I am looking for an iem in the 500.00 and under range. I own rockit r50's as my primary listening iem's. Musical tastes are rock, classic rock, jazz and blues. Suggestions please.

I'm looking for some IEMs for keeping out the noise on long trips, either via plane or car.  I'd prefer to keep it at 125 or under.  Musically I listen to alt/rock, and this will also be used to watching videos.  So far, Etymotic HF5 looks nice and quite capable, but of course any suggestions...

Looking at: TDK BA200 Rockit R50 PFE 112/122 Source: laptop/iPhone, generally unamped but considering a portable. Which of those would you recommend? Which could also handle vocals pretty well? I just got the CKM500 and like the sound but its a bit boomy but Fun. I do Miss the clarity of my...

hey all,   I have been pondering the question what gives an IEM good isolation. the most obvious factor is the tip and seal. however, is there more? can the materials used, the driver, the way the IEM is built influence the isilation? as well?   I have shure se215's and the rockit R50...

I know that this has been asked before, but I cannot seem to find a thread discussing a badget around this. The earbud I had were ibeats by dre, which to me sounded decent. I would like a pair of earbuds that have mid- high bass, and excellent sound quality/ detail. If I cannot have both then I...

What are the best neutral iems under 150 dolallars for 2015?  I was thinking about a mk5 and a mc5 instead of an hf5 because they will be two in case one if the cable breaks. If your recommendation is above or close to 100 dollars please recommend me a detachable cable model. Thank you.

First off, a MUST read.   While the ADDIEM fell under the radar for a while [being vastly underrated?], Apple discretely revised the build of the ADDIEMs , but may have also tuned the sound a bit differently. The ADDIEMs labeled MA850G/A are now ME186LL/A. Certainly the performance of the...

I am a hiphop head but listen to all kinds of music (metal, rock, dubstep, etc.). I dont want a bleeding base but I want it to be fun... I also love nice highs so I can hear the singing in songs nicely. Additionally, isolation is fairly important to me. I don't really know what to look at, so...

Hey everyone, I've been using my AKG K450's for a while now and I wanted to get myself of IEM's. My budget is 100$ but I could go up a notch if the product worths it. I've been thinking about the Rock-it R-50 because they have been praised so much. Another pair that I've been keeping my...

My Bose IE2s died, so I need new earbuds, but it's very hard to figure out what would be the best choice for me. What I'm looking for is nice, clear and balanced sound, as well as a sturdy and comfortable design within or close to the 100-200 price range. I have yet to find a pair as...

I have had the RE0, R50, ETY, and now have the XBA-1 and 3, I am now wanting the MDREX1000 which would be the highest class iem I buy, am I not doing them justice using my iPhone 5, should I get an amp? I almost feel bad. I certainly like the sound my XBA3 produces and it blows away my previous...

It's been a while since I bought a set of iem that I really like. The last set I got was the Rockit R-50 and I really like it. It seem like it has been discontinued. So, I'm on a quest to find a new set of iem. While I like my R-50 very much, I feel that the only thing I didn't like it about it...

Rock-It Sounds just recently released their R-Studio and R-DJ headphones. Based on the success and excellent sound provided by the R50 earphones, I had to give both of these a try.   I'll be updating with impressions over the coming week or two. Currently burning them in.   With the limited...

Hi,   I'm thinking about purchasing Rockit Sounds' R-50m. As a person who wears glasses, I was wondering if the memory wire would cause discomfort. Any thoughts?   Thanks,   :Paul

I'm looking for a new universal iem for $300 max, but I'm not sure what to get.  I've tried the Rockit R-50 and liked the instrument separation and details, but it there wasn't enough bass and it sounded lifeless.  I also didn't really like the Vsonic GR07.  I'm looking at the RE-400, but it...

Hello everyone, I'm really bummed today as it seems my Sennheiser Momentums were stolen.  I LOVED them in just about every possible way.  I liked that they were only 18ohm impedance which meant they were easy to drive and could easily be enjoyed via my iPhone, mac, etc.  I loved the sound...

  NEW IEM'S FROM ROCK IT SOUNDS   I recently got in touch with Rocky Sharma @ Rock It Sounds regarding the R50, and learnt that there was actually some new IEMs in the works.  Currently, the new models are still in prototype testing stages, so there aren't too many technical specifications...

Ok so a few years ago I was into iems. I started with the shure e4c which I loved, and were my first experience with good transducers...until the cable broke. After that I picked up a less expensive but well regarded (at the time) pair...the klipsch s4... and enjoyed them. Than I went on a bit...

I have an E12 and Rock-it Sounds R50 IEM. I formerly used this equipments with iPod. However, ipod didn't really satisfied me at all. My fav genre is metal. But I do listen Rock, hardrock, blues and jazz aswell. Which DAP would you suggest me in this case? Dx50 or x3? The problems I encountered...

Hi everyone, I just got my rock-it sounds r-50m iem in the mail today.  So far I'm pretty impressed, I'm really liking the sound.  Still trying to get used to using the memory wire (a little difficult for me getting it seated right every time).   I was expecting to not like the stock tips from...

So I haven't bought a new iem's in a while. I have been using my ety h3's for years with my iphone, but just switched to a galaxy note 3 and I find them sounding too flat and unexciting. I don't know, with the iphone, their detail was just more exciting (I am sure that is because the iphone is a...
