Never bought from them before so can't advice

But I think locally there's 5 main places you can try. (Those that I heard of)

1) E1 Personal Audio
Far Eat Shopping Centre (Orchard)

2) Stereo Electronics
ION Orchard (Orchard)
Plaza Singapura (Dhoby Ghaut)

3) Jaben
The Adelphi (City hall)

4) Connect-IT
Tampines One (Tampines)
JEM (Jurong East)
Shaw Towers (Bugis)

5) Treoo.com
Online shop, but you can audition some of Treoo's gear at Bugis but there's quite a limited choice and need to make appointment (Audition & Testing | TREOO.com)

Personally I prefer E1 cause it's cosy and the service is excellent.
But all the other outlets are excellent too. Without them, I wouldn't be on this audio journey of no return.

You can consider the Ultimate Ears 600vi, used it before and the clarity and noise isolation is very good. But the remote control may not be 100% compatible with the HTC One.

Thanks for the recommendation, are there any other alternatives if i am looking for something with stronger bass?

If you wish to have a stronger bass you can try the Audio Technica CKS99i.

No problem
I have to say all of the audio shops have really very very very friendly staff. Really fortunate to be in Singapore with pretty wide selection of audio gear with such good service.

Have fun comparing prices

The SL99S is designed to be used with Samsung smartphones. Unless you're using one, there might be compatibility issues. As compared to SL49 the SL99 will have a clearer sound. The SL49 is preferred by bass lovers.

Hi there, you can consider the Fischer Audio Consonance. If you don't mind to stretch the price range a little bit you can give the JVC FX-T90 a try also.
