They can go around $40 to around $200.
Do you prefer in ear or regular earbuds ones?
Do try out the Yurbuds limited edition if you want more since they come with both type of ear tips.

Does anyone know where to get the Brainwavz M2? Checked some Epicentre and iStudio stalls but just can't find it.

Or does anyone have other recommendations for earpieces around that price/quality?

Thanks!

Would prefer an in-ear one.
What are the selections apart from the Yurbuds one?

Hi guys, currently using the ie8 and really love the warm signature, wide soundstage and punchy bass. Isolation is quite a big problem though. Any recommendations with similar signature as the ie8, but maybe with better isolation? TIA.

Your rig: Sansa Clip+
- What type of usage: Music
- File format used in your source: MP3 320, FLAC
- Genre of music you listen to: Pop, rock, electro, house, rap, alternative
- Headphone / earphone typ: IEM/CIEM
- Other requirements: Bass is definitely a must!
- Budget: Willing to consider if it's really good.

Hi guys need a recommendation for headphones and headphone amp here.

I love soundstage in particular alongside with clarity. Not a basshead but not to the point of wanting an etys.

I recently auditioned the Shure SE 535 found it to quite be a liking along with the RSA Predator.

My previous personal audio device is an ipod classic -> GoVibe Martini -> TF10s.

Hoping not to get another govibe as i find their qc really ****.
