You can also try the Futuresonic Atrios M5 at $199!

Atrio M5 has REALLY good sub bass and bass. However it has quite a closed soundstage. Cables are awesome, never ever tangles and durable. Comfort-wise it takes awhile for the bi-flange to be seasoned. Once it is you can barely feel it in your ears.

Your rig (For usage with a laptop & smartphone)
- What type of usage (movies and music)
- File format used in your source (mp3/mp4)
- Genre of music you listen to ( pop/rock)
- Headphone / earphone type (iem only)
- Other requirements (if any) None really
- Budget: < SGD50

I was using the Soundmagic E10 until it got lost by a friend that borrowed my E10 -,-". I'm considering the affordable Philips SHE3590 or the Dunu Trident

Around that budget I'd prolly go with Vsonic GR02 bass edition or Trident

Astrotec AM 90. Tested the Vsonic but GR02 falls short as compared to AM90. ClieOS also think the same too,can check out his reviews at headfi.. Overall better sound quality as compared to GR02. Using 1 of it now :D

Edited: GR02 slight V sound signature may suits you more,so overall good buy

Guys ck100pro or um3x ? Which iems overall performs better ? :o need help :)

Huh? Both iem's sound sig are at polarising ends of the pole leh, like one's located at north pole one at south pole like that, how to compare both? UM3x is all abt the mids and not so great highs extension (slightly roll off treble), CK100Pro is all abt a coherent, clean detailed treble and spacious soundstage.

Go refer to my Head-fi discussion thread, there's a couple of active discussions gg on in there recently and afaik ClieOS (Tai frm inearmatters.net) regards this as one of the best top-tier BA universals ever released.

Knew it you would come :s13: btw where did you bought your CK100PRO ? Saw your review in head-fi and you wrote the price at 850 ? I think pricing around 400 range :o How's the bass for ck100pro ?
