SOme of the best sub-$100 IEMs I've had were the SOny XB60eX. I heard they are discontinued, but does anyone know another Sony IEM similar to them? THey were so good, and also tangle-free due to their design

What about the Audio Technica IM50? It seems to give good bang for the buck, but it's a Japanese import (no warranty probably) Anyone familiar with the FIDUE A71?   The NarMoo W1M seems pretty appealing. I've narrowed it down between these 3 and the Sony XB90EX

The NarMoo W1M is very low-priced for a Dual-Driver. Is it too good to be true?    For bassheads, is the Sony XB90EX worth a try? I feel like the Sony IEMs tend to last the longest, but that's just out of personal experience to be honest (I had the XB60EX, MDREX85, and they survived several...

Hey guys,   I currently use the Dunu Dn-22 Detonator, and also had the Sony XB60EX at one point too. I started off as a basshead, but am starting to prefer balanced sound signatures.   What would be a cheap, solid Dual-Driver iEM for someone who's taking the plunge for the first time? Would...

I was using the Sony MDR-XB60EX which were pretty bassy but didn't drown out the other noises at all. Eventually the sound would be lost in the left ear unless if I turned the wire at certain angles or kept my head still. Then they just sort of gave out. Since these earbuds were flat cable, it...

I really hopethe IM50 lasts me more than a year if I take good care of it. Im really sick of ear buds eventually losing sound on 1 side. I don't like the idea of replacing them every time

Yeah, these suggestions are very helpful.   I'm so glad I came on Head-Fi to ask around for IeMs. Otherwise, I would've probably ended up getting something like Beats earbuds, Bose, etc..   I'm starting to think any recommendations from Head-Fi would be better than those

In think the im50s might be a good way to start off. I looked at brainwavz IeM sets as well it then I heard that people had to replace them with him one year. I'm just gonna go with either SE215 or im50/70. Ill probably a check more reviews on which IeM has more durability and see. I sort of...

So the ATH IM70's are much better sounding than Shure SE215s? The SE215s seem to be extremely popular, but I've read that Shures don't get super-good unless if you go higher in the price range.   I also found ATH-IM50s as well, but how much worse would they sound than the IM70? The ATH- IM50...

I've heard good things about higher end Audio Technicas. But would they be a long-lasting? Since ATHs are a Japanese import, i m not sure how the warranty or coverage would work if something went wrong

But can't you buy individual parts such as the left & right speaker modules as well if something goes wrong? It sounds like its better than having to replace the entire headset if one side goes out, and I've heard Shure sends you a new pair during the warranty period if anything goes wrong.  ...

But wont the Shures hold up better because they are also covered by a 2year warranty? Did u feel that the SE215s were good at their price point? Or would other alternatives be better in the sub-$100 range. I thought about getting a nice pair of Sonys but their warranty is only 90 days and...

I have looked through the sticky thread which contains reviews for hundreds of headphones in all ranges. However, I do not wish to fork out a large amount of cash on ieM's only to have them eventually lose sound on one side.   Do you know of any brands which at least offer good warranties in...

I was thinking about getting the Sony MDR eX85LP earbuds because I heard that they had well-balanced sound and they cost very cheap refurbished on Amazon. I considered getting the MDR-XB50 or XB60EX, but I heard the 50 has too much bass, and the XB60EX is imported from Japan so there is no...
