[apextwin146]

as the title suggests i head cheap :hap5: VFM:rofl: heaphones/IEMs just for watching movies n Tv shows from my comp/Laptop ..

Cheap as in < Rs 10000 right ? Get the Beyer DT 880. Great for watching movies !!! hyeah:

If you want like reallllllly dirt cheap, then try the Sony XD200. Many people who have them recommend them. They have nice decent bass from what I have heard.

I wouldn't recommend IEMs for watching TV. They are not as comfortable as a pair of headphones.

+1 for the XD200's . they're light , comfortable , and closed back, so you dont end up disturbing anyone

Consider the Labtech Elite 840C, decent pair and real affordable at ~650 - 800.

 

[Brendon]

^^ But are they available ? I heard they are very hard to find.

 

[greenhorn]

i saw the labtec elites at about 2.6k :S in bangalore

 

[sarang]

Lol the shopkeeper must be kidding you Greenie, ask him not to mess with our in house audio genie...

I picked up one for a freind from Audio palace MG Road Pune for 800, in jan.

[sarang]

@Greenie : Wise choice anyways these music worlds and planet Ms are hopelessly overpriced as far as ausio gear goes. God alone knows who picks up stuff from them?

sorry for the OT child_bear

Around 1k or so. Though Sony lists it on their site as 1490.

Contact KMD and try getting the Sennheiser HD201's

 

[ReNaGAde]

Get the philips shp-805 or shp-2700's and u will be a happy very man.. Nothing else even comes close in the < Rs 1500 bracket.

when this is available locally for about Rs.1400/- why go through the hassle of importing it :S

 

[apextwin146]

^ Locally?? anyplace in Bangalore?? ..

So should i go with philips shp-805 or Sony XD200???

 

[Brendon]

Philips HP-805 is not being produced anymore. You will have to go for the Philips SHP-2700 for about 1.5k instead.

 

[greenhorn]

you know the shop owner at loyal world inside the campus right? He's a philips dealer.I think he should be able to source philips Headphones. I got one of my HP 805's from him.
