The Sony EX310, JVC FXC50, Philips HSE9850 and Panasonic HJE450 are great buy under this budget but if you little over then RE0 are fantastic for the price and they compete well with very highend IEMs.

The Radiopaq Jazz looks like a great bargain.

I take it the fellows with the former recommendations have not yet heard the Sony MH1c.

 

Greatest iem for your budget.

Even works with smartphones.

we"ll let you be the judge of that.

for an even better trick.

don't tell your friend the cost. after he hears them, ask him how much he thinks they cost.

 

come tell us etysmile.gif

And recommend him to swap his MP3's with flac. I just swaped all my 128 and 192 kbps MP3 with flac. With my stock IEM, there isn't much difference, but MH1 show it's true potential on flac. Great instrument separation and soundstage...

Nope, I do not think that really happens with the MH1c unless you have an amp in the chain ..in which case I think your stock IEM might also show 'some' difference
