These are very good portable headphones for the price. The HM3 won't sound as good as the HM5 but is fantastic value at US$38.50 since you get a free stand worth around US$25 on their website. Have gone for US$35 on OzBargain in the past but the difference is that you get a quality stand for a few bucks more.

These are based on OEM Yoga headphones used by Fisher Audio (FA-004) and a variety of other cheaper ones like Incipio F38. But because you can't get them at Jaycar or MWave like the HM5s, this is the next best deal. You can occasionally get them for US$26 at Amazon but that's for US customers.

Some prefer to buy their own earpads and the clamping can be tight at the beginning, but should loosen up over time like the HM5.

There are other deals on the website as well such as Brainwavz B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones + FiiO E6 Amp for US$129.50 and 5% off Soundmagic gear. This is all part of their mid-autumn sale.

Comes with:
1 x 1/4" adapter
1 x extra earpads
1 x Instruction manual
1 x Warranty card

    Nice Price! Thanks.

  • AlexF on 29/09/2012 - 17:29

    Considering the extent of their range, it's quite amazing that the Russian Fischer Audio (http://www.fischeraudio.ru) is not more well known.

    Oh, might be worth mentioning they are on holiday at the moment due to public holidays in HK - "MP4 Nation office will be closed from today and will reopen on Wednesday Oct 3rd. Whilst we are closed support tickets may not be replied to and orders will not be shipped out till we reopen."

      Just to let you know, I've negative voted your comment to signal my contempt regarding MP4 Nation's closure. It has nothing to do with you.

      :)

      • camMMM on 01/10/2012 - 11:21

        um, yes it does. It's letting everyone know that they wont ship it until Wednesday because of the holiday.

    arghh just bought betaz, m4(still waiting to arrive) and now this. Must resist
    By the way Betaz sound is great, but the build quality is really CRAP

      He he yep. I'd say its similar to many KOSS products, amazing sound. Crappy build quality. I love my KSC-75's but many the plastic-ness of them can disappoint you at first.

      M4 is good, and i got sucked into buying the Betaz, which sounds alright for the price, but my god the build quality of Betaz is pretty bad. I had to open a support ticket for the two set of Betaz within 2 weeks of getting them.

      I just got ordered the HM3, lets see whether this product is good or a junk.

      You would think that Brainwavez would invest slightly more money in their product quality (i.e. using higher quality glues).

      To be honest, the low-end Brainwavz products have horrible build quality i.e. Betas and Alphas. I wouldn't buy them. The M1 is a bit plasticky but pretty durable. The rest are pretty solid. Here's a good thread on the FA-004, which is the same as the HM3 except for the earpads - http://www.head-fi.org/t/485660/review-fischer-audios-fa-004

        that is pretty good review for a headphone of this price. I like the Brainwavez design better from the picture posted on the web.

        I wish MP4 nation can do discounts on their DAC too.

    Damn you… I was looking for some <$100 full sized ones, but for the price its very hard to say no…

    • camMMM on 01/10/2012 - 11:26

      i was looking at getting some bose ae2's….. but this price swayed me.

      Hopefully shipping isnt as slow as 30 days.

  • MrDixit on 29/09/2012 - 22:24

    Screw it… Bought. Did anyone pick up the E6 amp for $22.50 on the side? Tempted, but decided not to.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/09/2012 - 22:56

      was tempted, but all the reviews are mostly from people who don't use a separate amp. The reviews all point to the headphones doing better with a burn in first though.

      • Tycn on 29/09/2012 - 23:51

        Burn in is audiophile voodoo, as is the benefits of amping in many cases.

        • MrDixit on 30/09/2012 - 00:12

          Yeah, I figured that if you get a set of lower-end headphones and the cheapest amp available you can't be looking at anything too spectacular. Probably be better off putting your amp money towards better headphones. On top of that, I listen to mid-quality MP3s, a cheap amp probably isn't going to help, so the sound quality another reason why I've never noticed burn in making any difference).

  • OldGuyFromTheMuppets on 30/09/2012 - 07:41

    My nerdy Audiophile friends all like these Headphones. They sound fine to me. Ordered thanks!

  • bonbon on 30/09/2012 - 10:04

    how this compare with Koss portapro for similar price, or ATH M50 with higher price?
    Any idea?

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 30/09/2012 - 10:22

      if they really are basically the same as Fisher Audio (FA-004), they should be freaking awesome value for money. Shame the 10-30 day shipping.

  • bonus999 on 30/09/2012 - 12:07

    Pulled the trigger. Seems very decent for the price and probably better then anything at JB for that price range. Thanks

    • camMMM on 01/10/2012 - 11:25

      lol. TommyGun , 'pulled the trigger'….

  • camMMM on 30/09/2012 - 16:14

    never heard of the brand… but hey! was after some decent headphones so on the reviews here… decided to give them a shot.

  • thomas_m18 on 03/10/2012 - 14:52

    Ordered today, hopefully not too late on these. Seem a fairly good bet for the price. Been looking around a lot for semi-decent cans (considering I break nearly everything don't want anything pricey) but can't seem to find too much quality on the cheap. Long shipping does suck but hopefully end product's worth it

  • lead_org on 19/10/2012 - 09:38

    Got the product, the quality is pretty nice and sound quality is very good for the price.

  • MrDixit on 29/10/2012 - 18:10

    FYI only, my pair arrived a couple of weeks ago. They aren't bad for the price, nothing spectacular though. Look very sturdy. Very tight clamp on the head - not too uncomfortable, but you feel the heat. Oh, and the plastic ear pieces on my glasses got crushed, so I guess it does hug pretty tight.

    Cable is very short - definitely intended to be portable.

    The post pack didn't have any padding so the box came all beaten up and the stand cracked. Apparently they are shipping me a new stand.
