Hi guys, been on a long hiatus due to ns, so haven't purchase a new iem recently despite my question months ago.

Looking forward for recommendations

- Your rig - iPod,S3,Laptop
- What type of usage - music
- File format used in your source - Flac, Mp3 increasingly spotify prenium
- Genre of music you listen to - Order of preference : Pop,Vocals,Ballad,Rock
- Headphone / earphone type - cIEM
- Other requirements - Previously owned a se535 and a er4s. That said, i dont think a colored iem like a 535 suits me thus went ahead and kept the er4 due to it's neutrality and superb isolation. Looking for something like a er4 but with soundstage like a Tf10 (possible?)
- Budget (in figures) - Looking for viable options

Hi guys, need your help!

- Your rig (iphone 5S)
- What type of usage (music, movies)
- File format used in your source (mp3, m4a, mp4)
- Genre of music you listen to (pop, kpop)
- Headphone / earphone type (IEM)
- Other requirements (if any) (noise isolation, clarity)
- Budget (~$50)

additional concern is whether paying more means more durability. because my previous 2 purchases of different earphone prices spoils around the same time. I would be able to stretch my budget till about $80. Thanks!

It does to a certain extend and taking good care of them helps too but sometimes luck runs out and still conk off It means time to change a new set so here's some good value iems for your consideration. Audio-Technica ATH-CKS55S, JVC-FX1X and the Fischer Audio Aleph Zinc
Do feel free to pop over to our stores to try them out.

- rig - Android phone, android tablet and com
- type of usage - music, movies
- File format - Mp3
- Genre of music - one republic, Taylor Swift, john legend, Frank Sinatra. varies because I also listen to pop radio.
- earphone type - iem

I would suggest sticking with corded iems for better sound and build quality based on your budget. You can give the Shure 215SPE( got walk-in promo,pls vist our stores to find out more) and the JVC FX-T90 a try and see if it suits you.

Erm... why not? CIEM's were made for stage performances where artistes sweat a lot. I wear mine for jogging too.

Till end March.
