Hi people, would like some recommendation please~

- Your rig: Iphone4
- What type of usage: Movies but mainly Music
- File format used in your source: MP3
- Genre of music you listen to: RNB
- Headphone / earphone type: In-ear
- Other requirements (if any): mic for Iphone or volume control is there is any and prefers heavy bass
- Budget (in figures): S$20-30
-Colour: Preferably green or if not black

I am only a noob soft user, so looking for something good and worth the price so hope to have your expertise to help please~ Looking to buy in amazon for the black friday sale~ :)

hmmm buying cheap iem in amazon not very worth it, only worth if buying high end one at lower price

I suggest VSonic GR99, fits your description pretty well

Xperia Arc S
music + movies
Mp3
Kpop, Blues , Rock. (Dont really have a specific genre i listen to , listen to mostly anything as long as i like the sound but most of the time these few genre)

posted this Awhile back but still haven't really decided on anything yet. reduced choices a little ending up with um3x , w4r and 4ai. anyone know whats more suitable for my type of genres? would prefer more clarity instrument and vocal wise but there should be a decent amount of bass though. Or would you think going into customs would be a better choice :p

yes all are over the ears

what budget and the type of music you frequently listen to?
300+

dance, pop? some liquid funk, house music etc

any recommendations? the ones that go over the ear looks really bad when worn. or can i take out the wires for the westones and put in the straight ones?

i dun think they are supposed to look good in the first place, most professional monitors are supposed to be worn over the ear

more like a necessity since singers and dancing-singing groups (I'll just take girl's generation as an example) move around frequently and sometimes dance vigorously, earphones might fall off, so over the ears prevents them from falling off, reduce cable noise and also makes it comfortable for long performances

back to the point
high end IEMs that can be worn straight down include:
-Monster Turbine Gold
-Monster Turbine Copper
-Monster Miles Davis Tribute
-Monster Miles Davis Trumpet
-Etymotic Research ER4
-Panasonic HJE900
-Futuresonics Atrios MG7
-Klipsch X10
-VSonic GR01
-Fischer DBA-02/Brainwavz B2
-Fischer DBA-02 MKII

and a few more

thanks :D i understand that but do you think i could wear the westones straight down by replacing the cables? (or are they even replaceable in the first place idk..)

so out of those listed which do you think will be better suited for my usage? will be playing the music from samsung galaxy s3
