Fischer Consonance or Fischer Eterna

thanks for the recommendation! which is better in terms of bass, Consonance or Eterna?

ue600 is bass weak. the rest of the sound pretty balanced and airy. may not be what you are looking for?

my current ue metrofi 170, imo, has pretty decent bass. i did a research on ue 600 and there were plenty of mixed reviews, so now i'm having 2nd thoughts on getting it

yes and (personally, i think) um2 sounds better (but its very sensitive, ie. hiss prone)

um 2 is tuned for studio monitoring while westone 2 tuned for casual listening. just go listen @ stereo and find out which one suits you more

Yes it is, UM2 have been around for a longer time. =)

If you like something uncolored, I would say the UM2 and it has a detachable version as well.

Fischer Consonance I guess

but even if you have the world's toughest cables taking care of an IEM is still a must

I dun think the mic can be used on com since using the mic on PC requires the mic to be plugged to the pink socket

if you plug in to PC at most the earphones will work

thus I will recommend an IEM assuming you need mic only

Soundmagic E10m, UE350vi, UE400vi (if you stretch a bit)

In-ear no need active noise cancelling

And for the in-ear recommendation, Shure SE215 LTD and then get cable for iPhone. When cable spoil still can get replacement, but IMO as long as you take care properly it should be fine...

Headphones... UE6000, should sound good, has noise cancelling and has mic as well

You want bass, try Sennheiser CX870. After burn in, the treble becomes less harsh.
The bass quantity is +++ haha.. try@stereo.

UE4000 is a choice for all rounder sound and has detachable cable, can also look at the audio-technica WS77 - really solid bass but downside no detachable cable =(
