recommendations?

Hi guys! Just discovered this thread here while looking for earphone recommendations. I'm a new here.
i'm looking for a set of earbuds, preferbly with heavy bass but it doesnt really matter. My budget is about $50.
Was thinking about the
-jvc ha-fx1x
-monoprice 8320 IEM
- sony MDR XB30EX
-soul by ludacris SL49
-meelectronics m6cl

I'd prefer noise cancelling earphones that are comfortable with decent audio quality. I'm hoping to get recommendations for some in-ears that are known to be good bang for buck.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, I found out normally it's less choice when come to headset with mic. Would like to know is it normally those headset with mic will have lower expectation when compare to those earphone which only for music?

If would like to compare among the same range, which brand/model will be at the similar music experience as compare to, says audio tech cks1000?

Thank you.

You can consider the Westone UM Pro 10 and the Audio Technica ATH-IM01 as well. Durability will depend on how the earphones are being used so there is no guarantee on their durability.

You can give some consideration to the Fischer Audio Consonance also. At a under $100 range it is one of the most welcome earphones.

Yes generally because purist will find that having a mic along the line will affect sound quality. Which might be true considering that most high end IEMs do not have mic by default.

Thanks. If so any suggestion for the earpiece (w/o mic) which performance similar to audio tech cks1000?

You can consider the Fischer Audio Consonance also which was mentioned above. For comparison, you can compare it with the JVC FX3X and the Audio Technica CKS55Xto find out what would be your sound preference.

Hi, can try at Stereo?

XiaoMi Piston else the SoundMagic range of IEMs.
If can stretch budget a bit, highly recommend the IM50.

Thanks for the reply, but I would like to know what are the good points of these headphones. ATH IM series seems to be hyping, but what makes em so good? And shure 315 was hyping since it was released, so the question is which 1 of them would be better?

That will be your preference to decide which is better. The reason why they are listed is because they have the same configuration of single BA. If possible you can visit our outlets and give the demo a try to see which will be a better choice for you.

hmm any comment for above please?

It would be recommended that if you could drop by and give them a try as we you are able to hear might not be what we hear. Generally they are some of the earphones which we'll use to figure out what is a person's preference.

Yes you can. It comes with a regular headphone cord with an inline remote and mic, so you can keep listening to music when the battery dies.
