Looking for ear buds or iems that sound better than apple earpods
Recently I purchased K375 and K451 because I trusted AKG and the reviews I could find didn't have anything bad to say. Once I listened to them I was so disappointed. They both sound horrible compared to apple earpods and my hd280pros took a dump on both of them. I decided before I try...- mikefromcali

EarPods..! - Its what apple calls its next gen Earbuds.. Fancy anyone?
The apple earpods sound clearer and more realistic than the akg k375 that sell for $120. Apple earpods are definitely worth more than their $30 price tag.- mikefromcali

AKG 375 vs Yamaha-EPH 100 vs Audio Technica ATH-CKM1000
I have been a fan of akg for years and have been on this site for at least a year but I didn't make an account until just recently when I compared my k375 with apple earpods and felt like akg ripped me off and put a $120 price tag on $10 earbuds. Even my k422 sounded a lot better (even though...- mikefromcali

Fiio E11?
E11 will do the job they have a two level bass boost. I use E11 with my sennheiser hd280pro- mikefromcali

I have a $100 giftcard to Crutchfield and I am not sure which IEM's to choose from
Do NOT get the k375s the quality is comparable to $10 wal-mart headphones. Muddy and muffled beyond belief. Drum sets sound like they are made of tin cans through these. Biggest disappointment I've ever had buying a product.- mikefromcali

AKG K451s -- did I buy fakes, or do they just need burn in?
I purchased the k451s off the manufacturer website harmanaudio.com and I was very disappointed in the quality, very muddy and muffled sounding. I'm in the process of returning them- mikefromcali

AKG 375 vs Yamaha-EPH 100 vs Audio Technica ATH-CKM1000
Today I recieved the k375s from harmanaudio.com and have to say I was utterly disgusted at the sound quality. I am currently in the process of returning them. I put them side by side with apple earpods and apple earpods blew them out of the water. Anyone who buys the k375s is getting ripped off.- mikefromcali
