Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[LemonPlusTea]

to make your iem last longer, most importantly would be to take care of it.

keep it in a pouch or box.
when you keep it, coil it around 3 fingers and not your player.
when removing the earpiece, dont pull on the wire but hold the housing then take it out.

I always remove the IEMs and coil it before putting it in the pocket tgt with my phone. :l

Find keeping IEMs in a pouch too troublesome.

pouch reduces the damage in case it hits something ma.
but up to you ah.

had bad experience with ajays(wiring) so wont recommend it.
can try sennheiser cause they got 2 years warranty.

- What type of usage: Generally music, occasionally movies
- File format used in your source: Mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: I listen to pretty much anything, from Kpop to R&B, alternative and electro...
