Haha if only I had the money I would be glad to. I'm upgrading my whole rig though so I need to save some money for other stuff.

I had the sonys in my crosshairs but ericp got to throw that stupid FAD wrench in, and now it's like this........ ooops missed!
 
Thanks ericp!!!

 
It's an interesting time indeed for sound tech, so many good options so fast, and for so much cheaper....... truly hard to keep track/ up. ha
 
edit: good thing we got our beloved Dsnuts to do all the dirty work for us hohohohohoho

Say sorry to me as well lol! I thought that the only big decision I had was between the fxd70`s and 80`s (for which you supplied some great info). That was before I realized that this thread had other goodies in it as well like the FAD. Goodness!

Okay, sorry to you too. But hey, they got me many times like this when I was just starting out on head-fi. Best advice is find one (or two) earphones you really really like and then delete your head-fi account. lol

 

[Prakhar]

Thats a great plan. LOL

 

[Gee Simpson]

Thats a great plan. LOL

I agree!

I could never do it though!

Which of the bassy earphones has the best build quality? Which has the best isolation?

Probably the Sony, but the III isn't bad. But no frills with the III. You get the earphone and three sets of tips. That's it. The money is put into the sound and I think that's how they keep it under $100.

 

[Prakhar]

Are the adagio 3s mostly sub bass oriented or do they have both a nice mid bass and sub bass?

How's that working out for you LOL! Anyway, I was happy enough with my px100-ii and my almighty modded ksc75's. But I couldn't leave well enough alone. Now I have the glorious ha-s500 (with ath pleathers), and I think I will be complete once I get some good iem's (leaning towards the 80's). *Then* I can delete my head-fi account (for a few months anyway!).

whoevcer has the xb90ex - change the stock tips for some wide bore tips, as the stock ones definitely restrict the sound and make the bass sound bloated... wide bore tips open up the iems, bring out the highs and mids a bit and make the bass tighter... also, good extensive burn in with loud music is necessary.

 

[Omnom]

Ok,
So I take it there are no recommendations?

You read what this man wrote about the ATH pleathers on his HA-S500? Check out the HA-S500 thread. I am telling you ericp. You think they sound good now. Just so you know Waynenumm, Ericp here was the first to buy a HA-S500.. You listen to what this guy says he won't steer you wrong.
