nexski 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 Hi all, still rather new to high end IEM earphone thus need advice from guru here. I am currently using a pair of Sony EX70 earphone feeding from an IPOD 3G. Had been using Sony and Audio-Technica IEM for a while and is looking to upgrade my existing earphone. I am keen on earphone from Shure, Etymotic or Ultimate Ear. My budget is about $200 bucks, can anyone enlighten me on which earphone to get? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loop_ 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 these are all good brands, and different people will prob give different recommendations to their taste. Why don't you just go down to either Jaben or Stereo Electronics? I believe they carry the brands you are looking at, and you can try them all until you're happy with one...

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 Go down and visit either shop. They have a wide range of IEM you can try on. Heres a list of IEM $100-$200 : E2C (SE210), IM716, UM1, Metro 2, Super.Fi 3, ATH-CK7. May miss out some so best you go down and check it out yourself. Theres also the Mylar and OVC if u like their sound signature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My existing sony is pretty ok, but feel sound insolation is not that good thus look for a better IEM. My choices of music range from pop, trance and jazz would like something that is a tad on the bass side. Any recommendation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok then I can say that you won't want to look at etymotics, which are very bass light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basshead 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 If you like bassy songs, then give Beyer DTX50 an audition at Jaben Network. The bass is I feel that the DTX50 bass is punchy and strong, much better than SF5eb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrhobbit 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 heh heh heh, basshead, wait till you try a SF5EB with a portaphile.... the bass goes way deeper and is punches so much harder than the DTX50 TS: for $200, the UE3, Mylar X3, shure E2 should be within your range. go try them out at any of the stores that the other members listed. Mylar3 only available at jaben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nofing 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2007 Hmm haven't heard much about Jays. Are they available locally? I'd still think the Mylar range makes for a better buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stereo Electronics used to have them and there's a local guy bringing in some d-Jays & s-Jays too here. Yeah, agree that the Mylars are value for money.
