Thanks for the recs, but portable headphones are like the freckled, unwanted stepchildren in my audio family. On the go, I'd rather use iems, and at home I stick with full-sized phones...or iems.
 
Plus I'm limiting my audio budget to stuff I have a hunch will excite me. I only have so many ears.

Not trying to be an ass here but I thought this was meant to be the discovery thread? $400+ iem's aren't a discovery imo.

^ "Discovery" is all relative............................. but yeah i fully agree with your sentiments there gee.

From the OP:

 As there are so many products out there in headphone land that just goes unnoticed. I hope this thread will uncover some gems that should not be missed by this community. Everyone on this thread should feel at home and no one is going to judge you based on your experience with said new products. I welcome everyone's take on anything they feel is a discovery for them. Remember this is not just a discovery for the community but should be about a discovery for you. Thanks for reading and supporting the thread .

 
No pricing distinction. And "gems" can get pricey!

these higher priced "discoveries are always less talked about. The bulk of what goes on here is lower priced stuff and I am completely happy wiht this thread that way. I wouldnt want it to avoid gear just because its priced a little higher than a $20 iem that sounds great. If it was solely just lower priced stuff, I think I really would unsub. I enjoy learning abou tthese budget options but therye not my focus right now.  To see people like Ericp enjoying new gear like he lists on this thread keeps me coming back.

Bass is tight and organic as can be....so much emotion is the miss its awesome...treble so clean and transparent,it make the doppios veiled ...just get them guys ...if you can afford them . It even makes the mikros and te-05 sound veiled in comparison .

[mochill]

[mochill]

These are my favorite iem so far and the best of jvc...its studio monitor sound which I guess is flat

Nah, discovery is anything new found that may be interesting. No one defined it as budget gems. We've had $8 Monoprices to $500 Cardas' and lots in between. Mostly Japanese and Chinese brands(though that spawned a separate thread) and less mainstream stuff than it having to do with the price.

Do the housings stick out a lot? Fit was more of my issue with the FX700. I should be getting the Aurisonics Rockets soon enough and I believe I will be able to push them deep into my ear canal. Damn. I'm pissed the housing is so large. Will look like a fool with these on my commute, much like the last JVC iems (FXZ100 & 200). I just can't see myself going back that route.

Thank you caracara08 and waynes world for somehow getting me off of my elitist mountaintop to exchange ideas with you little people. Although I've been informed my credibility may be shot (on another thread)because I described the EX1000's treble as like hot daggers in my ears with hot sauce poured on it. But...let them non elitists eat cake I say! lol

 

[Gee Simpson]

No worries guys. I guess I stand corrected

Did you pledge for the Aurisonics Rockets kickstarter? I see you have 2 Aurisonics on your best of. Would love to hear your impression on them.
