Poll: What brand of earphones are you?

Full-size: Beyerdynamic DT 150 – Built like a tank, dry and detailed midrange, analog-like sound signature. My favorite headphone not for sheer technical capabilities, but for its unique way of portraying accuracy in guitar-based recordings.

Portable: Creative Aurvana Live! – Foster 399317 bio-cellulose drivers, deep and satisfying bass, rich and thick signature. They’re a steal for $60 on Amazon, compared to the steep Php 8,000 local price.

IEM: VSONIC GR07 – Detail retrieval on par with $300-400 IEMs, clean and neutral without being boring due to a splash of warmth.

ep-630 and ep-635 nice earphones :) great sound signature almost the same as cx-300 but cheaper and soundmagic pl-50 bang for buck earphone :)

Etymotic Research ER-6i. One of the best bang-for-buck earphones I’ve had the pleasure to own.

Hed kandi pure kandi cause it’s so stylish. Period. Haha.

i using my Dr. dre solo hd for about 3yrs now, im so amazed by the performance of this headset though its a bit expensive but worth for such price

I recommend shure earphones – high quality though expensive; I got the 425 and 535 models – totally worth it – durable too

Audio Technica

Sennheiser CX310 adidas

I’ve used many earphones over the years and even used to own one in the 4-digit price range, a Shure e2c. Sold it eventually since I didn’t actually like its sound signature, even if it produced technically good sounds. It’s like saying you don’t like Mariah Carey’s songs, even though you know she’s a technically excellent singer.

Since then, I’ve went on to purchase cheaper ones since my earphones lasted only anywhere from 3 months to 1 1/2 years. Also, cheaper earphones actually provide the masses with the stuff they like: bass (sometimes muddy, sometimes tight), noise isolation and decent mid-range.

For the cheap earphones I’ve tried, I’ve come to love the old A4Tech MK-650. Loved it so much that I bought it 4 times since it kept breaking in around half a year, as early as 3 months. One earpiece tends to stop working by that time. Note that I said old, by old, I meant the ones without the pinpole and isn’t darkish chrome. The newer ones with the pinhole and darkish chrome have relatively bad highs and ear-piercing treble. The old one was just right to introduce anyone to in-ear earphones.

As for my current budget pick, G-Cube’s iB-1300 is 400 Php at most Wellcom branches. I’m currently using this one and it delivers a very decent mid-range after 20 hours of burn-in. It also has a relatively tight base, not overpowering. The highs could be a bit better, but it’s already better than the old A4Tech MK-650. You could listen to Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” without absolutely no crackling noises at high volume with high power output sources. Soundstage isn’t that good but what other earphones under Php 1000 have a good soundstage? It’s an even better version of the old MK-450 and at a similar price.

As for non-in-ear earphones, I’d simply recommend the Sennheiser MX500 for under a grand.

I used UrbanEars Plattan.

Colouds or B&W

Shure, Ultimate Ears.

i use Phillips bluetooth headset. it costs a lot but the sound quality is superb, with real bass. im froun a sound studio industry so i know what IS a good set of headphones.

Marshall Minor – nice mesh cord, great sound quality

AUDIO-TECHNICA!

Philips SHE-9620 Crystal Sound in-ear earphones which I got last 7/25/2009 for P1800. Worth every penny. Still using them up to now. I compared it with my uncle’s Schure buds and they sounded exactly the same.

beats tour na fake :)

Sennheiser. has been distortion-free for five years. started with philips but the left earphone always gave out after only a year of use.

Philips!

Sennheiser and skullcandy

Koss Porta Pro

back then CDR-King, now Philips. Never tried Senn :(

Logitech UE 600 :)

I’ve only tried Senn. But I’m willing to try Philips (seems most affordable in the batch), Klipsch, and Shure (for good reviews).

I go for Sennheiser and Audio Technika as I’m on a tight budget but if I’ll spend more, I’ll go for Shure, Ultimate Ears or Klipsch
