Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[TeamStereo]

Philips Fidelio S1 should fit pretty well if you are not really looking for volume control

Otherwise IM50 with HDC1iS android cable works too

Yes the HDC1iS would work with the IM50 or if budget permits, the IM70.

- Your rig: Samsung S4
- What type of usage: Music and Youtube
- File format used in your source: MP3
- Genre of music you listen to: Music of all kinds - Any genres other than rock and techno
- Headphone / earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements: Tough build quality with tangle free cable.
- Budget : <$150

Forgive me, I would like the best bang for bucks ear phone with the above requirement.

I would suggest the Shure SE215, warm and rich sounding mids, good bass but not the boomy type, very pleasant to listen to, and most bang for buck at this price range. Wires are thick and tough, and Shure wires are changeable.

I got mine at ConnectIT at JEM at a walk in price of $139, usual price is $199.

Beside going to JEM where can I get it at this price at other place?

Any update much appreciated.

There are a few outlets, you can find the one most convenient to you.

Should probably call them to check if they still have this deal, before heading down.

Thanks for the update.

Can try the Audio Technica ATH-IM50 too.
Cheaper than the SE215 but most people feels that it sounds better.
Can also consider the Audio Technica ATH-IM70, which is similar sounding to the IM50 but with more bass.

Have you considered having CIEMs? You can check out our Unique Melody models and you can audition them in either of our stores.
