If you don't mind stretching the price range slightly you can consider the Bose AE2W and the Jabra Revo Wireless. Personally would prefer the Bose as it has a bigger ear cup and more comfortable ear pads.

For those earphones with volume control, does it works for Samsung phones? Or just for iPhones?

For example:

Sennheiser MM 30i - Earphones with microphone - Headset - Stereo Sound, good noise attenuation
Sennheiser MM 70s - Stereo headset for Smart Phones - Integrated volume control, Call control, in Ear acoustic design

Do consider the Jaybird Bluebuds X. There are many positive reviews about them from our customers. Some even commented that they are comparable to wired IEMs.

For example:

Sennheiser MM 30i - Earphones with microphone - Headset - Stereo Sound, good noise attenuation
Sennheiser MM 70s - Stereo headset for Smart Phones - Integrated volume control, Call control, in Ear acoustic design

From what we understand, unless it is stated otherwise the volume control only works on iOS devices.

You can consider the Bose AE2W also. Tried them when they first arrived and find that it is really good, almost didn't felt that I was wearing them as they are very light. And I personally like it a lot because it is all black.

You can consider the JVC M55X. If you find it too big there is a smaller model, S44X.

Not sure if those with mic and volume control will work with the Sony Walkman. But for normal IEMs you can consider the Fischer Audio Consonance, Ultimate Ears 400 and Audio Technica CKS77X.

Can recommend me IEM that will be an upgrade to my HE-400? Looking for something portable for traveling. Budget ~600. Mostly using X3 with flac.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was actually thinking of the Jabra Revo...is it a better choice comparing with the Beats Wireless?

I would find the Beats Wireless more comfortable. Sound wise the bass of it would be too much to my personal liking.

 

[specz88]

first time posting here

- rig iPod Nano 7th gen
- music and movies
- mostly mp3
- pop music, radio music etc, don't like heavy metal. prefer slow and instrumental songs but dont mind punchy songs with bass
- prefer closed headphones, light and portable
- looking for wireless/bluetooth
- around 250

actually looking at the klipsch image one bluetooth, quite like the build and weight. don't like huge headphones. hoping to wait for black friday deal... any suggestion is welcome

anyone finds the bass for klipsch image one bluetooth overbearing even after breaking in? also like the feature that i can use it wired after the battery runs out.

Hi,

Am thinking of getting a bluetooth wireless headset (over ear) mostly will be using it it on my tablet Note 8. however i'm looking for those which are able to pair with 2 devices. I read the the Sol Republic Track Air is one of them , do you carry them and what is the price?

Else is there any recommendation? mostly watching movies and listening to acoustic, blues kind of music.

We need to check with the local distributor if they have the Track Air.

Headphones for studying and chilling

Hi,

I'm an undergraduate and I'm looking for a headphone for studying and music purpose as it can get pretty noisy even in the library.

I'm using a 13 inch macbook pro for my music, and my priorities for choosing a headphone are as follows:
1. Noise cancelling/isolation
2. Affordable (on a really low budget at around $100+, hence need not be a high end one)
3. Comfortable (I'm probably be wearing it over a course of more than 5 hours, hence it has to be comfortable on the ears)

Would any kind soul be willing to give a recommendation based on the above-mentioned details?

Would really appreciate any inputs!
