Stereo_Electronics 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 The usual choices, 1. Westone UM1 2. UE superfi 3 studio 3. Shure E2g or c 4. Beyer DTX50 5. Audio Technica ATH-CK7 I presume since you asked for "good" bass, it's not necessary a lot of bass so best for you to drop by to try to determine which has the best bass quality and isolation you need.

Durability can be quite an issue, send mine to Jaben for exchange twice due to driver problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shw24 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2007 hmm... KSC75 modded and recabled is hard to beat by the IEM with the same value... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loop_ 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2007 I guess well rated clip-ons could sound just as good, but they definitely won't isolate half as well as a well-inserted iem. So if you'll be using it mainly for portable use, the iem will sound much better. 150's enough for a decent iem i suspect... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCMK 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2007 Get the Denon AH-C700 from bluetin.com. Read alot of positive remarks abt them in headfi. Too bad price for the denon has shot up in bluetin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSC75 modded and recabled is hard to beat by the IEM with the same value... true true unforunately those dont isolate (leak sound in fact!) : Edited October 23, 2007 by barqy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
