how about Creative Outlier ?

 

[wiccawizzards]

I used to like over the ears but now that I wear glasses, it's very rare I find headphones which are comfortable for long period of time (or maybe I'm overly sensitive with a big head). The only two which I can wear for extended time are the Xbox Wireless Headset and the Creative EMU Walnuts.

I've tried quite a few others e.g. B&W P5's, Beats Studios, SoloHDs, Grado, HK Classics, etc but they all 'pinch' me too much.

Oh yeah, i forgot about my glasses. Ha ha.

My glasses are the one from Parasite Eyewear. it grabs my face but it doesn't reach behind the ears. Not the flashy kinds

That is probably why I am not bothered by my glasses.

imo no , i find w4r sound better den wX0 series . Just upgrade the stock cable to a better one like ALO SXC 24 , it will sound so much better

Any other recommendation ? Feel that the w4r got not enough bass

S1, damn nice sound signature, smooth mids and nice treble, no harsh & fatigues, usually dynamic drive more or less has high treble an issue.
From S1 gave me very balance and smooth mids, bass will be slightly sonic bass than others BAs drivers IEM.
The overall tunes was awesome and balanced reference IEM.
The bass are really great punchy & solid bass an over your ears.
S1 + Mojo = Heaven, really really enjoyable.. The outcome would be warmer than others BAs drivers.
I love S1 very balanced, not too sharp for treble and not too low mids with not too lack bass.. Everything just right for me.
My Summary
Fitting very comfort wear, very relaxing won't feel that weight, noise sealed very great fits to me, cause the nozzle T100 size just right to covering with foam tips, no sound lack at all.
Cable wise very smooth jacket for cable, non sticky with right length as well.

TFZ S1 do the well done job

Both prices are w/o charging case.

Backbeat Go 2 ($139) or Go 3 ($169).

Go and see if there is promo on Carousell or not.

is it worth while getting the charging case ? what about the shure SE215 ?

Hi, i have got a backbeat go 2 with charging case but i found that there aint a need for the charging case. I charge the earphones at home after using and if u really need to recharge it on the go, can use a portable charger!

Anyone uses the plantronics backbeat pro with iPhone 6S+? Is the range good and sound quality at say 20m away?

I will like an earphone that is able to provide a good replacement to my current aurvana 3? Was looking around and I saw the vsonic vsd 3/3s. Is that a good replacement with a good price point as a good replacement for my current earphone? Thanks for your inputs.
