Headphones Under ~5k

R

Hey im IN Very Confused State Right Now...First Of All Im Not able to decide that i should buy dock for my ipod or Headphones under rs 5000 ......
So Now I have two questions But similar One
1.Which Dock Should Buy ~rs5000 (With Remote)
2.Which HeadPhones Should i BUy ~rs5000 ( I want One With Good Base )

And one More Question is Wireless Headphones Good?????

It is bass not base!!

2) You can have a look at Audio Technica ATH-AD500 [ATH-AD500] - Rs.5,200.00 : Pristine Note, Shop audio, headphones, amplifier, DAC, hifi, mp3, audiophile products online store India, it is open in nature, though, yet one of the best in sub 5k category. Choose according to your tastes.

hahaha...sorry....thats stupid.....i know...it was just mistake......It is Prounounced that way so I typed that.....

If bass is a priority dont go for the AD series , lack bass pretty much . I own a AD700 and they lack bass else they were a total VFM buy at 5900 bucks , maybe you can go for the T-500 or ATH-M35 from Audio Technica from Pristine Note.
Had a HD280Pro , that also sounded good just about had enuf bass but problem was being used to the AD700 the HD280pro did not go down too well for me , maybe you may like see if you can demo the same.

If Bass is your only priority, you can get cheap ones as well. A short list of what I've come across (not necessarily tried):

1) Sony MDR ED12LP - bass boost, under Rs.1000/- (never used)
2) Sennheiser CX 180 - bass boost ( used them, they're good )
3) Sennheiser CX 300ii - good overall, including bass (never used)
4) Klipsch S4i - Good overall, ~ Rs.4,200 (using).

I'm using the S4i's. They're specifically for iDevices, but I use them with my Galaxy S2 and Cowon C2. They're really good when it comes to sound reproduction as well as noise isolation.
You can also look up various reviews and comparisons online on the S4i's. These are the ones I would personally recommend(assuming you have one of the last 3 generations of the iPod Touch).

Look for Audio Technica ATH-T500, it will cost u around 3400/-

Great frequency response of 10-25,000Hz.

R

I Wanted To Ask One Thing That The Gaming Headsets of sennheiser or SOny Are Good For Listening Music or Do they Have Good Bass ...or They Are Just Simply good For Gaming......

S

Sony gaming headsets ?? , never heard of any . The sennheiser gaming headsets are said to do pretty good with music too though they are mainly for gaming , i m talking about sennheiser 333d or sennheiser 330

R

@Sukant
Yes their is one pc gaming headset from sony
DR-GA200 ~Rs 3500

@ricky
If you go by technical methodologies risk is involved , but pristinenote wont cheat you for sure , they have built too good a reputation to cheat anyone , they have their presence established on forums , ebay etc.
Get in contact with them over email . Can PM you the email id's if needed .

With respect to your other query the HD 428 has a good reputation ,but its not a totally for bass headphone(opinion from a user who is my colleague) , with a budget like yours the HD202 should nowhere come in your mind

, get the audio technica ones , if any issues arise pristine note will surely help you .

P.S: I am no rep or salesperson of PN

, but his reputation and service and pricing is worth a praise anytime.

Thanks Bro For This Help......I Just Want To Request One More Favour From You !!!!! My Budget Certainly Going Higher It iS Going upto Rs4000 but i Want Under Rs 3000 Can You Suggested Me Any Other Audio Technica Headphone Which Would Be Better Than Sennheiser.......

^M35/T500, M35 being on the darker side and T-500 being on brighter side.

S

Buy a M35 bro , supposed to be a good performer and an cheaper alterantive for M50.

I have not heard M35 personally,but have read it is more neutral and not bass heavy like M50,the high impedance does not help matters without an amp.

I can suggest you something which is not bass heavy but has brilliant mid..
Shure SRH440!
Most bass heads hate it..but it is one of the most neutral HP I have ever heard.
It is not fun sounding but dead accurate!!
The elder brother SRH840 albiet )pricey,a very good buy(will take it over M50 anyday!

R

I want one more help from You guys i assure this is definitely the last one
Im going with Audio technica ATH T-500 for total of Rs 3900 including all charges ...
And i want to ask Does this Comes with Indian Warranty from pristinenote.com
And How to use Debit Card to make payment with pristinenote.com (i have arranged my friends Debit Card)

Ya, Pristinenote provides Indian warranty. For payment, why don't you contact them?

R

yeah I Contacted Them They Answered All My Doubts.....Thnx.....So Audio Technica ATH-T500 is then the best in This Rs4000?.....I Dont Go Over this Budget!!.......I Should Order Na??????........Moreover Is It Good With Listening With Phone's Or Ipod's?...

Yes

But I'd recommend you to order it from TE (techenclave.com), you'll save a few bucks.

Also, it seems prices of T500 have increased as I was getting them for 3500(shipped) 1 month ago.

Exactly my feelings.

I had been in same situation since 2 months! Even though I had budget of 4k, I settled for a 2k headphone (I'll get that in couple of days, then update :hyper:

). Though ordering like this is akin to gamble, but I hadn't any option, plus was mind f*ked and confused like you.

Sorry I can't say anything about Dr Dre. Though they're a respected name, but without trying them, I can't say anything. Wait for my update for my headphone, then may be it will help you in your selection.

Buy Dr Dre Snoop Dogg edition.

Dr Dre headphones are overpriced for the quality they offer.

M50 & T500+Shure 440 are totally worlds apart. I mean you can't compare M50 with T500. It is DEFINITELY better.

I Know But its way Over my Budget.....I m just confused between ATH and Shure ....And Im Considering is it Worth Paying Rs 2500 For Shure Headphones Over ATH ones....( Because I Will Also Order SHURE 840 EARCUPS of Rs 1450)

Please just Tell Me This IS IT Worth Paying Rs 2500 More For SHURE Headphones Over ATH T500 Ones....Please SomeBody Just Answer This Question With Proper Explanation......

Mate listen it's goods thing if you asking others opinion and information, but it's depends on you which type of sound signature you liked because every single person have a different way to judge and elaborate according to their needs, how they feel about it.

If you ask some how is AKG 701 , you will get negative response because most of the people don't like neutral sound, lot of thing are depends on amp,ohms, cord, burning time (for AKG cans needs 400 hr for treble and 300-350 hr for bass) and what type of music you listen plus comfort level.

Take your time, easy, do your research and if possible borrow few headphones from your friends to analysis yourself , In my case I need 1 to 2 hr to feel the sound with different track (sorry I take too much time). Even I spend 1.5 month on researching and listening different headphone, so it's a one time investment if you are going to spend more than seven thousands.

In my opinion Audio-Technica ATH M50S, I think it's not in a list, sorry for that. Shure is also good option, I trust this brand more than Technica (my taste). Look at others brand also.

Yeah Thanks Bro..I Totally Understand That Every Individual Has Different Taste .....I Listen To Rock , Bollywood , Slow Songs And Need One With good BAse Though Im Not Bass Head...And Also Need one With Good Soundstage That Really Matters To me....Comfort Doesnt Matter To Me.........Yeah Im Taking My full Time..On These Things These Days.....I Just Hope It Just Pays My Work And research Whole These Days....And Moreover I Dont Have Any Idea Of how They Both Sound. .....IF I Had By Any Chance Could Demo These Two Headphones I Would Have Instantly Bought Those Headphones....But Im Just Handicapped In This Scenario So im just dependant On USer Reviews......

Theitwares is a trusted website, you can buy from them.

Buying from amazon is a problem, high shipping cost, custom hassle etc, end price is 40% higher easily.

Apparently they have dispatched it with the courier, I called him, he said that he is coming, gave him my location, he is still coming, apparently. No sign of him yet, called pristinenote, they were very helpful(there is a bunch of bengali guys there) but aramex is f'n me sideways, I'll call the courier again at 7:30 :-x

Ok, finally received it

Had to drag that guy to my house, repeatedly calling him, and now I'm gonna murder Aramex, the box had my Address, Ph no. on top in big bold letters, pristine note is awesome though, less than 24 hrs dispatch, go ahead and buy, but if you buy from website ask them to ship via another courier.

Pics and mini review coming up.

Actually, I want to, but he is a doc, and lives a bit far away(forum member mukherjee), he has some upcoming exams, so don't wanna bother him now, just enjoy your T500, they are good.

I m Just Having one Problem The portability issue is Really Confusing me!!!!! Coz M35 is Portable...Im not A Much Of A Traveller...but even i Go Sometimes..That Portable ones Will be Damn easy To Carry!!!

M35 is foldable, not so much portable, even folded it won't fit in your pocket, not in any one of them, headphones like Sennheiser PX series, Koss Portapro are truly portable, M35 is just easier to store in a bag and requires less space.

But it trades comfort for portability, the M35 is a lot less comfortable compared to hanging design like T500 or my old Siberia.

My ears begin to hurt after a few hours, so can't have both.

i Dont Know I Would Be Able To buy Another Headphones In Some YEars or not...so I am really Looking In Long term ....That Wuld Really Help me..Carrying HP..in Bag..is really easy to carry anyway..so jus gone With M35..My head is Big...so People have Said That ATH T500 Wuld be Really Tight For Big Heads!!!

If your head is big you would have hell with M35, it clamps down hard, but T500 hangs on your ears, so its a lot more comfortable, trust me, my experience with siberia had taught me, T500 will be lot more comfortable than M35, any day.

This headphone will serve you good for a long time.

After you have ordered, don't confuse yourself

Congrats btw

Tkin I manage to get the warranty in India of my Hp, it has been already directly shipped from Germany Beyerdynamic. Soon I will create a thread, so it will help other but firstly I have to ask the source if he is comfortable or not. How is beyerdynamic market in India, people like it or not ?

Most people have never heard of it, why? Its all, SONY, SENNHEISER OMGWTFBBQ, people have the audacity to compare sub 2k sony IEMs with my PL30s, or cheap zebronics HP with Portapros, but EVERYONE in this forum, atleast the knowledgeable kind love Beyerdynamic(I love them, want one next year), so we would love a review, please go ahead

I'm thinking to take beyerdynamic distributorship in India. Let's see long way to go.

Problem is with customers, I have a friend, who is a b@st@rd, he buys stuff from ebay and gives them mediocre reviews, once he got a stuff in 2 days flat and gave 3 star in all categories, these guys ruin everything. Then theres the cheaters and kleptos.

Really I don't know customer doing this type of thing, :shock:

There are some of these guys, they try to make the sellers miserable, so my rule no.1, never sell in ebay unless you have a very large inventory and support, start in forums, follow pristine notes success.
