Senn CX300 alternative
Thanks for the input guys. I am in between the NE-6 and PL21s. Just one last thing, besided the quality of sound, are these buds sound-isolating, at least at the same level of the CX300s. I should be safe getting either the NE-6 or PL21 from eBay right? or is it like with the CX300s that you...- okinawa_joe

Senn CX300 alternative
Hello there, it's been a looong time since I last posted. I've been using Sennheiser's CX300 for about two years now and I'm very happy with them. As source I mainly use my laptop and a Meizu M6. The thing is these buds are starting to break apart, and I wanted to get something very...- okinawa_joe

Meizu M6 + Shure e2c a good overall combo?
The E2Cs are excellent companion to the Meizu M6, i have this setup. However I also use a pair of CX300 and even when they are bassier, they sound pretty good paired with the M6. The M6 is an excellent buy, here in Spain it's as hard to get as in Slovenia I guess, but via eBay you get...- okinawa_joe

Shure E2C broke, need earphone recommendation
Well yeah, I was a bit concerned with that, but reading up on the seller's feedback calmed me a bit as it was very positive. My E2Cs are damaged for good, if I start moving the sound gets all distored.- okinawa_joe

Shure E2C broke, need earphone recommendation
Well, I am actually thinking of getting the E2Cs again ? maybe they solved the reliability issue with the cords. What other IEMs are on par with the E2C sound ?? er6i have the "clinical" sound, SuperFi 3 Studio ??? I think I am looking for a fun sound rather than anything else. anyone ?- okinawa_joe

Shure E2C broke, need earphone recommendation
Just got myself a pair of CX300 on ebay for 19€ which I think is good enough even for backup phones. Now on to the serious buy!...- okinawa_joe

Shure E2C broke, need earphone recommendation
Hello there, I just got a Meizu M6 PMP and have been using my E2Cs a lot more again, I got these about 3 years ago. I started noticing wierd noises and thought it was the PMP, ended up being a faulty Shure cord, right there where the actual earpiece bends... Anyhow, I love the E2C sound, I...- okinawa_joe

I have been using an iAudio U3 2GB for a while now and soundwise it meets all my expectations, it's got a myriad of features, plays video, pictures, MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC formats, it's damn small and with a full color screen. The battery last about 12 hours or so when using it to play music...- okinawa_joe
