need feedback on which IEMs best fits my needs

post #1 of 1
Thread Starter 

Hey all,

 

I'm currently shopping for a pair of IEMs that have (1) comfort, (2) excellent isolation, and (3)sound with ~$150 in mind.  I plan to take these primarily to airports.  I originally was taking my SRH840/HFI-580, but it's not as portable as I thought it'd be.  Would like a good portable pouch to come with them as well.

 

I primarily listen to alternative rock, pop punk, trance, and some post hardcore stuff.  So I need something that has presence and does not require an amp to power.

 

I've come up with the following list to look at:

 

- Monster Turbine ($150)  [ Would the Monster Turbine Gold/Copper be worth $50 extra? ]

- Klipsch X5 ($150)

- Ultimate Ears 700 ($170)

 

Have any of you owned at least 2 of these and could provide some feedback? Based on what I'm reading, it sounds like Monster Turbine is what I should be going for.

 

Thanks
