[shufflez]

I got $5 earphones from Phillips and they're actually better then iPod earphones =D.

But I really want the headphones that Utada was using in her Heart Station MV

i think im in love

I'm sure you've all seen those Phiaton headphone ads that are prominently displayed on Soompi, the ones that proudly proclaim they're the headphones gold medalist Park tae-hwan wore during the Beijing Olympics.

In the January issue of Stereophile, Wes Phillips does an in-depth review of the Moderna MS 400s. They struck me as quite garish at first glance (the loud red accents doesn't do it any favors in the style department IMO), but the carbon fiber ear cups are a nice touch. Apparently, he gives a rather positive assessment of these Korean made 'phones, stating they are "easy to drive" & "extremely musical." Anyone out there bought a pair or had the opportunity to hear these in real world conditions?

where do you guys the mixstyle headphones?
i think i might need headphones since earbuds are killing my ears!
i don't want to go yeah...
is the mixstyle headphone expensive?

no. cheap, pretty, and crappy sounding.

what on earth do you need carbon fibre on headphones for? its useless! carbon fibre belongs on F1 cars, not consumer electronics >=(

Jeez, I was wondering when the resident Soompi headphone 'elitist' would show up to reply haha. Just kidding dude! =P

yeah at first, it seems like just another marketing & styling ploy & way to differentiate their phones from the multitudes on the market at their price point. I'm sure Phiaton engineers/designers will claim carbon fiber has special anti-resonant properties & such, but I don't know the science behind it. I do recall the Sennheiser HD-600s were the first to employ carbon fiber in their phones & those headphones are highly regarded by audiophiles, so perhaps I am too quick to dismiss it as a gimmick.

I just got a pair of Wesc Oboe Streets! Love them

Skullcandy: Smokin' Buds in ear headphones

and Skullcandy: GI Rasta


haha and don't tell me skullcandy isn't the best sound bla bla, it works for me.and it looks kickarse. so hah.

i have skull candy ink'd earbud headphones and i was actually really surprised at how good they sound. I bought them on sale for $10 and they sound better than my $40 sony headphones!

I believe it was the Sennheiser HD-580 Jubilee editions not the 600s , Carbon fiber is supposed to minimize resonance, which would come handy in a closed headphone , how much it would effect the actual sound is a whole different story .

[bulgogi88]

^ ah yeah, thanks for the correction. Yup, the Jubilees were the first to employ the carbon fiber earcups & considering we are talking about phones that were in production more than a decade ago, you have quite a good memory.

[wOo[FIN.K.L]]

It's just one of my hobbies
the 580 Jubilees/600/650s afaik, only use carbon fiber headbands, It's more for headband strength/lightness rather than minimizing resonance, since it's an open phone anyway.

yup, you're correct once again...I actually meant to say the ear cup surrounds or shells were carbon fiber & not the earpieces themselves. because the actual ear pieces have steel grills over them & you can peer through and see the transducers like all the following models of that series.

Anyway, it is nice to meet such a well informed & knowledgeable person on this thread.

Cheers , this thread is a lot different to the ones I'm used to haha!

HARHAR INVASION OF THE AUDIOPHILES!

JVC Gummys in Lychee White after I killed my generic iPod earphones.

[bobomaul]

Just got these: Pioneer SE-MJ2

It's my first pair of headphones and it delivers awesome bass. It is collaspible so I can fold them and bring them anywhere I go and it wasn't too expensive either!

I used to use Fontopia earbuds from Sony: MDR-ED21LP. They were pretty good in bass too! And they stayed in my ears!

[chewy130]

i currently have the Grado SR60s but I don't know if i really like them, first of all they arent very attractive and i look kinda weird in them, and second is the cord is very long and thick so its not very practical for outside use...
but other than that, the sound is pretty clear and detailed, except its a bit low on bass and i think im a bit of a basshead..

thats why i wanna get these bad boys next...but not for a whole cuz i just got my Sr60s and i don't wanna spend more for another pair..i heard SR60s arent very durable anyways so it shouldnt be long..

anyways, these things have tons of bass (SKullcrushers)

[x Meh Vt Tooh x]

man~~ i want some audio technica's... >__<
i was thinking of ATH-SQ5 or the ATH-ES7.
i'm figuring the ATH-ES7 is so much more worth it for that extra like 30-40 bucks..

[h2obubbli]

I had a pair of the ATH-ES7s but i broke them =[

now i dont think i can afford to buy headphones more than �70 because im scared i'll just break them again....
i wanna get either:

Audio-Technica ATH-FC700 http://www.yesasia.com/global/audio-techni...-0-en/info.html

or

Audio-Technica ATH-ES5 http://www.yesasia.com/global/audio-techni...-0-en/info.html
