I'm in a similar spot. I found this, written by a member, https://www.scarbir.com/guide/best-sounding-wireless-earphones-50-dollar

Can anyone comment on the Shanling MTW100s in the gym?

I'm looking for help with a gift for my sister. Can anyone comment on the Macaw NE1S? https://drop.com/buy/macaw-ne1s-true-wireless-bluetooth-5-0-iem/details#details If not, can someone recommend me a few budget ($40-90) wireless IEM of good quality? (maybe with a bright signature?) Here's my...

Thank you! I would probably go that far, but my sister will want a single device- I'll check out that thread right now. I've posted something shorter over in that thread with a link to this one, but I am still looking for recommendations and experience.

Hello, So. I'm a low-budget audiophile and my sister has asked for wireless earbuds for Christmas (she is not an audiophile, but enjoys a base level of quality). I know nothing about IEM, or what wireless products are out there. I found the Macaw NE1S for $55, and I am looking for something...

I'm looking at a similar dilemma. $150-$200. Different setup of course, a technics sl-1300, but I've been scoping around for a while. I've been checking out the AKG K7xx's, what have you been looking at kdgl? Seems like an open headphone may be the ticket, but I don't know. Edit: oh crap I...

Ohh... I'm reading and the Westones sound wonderful. A nice studio signature without completely decimating the ambient sound.

Hmmmm.... Yeah, I'm a graduate student haha. I don't think I would feel comfortable even saving up $300+ dollars for iem. Maybe certain other audio equipment, but not iem.

Hmmm that design looks super interesting, it's definitely going on the to-consider list. Thank you.

I'm thinking of somewhere around $70-> not too much more than $100, flexible. If it takes more money, I'm happy to sit on it for a while.

Hello all, I am looking for my first set of in-ear monitors, but they are to be used in a somewhat peculiar situation, so here we go. I work in a physics/materials science laboratory, and there is a constant medium-loud drone from turbo pumps (ultra-high vacuum system). I would like to listen...

Quote: So a recording will only be unlistenable if it was only made listenable by low definition players smoothing out the crappiness in the first place. That's good. None of my recordings are especially bad, I just have some low quality files. My best media is on vinyl, so it's not like...

Hi there everyone, I have one last question I think,   I am deciding between the CAL! and SRH440, but I'm leaning towards the SRH440 due to their rugged design and reputation for a great mids with fairly neutral leveling. My question is what "unforgiving of source quality" actually entails...

Quote: So the 440 and the CAL! are equally easily driven. That's good. Do you know how well the CAL! wires hold up? They look more on the flimsy side from the pictures. That's how my last pair of phones broke- wire got loose and my left side conked out. Because of the irritation of my...
