Not personally

 

[Kiddream]

I wouldn't recommend it too. Bass is too much for my liking. Sounds muddy imo. And the filmsy cable is not that durable.

would you guys still recommend klispch s4i?

Need some recommendation

For below 300 I recommend trying out the JVC FXZ100 which is at 299SGD or if you stretch slightly the FXZ200 is at 369SGD, the FXZ100 comes in a aluminium body while the FXZ200 comes in a brass body.

This affects the sound where the FXZ200 gives a more full and warm sound. =) Better bass depth too if that's what you are looking for.

There's also the Futuresonic Atrio M5 that you can look at, it has balanced mids and treble, with deep rumbling bass =) Priced at 199SGD.

- My Rig: Cowon D2 / Denon AH-C751
- Type of usage: Music
- File format: MP3
- Music genre: Pop, rock, RNB etc. (mainstream stuff)
- Budget: Hopefully below 300
- Headphone/ earphone type: In-ear
- Other requirements (if any): I like crystal clear treble. Bass being weaker in comparison is fine.

Thanks for the help.

Can consider um3x, it's overall better but bass not as good.
Ue900 is definitely out for it's price range.
Also there's 1964-v3..

Do try out the TDK FXZ100 at $299 got pretty good bass rumble not those very punchy kind - good treble as well - there is a 10% off this month too.

The JVC FXT90 is a good choice as well at $209.

Stick to UM3x maybe? =) They flush nicely against your ears so should be really comfortable when sleeping.

Would the um3x be good for the genre I listen to?

Good is subjective.
But i think 4r will be better for ur genres.
