i have an HD 201, and have heard HD 202. Its just a good headphone. SOund is good, but nothing special. It lacks the power too, ie volume is too low, even at my sound card's max output.

HD 202 has better bass. Rest everything is same.

Go with HD 202 if you want more bass in your music. Otherwise, Creative.

I have tried it with my old Audigy value, and now the Auzentech HDA Xplosion too. But still HD 201 isnt loud enuf. Sometimes i have to use the volume boost function in MPC.

btw, no its not my ears which is faulty
my PL-11 is blasting my ears even with lil more than half the volume in most PMPs. Cant use the Fiio E3 i already have as it makes signal 2X powerful.

The HD 201 /202 both are one of the best sounding headphones in their price range but they are very difficult to drive. Volume is low and they give out 50% of their true performance with a onbaord sound card.Even with a XONAR DX the 201 was not at it's best. So don't get the 201 /202 if you have onbaord sound.
The Philips SHP 2700 is a good choice as well.Some Croma stores might have it for auditioning ,you can try it and buy it if you like it.
If you don't mind a used cans , these Denon's are very good the price ,lots of bass .
Denon AH-D301 Headphones
Importing one via KMD would cost ~ 2.5-3k.

guys
saw two good deals on ebay
SHP 2700: 14.k
and SHP 8500 : 1.67k

SHP 8500 seems like a high end HP, but why is it priced at 1.67k ? Or SHP 2700 is better?
Plz answer asap. My ebay coupon will end soon

i use a philips shp2700 -- really good sound quality.
+1 to udit's suggestion.
but the best part for me was that i got the philips shp2700 headphones from croma @444rs because they had a sale going on.now the same thing retails for 900rs(899rs)@ croma.
