Ears wet not recommended to put on earphones straight but they should dry naturally right? Can always throw a pack of tissue paper in your bag so can dry faster =) Getting the right size ear tips is important too

If not, try getting earphones that goes over the ear. =) Should be better.

I see, but the UE 4000 is quite small so can give it a try.

Best to let us know your comfortable price range so we can recommend or best to dry your ears with pack of tissue paper in your bag so can wear everything =)

just bought a UE350 from Stereo Plaza Sing for $79, left ear bass practically non-existent, and lower volume too compared to right ear bud. bringing back for exchange soon. wonder if any forummers have better recommendations?

read online that Logitech UE has quite a lot of quality issues recently and i am not the only one with a less-functioning ear bud. earphones also not durable, can last few days to few months only.

i was actually looking for sony earphones at first but was told that Stereo doesn't sell them anymore?

I tot stereo selling ue400 for $69? not sure about ue's quality issues. the most I read is their strain relief not very well designed.

for sony please go to sony store at simlim sq. 2nd or 3rd floor one also can. I think nowhere else cheaper liao.

Limited ones left, UE we used to have a lot of problems with the UE 200 which we stopped bringing in afterwards.

The rest is fine so stocks still available.

Team SE, thanks for your service, and a Filipino dude who gave his personal advice to help me decide. Just got my BA200 earlier and I took my time to compare 4 different ones. Consonance, SE215LE, TDK IE800 and BA200.

Was in dilemma between SE215LE and BA200, but the clarity on the BA200 won me over. Though the bass on 215 was quite tempting, but my listening preferences were more inclined to vocals.

cheers!

Dunu Trident at $59 do try it out!

I heard Dunu Trident earphone turns quite heavy when you wear it for too long . I might consider Dunu Trident , but I don't really like the design of the center part of the earphone . Any other earphone recommendation ?
