Every where in the world when I go into a shop and see a pair of headphones

 

I will try it. The best headphones I have even tried were these at about $1300.

 

Also not very practical as it needed an amp to drive it.

 

 

I couldn't afford them so I kept looking.

 

The next best was this one which I bought for $111

 

 

But I use it for travel and never needed the 7.1

 

so if I had to replace them I would get the cheaper

 

G230.

if u need to bring it ard then iem more practical, and typically easier to drive.

 

for headphones, it's easier to drive from a desktop setup.

Bought a pair of supposedly bone conduction earphones from AliExpress. $30. Shouldd be received next week.

 

If it works, then good. If not then probably getting the valore or aftershokz.

 

Are there any other bone conduction earphones being sold here in Singapore?

I tried the display aftershokz at Challenger, but don't like the sound. But i guess good for running since can still hear the surrounding, for safety.

Yeah that's what I like about it. Sound quality definitely not there.

 

But with my running and cycling, good to be able to hear the surroundings.

Other than running, I can't listen to music via headphone or IEM without DAC.

 

I used to have Fostek portable DAC for a couple of years till it gave up on me.

 

Now, I am using Creative portable DAC that receives via wire or Bluetooth.

[Jman888]

i can't use wireless headphone/earphone cos i lazy to charge them, all end up collecting dust  

[Etnt]

the iem/headphone market is now much more vibrant than several years back. Lots more brands and choices.
