Posted 05-12-2008 at 04:57 AM by gvsulaker22

Hello everyone, I need some advice on what IEM to buy for my ipod 5G. I have found all three of these headphones for around $60.00 and cannot decide on which one will give me the most for my money.

V-Moda Vibe

Shure E2C

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio

Can Jam '08: I'm really looking forward to this.

Akg 271 clossed back headphones unsatisfied

Posted 05-01-2008 at 11:32 PM by charliespears

I just bought this pair of headphones, love the sound quality of the high end but am disapointed with the low. I'm looking for something that still has great quality and comfert, but a warmer more bass heavy quality. If anyone has suggestions they would be greatly appreciated
