Thanks for the replies guys , defintely helped alot.

Jaben is pretty far away from here , so it's kind of a hassle to travel over there.

Besides .. Isn't it abit rude to just walk in , ask some prices and walk off ? o_0

Hi guys ,

I need the price for these following IEMs.

Triple.fi 10

UM3x,

IE8,

Ortofon e-Q7

ATH CK10

Shure SE530,

Shure se420,

SCL4

I know it's quite a lengthy list , but these are my narrowed decisions.

Would appreciate if anyone could tell me the retail price..

Thanks!

Anyone knows the retail price of S-Jays , in Singapore of course?

Can be from anywhere , as long as the location is stated.

Thanks in advance!

well, does it sound weird? If so, yes. If not, you're ok.

But from most of the articles I have read , they say that one should just play music/noise continously through the Headphone for 100+ hours , if that is true isn't the 40 hour thing kinda contradicting?

I read from here ,

http://www.jlabaudio.com/burn.php

that

"The general rule is about 40 hours. Some people burn-in their headphones quickly playing them 40 hours continuously after bringing them home. This may not be good because, the diaphragm may be too weak at this time and should not be pushed to the limit. The best thing to do may be to plug your headphones into your computer or mp3 player, set the volume to medium, and let your music play for up to 4-5 hours a day for 5 days (perhaps, while you are at work or sleeping). After that, your headphones will most likely sound their best. Note: you do not need to listen the whole time."

Is this true? Because if it is , I might have f*cked up my ATH M50 by playing it continously for around 50~60 hours straight..

Do they sound better or worse?

I'm pretty sure its worst.

The UM2s are way above your budget. For around 200 your best bet would be either the Westone 1s or the UM1. The ES7 are slightly over your budget but I did hear good things about them so maybe you can try them out?

Then I guess if I would to choose IEMs , it would be the Westone 1s or UM1 then ^^.

Not sure about the ES7 , I'm still quite interested in the ATH-M50.

I don't know if Jaben has them, I think they do. I bought my M50 from Hung Brothers in Sim Lim Square 3rd floor. ATH-M50 has a pretty good noise isolation for a full size cans.

 

You may try Stereo as well, Plaza Sing, I think they might have them.

 

I haven't tried UM1, so cannot comment. I tried UM2 in Stereo, pretty good sound, I actually prefer UM2 sonic character over Westone 3.

How much did the M50 cost? I think I might pay a visit to stereos or jaben after mid years.. But jus. Asking the price since I'm not gonna exceed 200 lol.

What about the price of the UM2?

I'm quite interested in the UM1 and the ATH-M50 , but is it readily available in Jaben? Because I might be going there after my mid-years , so I wanna make sure it's ready for auditioning lol.

And btw , hows the bass in the UM1 , and the noise isolation of the ATH-M50?

I'm looking for a IEM or a Headphone as stated , it must have a good bass response , since I listen to electronica alot , but it must also have good clarity (Or the other way round) , not like my HD 212.. The bass literally overpowered everything on that one. To be more clear , It must have

1)Good bass

2)Decent clarity

3)Low Impedance (Since my Ipod Touch shouldn't be able to blast something which has 60+ ohms?)

4)Good noise isolation

or

1)Decent Bass

2)Good clarity

3)Low Impedance

4)Good noise isolation

I would also consider those phones with flat frequency response.. You know , those monitoring types , since I do make some music (You can check my soundcloud!)

My budget is below $200 , would really prefer IEM over Headphone , but if the headphone is portable and comes with a carrying case , why not?

So... Anyone have any suggestions?
