Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[produde1999]

Hey can anyone recommend a iem that doesn't really hurt your ears when leaning sideways on a pillow?

My usage would be to watch shows on my phone while laying on my pillow. And with my current iem in my ears, they kinds hurt abit.

A bit of a long shot but thought I would ask anyway.

Was having this issue with xiaomi piston 2, Samsung iem.
While xiaomi piston 3 youth edition didn't really hurt me when I lay sideway on my pillow.

Another solution is to just get a good set of speakers in front of your bed

I personally would prefer wireless..

Well then.. Don't spend too much on wireless products.. you are being warned.. good luck.

Is it due to they don't last long?

Im02 should be considered if you can afford.

Cant find IM02 in challenger funan digital mall to audition ..
Well , the IM70 is $138 and Westone UM10 Pro is bout $219 .. Both can get 5% discount with challenger card ..

IM02 is bout $258 .. Wah, my budget is extended by the day lol ..

I set my budget to $150 initially .. But tried the westone and thought it was quite good and the size is small too ..

Since u at funan already, might as well make a trip to the aldephi building beside it and try out the im02? There's so much choices there. Jaben etc and many many more.

actually, there isn't a best head/earphones at a certain price point. it is a all about preferences and taste.

It's just something I felt worth the money.
Or else can top up another 100 get customs =)

Okay thanks bro. Will keep that in mind, seems like no one is recommending the westone UM10 pro.

As Jerry Harvey commented in one of the interview, there is no single driver covers full spectrum. So if you want a decent sound, a multiple drivers IEM is a must. At least 2 drivers to give a good bass and low mid response while the high is also good. UM10 Pro just can't do it.

Strongly agree!

Depends on your preference. Personally I would strongly recommend the TDK BA200, or the GR07 w/ bass edition. Found the IM02 mids too strong in your face.
