[youtai]

I have a Monster Jamz that I used for a couple of years. Wanted to have a upgrade to satisfy my music experience I would like to have some recommendation


Your rig: s3, iPad, pc.
What type of usage: music, video, games
File format: mp3
Genre: pop and rock, kpop, dance
Earphone type: IEM
Other requirement: awesome bass
Budget: around $250


I could try headphone as well as long as it is comfortable and doesn't warm my ears in 2 to 3 hours of music.

Thank you

I have an option to get a earphone from amazon. Now having dilemma of choosing between klipsch s4i II, x10 and shure se215ltd. Which one should I get? Listen to pop and rock music normally on iPhone.

Your rig: iPhone 5
What type of usage: music
File format: AAC
Genre: pop and rock
Earphone type: IEM
Other requirement: norm earphones (not IEM) simply doesnt stay on my ear. so i guess i have huge ear canal or shape or whatever. i also hope to get a value-for-money pair of IEM
Budget: around USD120

same problem

x10 would be my choice and I believe should be better for the genres you listen to

TDK EB950 or UE400vi, UE600vi is a single BA and does not carry the bass impact that the EB950 and UE400vi have

GR07 MKII would be fine if you want something more balanced
EPH-100 if you still like bass sound signature

I guess i'll try those and UM1.Any other brands to recommend? Headphones are ok too,but i'm wondering what type's good for commuting since i'm on MRT/bus often.

Good or not really depends on your listening pleasure. Is the 'famous' BA200 around that price range?

i checked stereo's website, close to $230. asking for recommendations so when i go down i know what to test out.

Can consider the SE215 blue/JVC FXT90.

SE215 blue
- extended bass compared to regular SE215
- detachable which Westone 1 don't have

JVC FXT90
- Musical sounding and don't have to wear over the ears =)

hmm if you take care of an IEM well it shouldn't break so easily

Shure SE215 if you can find under 150... at least if cable spoil just replace cable, the connector at the IEM spoil or the driver driver blow then LLST lor

You can look at the ATH-CKS77 but I do agree with getting a SE215 since detachable cable is always a plus. =)

 

[hypothermiac]

thanks for the replys. will go down and test out. btw, i heard the se215 has some connection problem between the wires and the driver. does the se215LE fix this? if not, is this problem occur often?
