Audio-Techinca%2520ATH-EC7%2520GM.jpg


I have this one for $34.

If you want In-ear one,
I strongly recommend Original Sennheiser CX-300

I am selling this for $65.

Too expensive?
Fear not.
This is originally $129.

If you want a cheaper one.
I have the OEM one. :)
Quality is close or we can say same as the original one.
This set I have in stock and want to clear it off at $30. :)
A worth it product to get.

I also have AKG one. Pretty good brand :) Original 324P
Selling for $55

I think its better to get earphones from authorized dealers, rather than online dealers

I got a fren who bought her CX300 from an online dealer who has some consumer accreditation. She thought the sound quality was terrible and she brought it to the sennheiser service centre who told her it was fake.

Check out this thread:

If u are getting sennheisers from online, suggest you bring it down to their service centre to verify if it is original

i just bought philips SHE9850, and i must say.. im super disappointed with the clarity of it, compared to EP 630. i just can't appreciate the "deep, warm, acoustic" characteristics of it.

im so sad, i wanna sell it, any interested buyers? lol

btw, mind if i ask what are better earbuds than EP 630, in terms of clarity, and same or better bass?

For a Philips earphone, I thot the SHE9850 wasn't too bad.

I feel it beats the EP630 hands-down and I'm not talking about pricing =:p

Wat do u not like abt it? Did you get the rite fit to seal ur ear?

i used the smallest one, as the others make my ear feel a lil pain pressure.

i dunno.. i've been listening both alternatively for my mp3s, overall the philips one isn't clear enough, it sounds blurry compared to EP630... its more comfortable listening, but im not satistifed. im not saying its bad, probably its just not my type. im more into listening the clarity of the frequencies.

which is sad, 'cause i like other things abt the philips (design, case, non-tangling wires lol).

Sennheiser too big for jogging right? Koss appearance not so nice. Any other look ok, sound ok and won't drop off while jogging one? If die die over $100 also can.

If no good headphone, how about earphone? I saw some at the beginning of this dread quite nice but that is quite old review. Wondering what are the updated ones nowadays.

Thanks :s12:

Currently looking at Westone UM1.Im looking to hook it up to my Ipod Touch.I heard that UM1 is not that bassy but more importantly i watch movies on my touch and would the UM1 give me the "cinematic" feel?Or are there other alternatives that is less than $150?i listen to rock and metal music so is the um1 a good fit?thanks
