- Your rig: Samsung Galaxy Note 2
- What type of usage: Music/Movies
- Genre of music you listen to: Everything
- Other requirements: Previous / Next Song / Noise Cancellation
- Budget (in figures) 200+

Hi,
The previous and next song function will depend on whether the music application supports it. By noise-cancellation do you mean blocking of noise or active noise cancelling?

Settled for JVC FXT90 in the end Tried it and BA200. While BA200 sounded great with its rich sound and details, I could feel the FXT90's bass and overall it sounded lively and suits me better. Also the fact that the cables could be worn straight down was a plus point for me. Thanks to TeamStereo for great service as usual

You're welcome. Enjoy your new earphones. Don't forget to burn in.

Personally find that the soundstage of the W4R is wider and it has a more balanced sound. We have the demo set at our outlets which you can try.

any IEM to recommend below SGD200?
usually listen to pop, rock, rnb, clubbing songs etc etc..
idk much abt IEMs, but prefer those can block out outside noises and prolly something with heavy bass
i used to have SE215 and Klipsch X10, find the bass not strong enough i think..
SE215 was OK, but prefer something stronger if possible.
any recommendations? thanks!

For around $200 the SE215 would be one of the top choices. You can try the Futuresonic Atrio M5.

U might want to check out the se215 special edition. it has more bass than the normal edition. If you still need more bass, you might want to try audio technica's solid bass series as well.

any shops recommended to get replacement earbuds? I'm using Klipsch here...

Amazon selling original ones at USD12+ for 4 pairs and OEM ones USD3+ for 5 pairs, worth getting?

Hi there, you can consider the JVC FX-T90, TDK BA200 and the Shure SE215 Blue. The durability of the earphones will depend on how they are being used and kept. Most comes with a pouch for you to keep them.

Hi, you can consider the UE900 and the Westone 4R. Personally would find the 4R more all rounder.

You can consider the JVC FX-T90, personally find that the sound range is wider than the UM2. You won't need to loop them from behind your ears to wear so it is very easy to wear it.

You might want to consider the new A-Jays 5. It has a version for Android which comes with full remote control. We are awaiting for their arrival near the end of the month. Their SRP is $138.
