120 is not the strongest but its supple , 3900 is stronger but not like R3 , and peter123 has suggested a nice looking phone , cable looks good too , but if you can do with bigger phones , try finding a memorex ie400 , these guys a have externally braided cable .
comes with a pair of comply too , for $12 a comply is like , use it with something else . and the sound is not bad too , but isolation is not the best for sure .

Ah, so JVC added detachable cables to their flagship. Good stuff.

Yep! Its using an MMCX Connector (following the likes of UE900, Shure and the current Westones).

They also used a larger driver at 11mm for it!

I found that the FX850s generally responds very well partly due to the large 11mm Wooden Driver Unit.

Overall the midrange improved by quite the mileage coming from the FX700.

I believe you would rate these pretty high up on upgrade cables, stock cable sounds decent though I would imagine if FX700 is 9.3/10 the FX850 probably won get pass your 9.5/10 hallmark, with the right cable such as Stage93's 93spec I believe it would score a 9.6~9.8/10 in your scorebook! (^_^)

  Hello, after buying the Etymotic hf5, I am looking for a completely different sound signature. I am looking for the widest soundstahe poossible iem that is bass oriented, but won't completely over power the mids and highs. An audiophile bass iem with the with the widest soundstage basically. My budget is under 150. Thank you for your help in advanced.

ZapX629 beat me to it - the three that come to mind are the GR07 BE, MA750, and EPH-100. The GR07 BE is the most accurate of these (i.e least different from the HF5 in overall balance, but still different) and has the most "open" sound. The other two are bassier and warmer, but have more forward sound (especially the EPH-100), though both still have good width (and, in the case of the EPH-100, really good depth).

  Can anyone recommend some cheap IEM that have a really good cable. Since my Vsonic VSD1's broke.
These will just be used when riding, so want something under $20. How are the Meelec Sport-Fi M6?

I still have my M6 and M9 from 2009, both still work fine. The black M6 has a sturdy cable.

Sounds like something worth trying. Can't say I've been blown away by any universals lately. The best thing I've tried this year is probably the Dunu DN2k.

"MI in-ear" is what the Piston is called in the Chinese domestic market, I believe (because Xiaomi is known as just "MI"). Not clear which version is being referred to but it should be easy to tell from pictures.

Hi all,
 
I'm new to this forum, and I joined to find help looking for new IEMs. I'm sure most people are tired of hearing this, but what are the cheapest bang-for-the-buck IEMs ($30 and under) that I can buy right now? There's so many IEM reviews on here, that I'm a bit overwhelmed, and I'm not sure what to choose. Sound quality is most important to me.
 
I looked at some of the reviews and am considering these so far:
 
KZ-ED2 ($12)
Xiaomi - Piston 2 ($25)
JVC - HAFX101 ($15)
JVC - HAFX40 ($19)
Philips - SHE3590 ($11)
 
Which one of these would be the best pick? Or any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
 
Also, about the KZ-ED2, is $12 a good price for it? Or do any of you know if the price will fall again? A few posts back, someone mentioned that it was going for less than $10.

Also, I just want to thank the person(s) that is responsible for all these reviews. I can't imagine how much time and work it took to put all this together. Cheers!

Havi B3 Pro1, with that budget you can easily afford an amp for it if you don't have one already.
