Hi all,
I'm seeking advice on what new earphones to buy. I was using a pair of the Panasonic HJE-70 until recently until the left side crapped out on me due to internal wire breakage. I'll using whatever it is I buy with mainly an iPod video 60gb with no amp (which kind of defeats the purpose of portability for me). I listen to a large variety of music which can largely be broken down into jazz, house, trance, drum n bass, hip-hop, rock and metal. That being said, I do enjoy fairly substantial and strong bass in my choice of earphones, hence the HJE-70 (which had fairly punchy bass).
Currently I'm strongly considering the Super.fi 5EB because of it's reputation for having extremely strong bass and the fact that the cables in UE earphones are user-replacable. This is because I have a tendency to be a little rough on my earphones and so far, the main causes of breakdown with any earphones I've ever owned tend to be due to problems with internal wire breakages.
My budget would possibly extend up to SGD$400 and any suggestions that come in a lot lower than that amount would be appreciated.
My thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions given.
