. More disappointed dahil alam naman niya na mahal yung earphone, ilang beses ko pinaalala sa kanyang ingatan, nawala pa rin niya.

I used one from 2008 until it finally broke last year. Great earphones, especially at the price. My only gripe is the sponge lining came off easily after three years. I used Elmer's Glue to keep it secure.

I may buy another one to replace my Philips. The Koss KSC-75 was really great while at the gym.

May sponge sa daiso or Japan home store if you need extra.

BOSE Soundlink. I only use it when i travel.

Sir, di ba portable bluetooth speaker ang soundlink?

Sir, di ba portable bluetooth speaker ang soundlink? Soundlink mini/mini 2/ soundlink3 user here. For me, these are the best portables out there.

Btt, when buying or investing on a headphone, one should consider a very good source and format as well. Iba ang sound quality ng mp3 format sa FLAC, ALAC, WAV, CDA, WMA etc. Some sources also has different DACs, DSPs and amps implementations etc. Headphone alone will not dictate the sound output.. Let's say nag audition ka sa isang shop, and may gamit silang outboard dac or headfone amp, and binili mo yung headphone at pag uwi mo sa bahay sinaksak mo sa ipod shuffle mo, of course, the sound difference would be night and day. It's best to bring your own materials when auditioning. A good place would be egghead at Rob Galleria.
Btw, mejo OC ako kaya di ako nag de demo/ audition ng in-ear(s).

Honestly, the headphone I'm most excited to purchase is a HiFiMAN HE-400S. You absolutely can't find any other headphone with this much performance/price. UGH. Now, I'm torn between getting one and upgrading my bike's groupset >.<

Break-in time...

QC25 for samsung full price 😐

Bought primarily for flights. The ANC is unreal. Highway noise is almost gone.

SQ is very neutral. Needs equalization for that extra thump. No distortion at 80-90% volume. 100% is too loud.

My mp3s suck. I need 320ks 😧

If you're just within Metro Manila, you can try Egghead at Robinson's Galleria.
