Need Help Deciding on IEM's for Samsung Captivate

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hello, all! To start out, I have been looking around this website for a while.  I have been considering Meelectronics CC51, but my budget has been set at a STRICT $15 (no one I know sees the point in spending more than that.  I do.)  When I bought my Captivate, I had been using some iHip canalphones I bought at TJ Maxx for $6.  The headset that came with my phone is surprisingly good for being stock, and I have yet to find ANYTHING in my price range that even comes close.  I bought the Meelec M2P, and that is just terrible in comparison.  I will be using these exclusively with my Captivate, playing FLAC only.  I usually play Frank Sinatra (MFSL Silver Box) that is between 2500 and 3500KBPS and in 24/96.  As such, the files are not the issue.  I currently have a set of Sony MDR-V6, which I bought on eBay for $18.87 shipped.  They are the Japanese version, so they are older, but I don't mind that.  I would like something that is at least close to this level of detail and soundstage, and at a good price.  As I said, I usually listen to bands like Queen, Frank Sinatra, Maynard Ferguson, and occasionally Flobots, so detail and soundstage are important.  I do not care about bass, as long as the middle and high ranges are good.  I am looking for the best vocal clarity and openness for the price.  My main complaints with lower end stuff are about the "veil" over vocals, and a severe lack of detail.  I would prefer to buy from Amazon, because I can usually find a better price there ($41 for a black CC51), and their shipping is usually ahead of schedule.  They do not have to be from Amazon, I have just had good prior experiences.  I have already looked at the massive IEM thread, so I don't need to be told about that.  If you need any more information, please let me know.
