    Quote:   Are there any other IEMs similar in sound and price? These ones look great and after your suggestion, I've read some more reviews and have taken a liking to them. But I'd also like to draw a more detailed comparison. How would the EPH-100, GR07 and the SE215 compare to the...

    Looking for IEMs under $200 with an overall balanced sound; a warm midrange with a controlled bass that's got a nice kick to it (nothing too overdone though). Comfort is key but isolation would be an appreciated bonus. Also, ould it be possible to know the general opinion on the thinksound...

    320 vs. VBR and CBR.

    So I'm not sure what to gather from the responses so far, but after some additional reading, it seems that VBR provides better quality? I also noticed that often even though two files are listed at 320 kbps, the quality varies (one sounds pushed back, distant almost), despite being CBR files...

    320 vs. VBR and CBR.

    I've ran around the forum trying to look for an answer to my question exactly, but the results didn't really turn up well. That or I'm just really bad at doing research. Anyways, here are my questions:   1) If you have a music file at a bit rate of 320, does it matter how it's encoded...

    I'm looking for a pair of IEMs to be used on a daily basis; comfort and isolation are pretty important, though comfort would take precedence. I prefer a warm midrange with an accurate and decently impactful bass. Trebles are not too important. The real issue is the brand as I'll be looking for...

    Quote:   Sorry for the late reply. The Phonaks come with an in-line remote control right? I've found that it causes interference when listening to music on iPod Nanos for example. Do you know if this causes similar issues? And I mean interference in the way that when you move the control...

    Back here again, I've amped up my budget to around $200CAD. Still looking for an IEM with warm mids and an accurate but not overly punchy bass (not the main emphasis though). I've got small ears, so something that its comfortable with decent isolation would be great. It'd be great if the...

    Quote:   I'm leaning towards the GR06, but I'm wondering how the Meelectronic A151/A161P compares with it. And what about Logitech UE 500/600? Truthfully, I'm not craving for heavy bass, just something that has a nice kick to it (I suppose something with more a mid-bass), if anything, I'd...

    Quote:   I'm really drawn by the Phonaks, the sound signature is exactly what I'm looking for and enjoy, but the price here in Canada is about $200; is there something a little less expensive? Preferably around $100. I know it's hard to find similar quality for a lower price most of the...

    Quote:   It's absolutely fine! The HF5's are ones that I'm considering, but since you mentioned the treble being revealing, I'm not too sure that would be the way to go, considering my ears are kind of sensitive to higher frequency sounds. The PFE122s, I haven't been introduced to them...

    Thank you to TwinQY for the heads up about this thread.   I'm looking for a pair of IEMs, namely one that is comfortable and compatible with small (really) ears. In terms of musicality, a good soundstage would be nice along with decent noise isolation. I currently have the SRH840 over-ear...

    Well I didn't get much of a response on my first post, so I'll to elaborate on what I'm looking for.

    Quote:   The EPH-100s seem to fit me perfectly, but the price is out of my range; I'm looking for something along the lines of those IEMs but is priced below $100. Thank you for your recommendation though!

    Quote:   They seem to be geared toward mobile device use. I'm looking for something that is more for music only, despite using only an iPod nano. Are there any other suggestions?
