I want good amounts of bass and that can also play Rock/Metal very well. I listen to Ska which contains guitar and also bass in a perfect flow. I also like Rap a lot. Any suggestions? Also $50 but maybe can be $60.

Hey again, Head-Fi,   I haven't been here in a while.   I'm in the UK, budget's around £40.   Kinda out of the loop with regards to what's new, what's a deal, etc.   Anyhow she's looking for in-ear headphones. She's new to them so I'd like to put comfort first, and decent...

Hello guys and gals!   It was my birthday a few days ago and I was rewarded with some new IEM's, but they were iBeats. I said before my birthday that I did not want iBeats but my parents had already got them at that point without me knowing, but it's the thought that counts eh  Anyway, they...

Alright, so I'm really new to serious listening. I've always loved music, but have just now begun to realize that all my earbuds have sucked pretty badly. Cheap skullcandy ink'd buds, and some cheap Panasonic buds have been my staple pretty much. So I've just recently ordered a pair of Mc5...

I'm fairly new to this forum but with so many new products out there I wanted to buy a pair of IEM's in the less than $100 category that are equally balanced through out the frequency spectrum. I'm using iTouch and classic as my Jazz listening source, Thanks for your input.

I have the JVC FX40 and the sound is nice, but I would like something more comfortable.   I want something that sounds at least as good as the JVC FX40...I would like to spend around $50 or less.   I am not against buying second hand if the deal is right and I get more comfortable...

Hello, I've been using the SoundMagic e30 at the gym while working out...they're amazing especially because of over the ear style but today the left speaker stopped working! they lasted only 4 months and before I had another pair I used at home that died within a year...so the build quality is...

My only real experience with earphones are Sennheiser MX 580 that I lost recently.  I tend to lose things at the gym alot actually.   I'm looking for something similar in sound quality, good mids and highs without boombing bass.  Has sennheiser been pushed aside in budget models for best...

I ended up with the of Sony MDR-EX210B after searching this forum for something low cost.  Sadly, I absolutely hate them.  They have way, way too much bass for my taste.     Is there such a thing as a good sounding, inexpensive IEM?     For reference, I have an old pair of Shure E2c's...

Hey-   I tend to burn through headphones at a fast pace when I'm working out, so I'm trying to find something that meets the following criteria:   Most important: -Inexpensive (<$50) -Deep insertion into the ear canal (Soundmagic E30 was too shallow) -Built to be worn over the ear  ...

So, I am looking for a new in-ear to use while at the gym. Sadly my right Sennheiser IE8 nozzle randomly decided to break off.

SoundMAGIC is a brand that has charmed many headphone users in the last couple of years. Their great sounding and good looking inexpensive earphones, like the SoundMAGIC PL11, have had reviewers compare them to products several times their price. It seems they have definitely not been resting on...

After doing some research on what moderately priced IEM to buy for gym use I settled on the E30. I found it on houseofdap.com about a week ago for what looked like a good price so I pulled the trigger. A few days ago I got an email saying they were out of stock and my money was refunded (I...

Hello, my Brainwavz are giving problems, the speakers started to not work randomly. I was planning to upgrade to the M3 but I'm not that sure it's a good idea not because they won't be good, but not good enough for the money or for my expectations - $90. I recently bought the Sunrise Xcape...
