I recently bought a 4GB Zune which came with the 'Zune premium headphones V2' which just sound awful, I can hear a slight hiss at lower listening volumes and when turned up they are rather bland. There's no bass it's all mids, the cable is woven fiber and is noisy to touch.
So anyway I was thinking of picking up a pair of iem for around $20, something like JVC marshmallows that I had previously which unfortunately my cat ate! I start cruising around this place which I haven't done in months.. big mistake! ..now I'm looking at monster turbines and the likes at over $150... I really don't want to spend that much but I do like the reviews I'm reading, what are my options?
What I'm looking for is something that does the likes of the prodigy, daft punk, ministry of sound.. all types of electronica with vocals but above all detailed bass. Can I get away with some cheap v-moda bass freq or will I be disappointed when compared with my D2000? Here's what I've gathered so far to be a good pick with my taste in music.
• Sound Magic PL11 Super Bass - $13
• V-MODA Bass Freq - $20
• Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200v - $25
• NuForce NE-7M - $40
• Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 EB - $144
• Monster Turbine - $150
Thoughts, suggestions?
