Never trust the manufacturer's own words yo

- What type of usage - Music
- File format used in your source - MP3
- Genre of music you listen to - K-POP
- Headphone / earphone type - IEM
- Other requirements - Bit of a bass-head but I don't like bass with just power behind it and no "clarity"? Not sure, still a beginner at this.
- Budget - $250 below

Looking at the Yamaha EPH-100,Vsonic GR07 and the JVC - FXT90. Came from the TDK BA200 so I'm not going back to it...

try vsonic gr07 bass edition or mk2.
imo the bass is pretty good quality mk2 extends pretty deep if u can hear it.
Nver tried bass edition before, so i not sure about the tuning.

Does Stereo sell the Vsonic/have it for audition? Can't find it on their website.

A active noise canceling headphones will cancel away noises below 200Hz. Aircraft engine noise is within this range.

Can give the Shure SE215SE a try also. Compared it with the FXT90 before and find it not as harsh on the treble.

Sorry we do not carry the brand Vsonic.

Can give the Ultimate Ears UE400VM and the Monster DNA in-ear a try. You might find the DNA has a heavier bass. If prefer more clarity the UE400VM will be better.

One popular choice is the Fischer Audio Consonance, you might like the bass for the metal songs. The Ultimate Ears UE400 is another popular choice if you prefer more treble.

What about yamaha eph100? Where can i try them?

I already have the UE350vi...is the UE400 a much better upgrade?

Yamaha EPH-100. TDK IE800

Most usually find that the UE400 gives a better treble response and the VM variant comes with a single button remote with a volume slider which is compatible with most Android phones.

Sorry but we don'y carry the Yamaha brand. Not very sure where can try.

Had you tried the Shure SE215 Special Edition? Compared them with the normal version of the SE215 and find that the Special Edition gives a tighter bass. You can give the JVC FXZ100 a try also, it has an extra bass driver to gives off a stronger bass.

 

[Izumanyan]

Decided to go with the Vsonic GR07 BE... Hope it performs...

Can give the Sennheiser CX685 a try. Alternatively you can take a look at the Sennheiser PMX685i and Aftershokz M2 because in-ear earphones will generate a lot of microphonics when jogging.

Thanks. What about the inspire pro from yurbuds?

Yurbuds is also another popular brand as they are non-in-ear so there won't be microphonics. However the Pro version comes with the iOS remote control which is not 100% compatible with your Galaxy S4. You might want to consider the Inspire Talk instead which comes with a single button remote and mic which is optimised for most smartphones.
