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 =(

ue 4000 bass not substantial leh...

But I think that is one of the few options with detachable cables, and bass I guess should be enough to satisfy most people I guess...

I dunno whether Fischer Consonance is sweatproof but it should fit your sonic requirements

if really really want sweatproof I guess Philips Oneil Treads would be the one you are looking for

Thanks bro... sweat proof is good to have but not important as such IEMs will fail after a while anyway...

Hello HWZ members, I would like to buy a In-Ear-Earphone but I am new to these earphones. I have been using my Samsung earphone for very long already.
I have heard of good earphones such as Beats, Jays, Sennheiser, etc but I do not know which earphone is suitable for me. I want to buy a earphone which is ~$50 or lesser, I want good bass too. I know this amount won't be able to get really good earphones. I am considering a-Jay One, which is about $58 or Razer Moray+, which is US$39.99. Can anyone tell me what earphone that has similar design, flattened cables (ribbon cable), microphone, L-shaped ear jack, and a pouch?

 

[kaixax555]

I think there is none that fits your descriptions perfectly below 50SGD

the closest match if I was to match all the descriptions would be UE400vi but it will set you back at 109SGD which is like more than twice your budget

guess your only choice is the Ajays 1 then if you want to buy a flat cable

But to me flat cable isn't a very good choice, so I feel Soundmagic MP21 would be a more sensible choice IMO

Actually microphone is optional, I don't really need it. Most important is flat cables.

hmm why?

Anyway... if no mic... hmmm none in my sub-50 list...

between 50-100 is all the Jays and UE400

If no mic can consider the plain ue400. Stereo having promo nw. Think is $69. Or check out sennheiser mm30i. I-device remote/mic. Shld b <$100. Not flat cable though.

Hey guys, my current pair of apple earphones went bad. Loved my previous pair of Jays D-jays which i bought quite awhile back. They aren't on sale anymore sadly.

I've tried on a pair of Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision and love the sound, but i just hate the asymmetric wiring. Based on my limited knowledge, i've surfed around and found these to be similar; the Creative Aurvana. Aurvana In-Ear Earphones | Creative Store (SG) Are they?

These are the specifications for the D-jays

What would you guys recommend for a similar type of in-ear earphones AND headphones for me to watch movie/game with? Is it possible to extend the wires of the headphones to about 3-5metres for me to watch TV serials and movies on the bed with? Thanks!

TDK BA200

 

[skrekro]

Your rig - PC
What type of usage - Really heavy prolonged gaming and some music+video
Genre of music you listen to - Dubstep, Metal, Hardcore, Screamo, Pop punk and all the heavy rock stuff
Earphone type - Headphone with mic (detachable or not)
Other requirements - I really need it to be comfortable for prolong usage. I rather it cup my whole ear instead of it resting on them. Mic has to be crisp. Mic/Vol controller preferable and if possible wires can be changed if damaged if not well at least a great quality one (3 of my old ones has this problem where you need to bend the wire or play with the volume control to get sounds on both side)
Budget: $100-$200

I'm looking at Astro's A30, what do you guys think of those? And could you guys mention the shop where can I get your recommended headphones on?
