earpiece recommendation.

- Your rig (LG F5, iPod Classic, Macbook)
- What type of usage (Music, podcast and occasional videos)
- File format used in your source (mp3, Spotify)
- Genre of music you listen to (Classical Crossover, Metal, Rock, Folk Rock)
- Headphone / earphone type (In-ear earphone)
- Other requirements (if any) (Not too bulky, don't need mic/vol control)
- Budget (Around $100)

My last earpiece was a Creative EP 630. Looking for something better than EP 630 with better vocal clarity and retaining the level of bass if possible. I'm open to recommendations slightly above my budget. Thank you all.

Can consider the Ultimate Ears 400. Personally tried it and find that it has good clarity and adequate bass. If you would prefer more bass than it, the Fischer Audio Consonance would be stronger in bass than the UE400.

Hi all,

i am looking for a new pair of over the ear earphones. I have used both the m6 and pl30 before, so looking for something similar and comparable. problem with both, is that one side always spoil, due to wire connection issue. both only can last like a year plus despite keeping them nicely in box after use. Any recommended brands and where to buy? also any idea where to buy m6 locally?

Your rig: ipod touch
- What type of usage music: travelling, studying
- File format used in your source: mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: pop and rock
- Headphone / earphone type: over the ear in ear
- Other requirements (if any) comfort and noise isolation, built quality
- Budget (in figures) : 50

thanks in advance!

Hi, unfortunately we do not carry Soundmagic anymore. Thus currently we do not have any over the ear IEMs available.

- Music - listen most genre except metal
- Headphone / earphone type: earphone

You can consider the JVC FX-T90 and the Shure SE215 Blue. If you prefer a clearer high the FX-T90 would be a better choice, if you prefer something more balanced the SE215 Blue is more suitable, personally use them for everyday use.

You can consider the Fischer Audio Consonance which most people find that they have a strong bass. Also the JVC FX3X which is known for its strong bass.

Currently using Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II. I quite like this type of sound. Tried Shure SE215 but i don't like so much bass. Anything close to the DBA-02?

Thanks.

Definitely the W4R on discount.

Westone 4R with Removable Cables

Or you can try the market place on HWZ to look for BNIB units as well if you don't want to ship it yourself.

You can consider trying the Sennheiser IE80.

last time i tried the ie80, didn't really like it. it was sorta too fun and it goes like too dry or too think.
don't know how to explain :/.
