Hi, I'm looking for a new IEM (using headphones that came with mp3 player right now). Looking at the Brainwavz M2, Brainwavz M4 or MEElectronics A151. I mostly listen to rock, indie, folk and instrumental. Any advice would be appreciated.

I think you placed them in order of sound signature.. M2 are the most bass-mid oriented with the warmest sound.. and A151 is the most neutral-analytical.. The first two are dynamic and the meelectronics single armature..

What is the difference between the two - if there is a dummies thread please push me in the right direction.
I am looking for a pair of IEM for a lady at work who is a professional signer out of office times - she is using iPod earbud and I am wanting to upgrade them for her.
Thanks

Stop trying to bang your coworkers! /joke
Check out the thread in my signature. Currently, the M4 is on sale for 28 dollars at amazon and the a151 is on sale for 22 dollars as a one day sale on midnightbox. Either one would be great. Since she's using apple earbuds, she might like the V shaped m4 but the a151 is more neutral/analytical and has better mids

Dacrazydude,
That's for that - I think I will grab the M4 for her.
Oh and it would be so worth it!
