OK, a quick look on Amazon, and it seems that I can get the Ultimate Ears 500, for well under my budget. I've heard my mate's 400s, and I really like the sound of those. But obviously, if I can get better, than I'd obviously get those. I can also get the Super Fi 4s, for well under my budget...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a pair of in-ears under $50, to complement my Creative Aurvana Lives.    I'd like them to:    - Sound good (I like bass, but not so much that it overpowers everything else. So, a good thump, without it taking over the rest of the song. I also like detail in my...

Hi, I'd like a pair of IEMs for under $50. I consider myself a basshead, and I loved the bass of the Sony XB700. So, is there a nice pair of in ears with lots of bass?

I ended up getting the CAL. Haven't got the dough for an amp yet, but if I don't need one, then that's cool. 

I've given up. I'm going to get the cheaper, easier to drive CAL!, and then slightly modify it so that my ear doesn't touch the driver padding. Getting the CAL! for 80 Aussie bucks. Then down the track I'll get an E11 to improve SQ. Job done.    I'm very sorry if I wasted anybody's time, but...

Quote: Alrighty, I'll save for that then. 

Quote: They're probably good, but when I'm wearing it at school and someone asks "What the hell are those? Beats are better.", and I reply "Oh, they're Takstar, they're the same as nice Beyerdynamics, but they're knock-offs.", it really doesn't help my case. People already think I'm weird...

Quote: Sweet. My family have a habit of getting stuff they think is good without looking at reviews, so good thing they lucked out on the audio system. No Bose here.   Now, when I'm listening to music at home and playing Xbox, I'll just use my receiver, and then when I'm on the go, I'll...

Quote: The problem with the CAL! is that in the review, MLE said that it wouldn't be very comfortable for those who don't like to feel their ears pressing against the driver padding. I hate that to no end. I can't stand it. Which is why I'm going with the DT770 Pro 250. God, I wish I could...

Quote: OK. I'm thinking of not bothering with that "turn down the bass" thing before, because it seems like there'll be quite an investment here if I do. Alrighty, is there something cheap and portable that can run Dolby Headphone on Xbox 360 and PC, that I can also use with my phone?   ...

Help a noob out here.    I want to get the DT770 Pros, and I was going to get the 80 ohm version (the one that is covered here), but I found the 250 ohm version for cheaper. How good is the 250 ohm version for gaming/music? I'm going to be using it for listening to music on my Galaxy S2...

Hey, I've got a question about the ModMic. Does it use a suction cup to stick?

Do they still fold properly? Also, wouldn't it look nicer if you glued the pad instead of holding it there with a rubber band? Also, I've never modded a headphone before, has anyone else tried this with the same results? I'm just worried that the positive result that the TC had is specific to...

Thanks for the responses I got. I do apologise for my impatience, I was restless. As for how I feel they should look, I like the 'metal' look. I want V-Moda M100s, but they're way out of my price range. Also, isolation isn't majorly important, I listed noise cancelling as a plus because i...
