is there stock for the jvc ha-fx750 and 850 in both outlets?

whats the difference btw these 2?

Hi there! Yes, we do have them in both of our stores. Basically, the JVC FX850 has detachable cables which the FX750 doesn't have. I personally prefer the FX850 because of its more spacious sound, clearer mids and I like the feeling that the artist is somewhat performing/ singing right in front of you. Both these models come with a free Comply Foam T400/ Black upon purchase as this month's promotion. Do give them a try bro, as sound is always subjective.

You can take a look at Fischer Audio Consonance V2, Ultimate Ears UE600vi and Sennheiser MM30i. Most of these models have the carrying case that comes in the packaging and we advise that you use it for better protection. IEMs also need some TLC so it doesn't give up on you easily. Do give them a try in either of our stores.

VSonic GR07,Philips Fidelio S1 or Hifiman RE400

These 3 are of great value, good for most genres and have great build quality.

Hi, thanks for the reply! How about those with remote control and mic?

 

[r-federer]

thinking of upgrading to ATH-IM03 or Westone Umpro 30. Auditioned both. Price quite big diff.. leaning more towards the IM03 due to preference for audio technica sound signature, but westone's IEM is really comfy on the ear. any other advice?

of cos westone handsdown, current user of both im04 n westone w40, their comfortable level is far more superior den audio technica

Hi there, I'm thinking of upgrading to the Senns IE800. My type of music is those EDM such as Hardwell, Tiesto and many others,what are your views? Is the IE800 made for these sounds? Those bass pumping sounds. Im currently using Beats Tour where the bass is powerful.

May i add the Audio Technica ATH-IM70 which I feel would be one of the best bang for $$$, a good entry level model that is quite an all-rounder as well so do check them out too ya

Beats is hard to beat when it comes to the bass department.Seriously going from Beats to the IE800 is really a big leap and even though the IE800 is a great iem, I'm not so sure if the bass part is going to be pumped enough for you. Did you have a chance to try them out yet. If not, please do and let us know your thoughts. You might also like to check out Unique Melody's Merlin( custom and Universal fit available) and AKG K3003 which have three pairs of metal aperture tips that alter the sound of these earphones( Reference, treble and bass). changing to the pair for extra bass might have a advantage over other models for EDMs. Both models and the IE800 are almost and above a grand so best for you to drop by our stores to try them out and see which suits you best.

I need some recommendations for new pair of earphones. I have used hippo vb twice, both lasted me slightly more than a year, which also mean the warranty is burst...
I quite like its sound, but I think I am giving up on it since the last is really quite bad for me. Anything you guys can recommend on around that price range and similar sound quality?

Hi team stereo, thanks for the reply. However, i also do need one with andriod remote as well.

Philips Fidelio S1 should fit pretty well if you are not really looking for volume control

Otherwise IM50 with HDC1iS android cable works too
