deco20 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Hello, Im kinda new to these forums kind of thing.... Anyway, I need to buy a new IEM earphones. My Creative Ep-630 died a few days ago. I just bought them 6 months ago and they friggin died... I know Creative earphones suck to some extent but the sound of the EP-630s were perfect for me ears. I heard that there were audio pros in these forums that could help me.. I need to buy a new IEM earphones with can rival the EP 630s or better (last longer than 5 months)...the things is, is that I have no idea what models, brands are good? Music I listen to: U2, Queen, R.E.M, Manic Street Preachers, Fair to Midland.... Budget: $60 to $70 Any help would be most appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't say I didn't warn you, you might end up busting your budget. Edited June 8, 2009 by ical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I have been trying to find a shop which actually lets you try out the earphones, THX though JBL ?? what is a JBL?? sounds exotic and powerful...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deco20 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 After a night of researching, Ive comed up with a few contenders. JBL Reference 220 Sony MDR EX55LP Sony MDR EX35LP Sony MDR EX36V Audio Technica ATH-CK7 titanium My problem is that when it comes to earphones, I am a "Commercialized Mainstream" kind of consumer. The only brands I know are the typical ones like creative, sony, phillips bla bla... Help me out! I heard there is a shop called Jaben at Funan or something, my girlfriend told me it is a audio heaven... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most can be auditioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
