Getting a Headset / Headphones

[Bert Vierstra]

I will have to go to either Kuala Lumpur or Singapore anytime soon again, but I have been looking for a good headset in Bali, the last few days, unsuccessfully.

I did upgrade my Ipod nano to a Ipod classic of 120gbm without trouble, but haven't been able to find a better sounding headset then the Sennheiser PX100 ( http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/pr ... sid=005206 ) which I already have. 380k rp

I did find a Sennheiser HD 457 ( http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/pr ... sid=005177 ) for 800k rp but it doesn't sound any better than the PX100

I did find a Bose shop, and they have 2 noise canceling headsets (USD 475 and USD 500), which is funny, as it damps some of the surrounding sound, but they don't sound really better as the Sennheiser PX100 at 380k rp. :shock:

Anyone knows a place where they have the better Sennheisers in Bali?

(Oh they also sell bad copies of the Sennheiser PX200 at 125k rp here and there, don't fall for it)

Do you have to buy them in Bali? We shop for most electronics on newegg and got these:

Ok bought a Shure SE530 via Ebay and paid via Paypal. The Shure is one of the best around, and indeed it sounds very good.

Had to pay another 500.000 rupiah for customs, but still much cheaper than in normal shops.

Ordered on Dec 4th, arrived today on the 12th.

Customs had opened the package, and the Shure packaging as well, but all was there....
