My question is rather simple. Does anyone know a head phone with the decent sound (bassy and clear) of an AKG K518DJ, but with a microphone? Unfortunately, the AKG alternative: Q460 would be a bad choice.. It's both for indoor and outdoor, so a bit of a seal would be great.   Thanks in...

Hello     The sound of the AKG K518DJ headphone is exactly what I want. It's bassy and clear at the same time, excellent for producing techno and listening to classical music. But since I'm taking calls while I'm listening to music, I would need a headphone with a mic.. The AKG alternative...

Thank you guys for the compliments so far!   Unfortunately I couldn't complete the review because of my exams and because I needed to sell the Panasonic HJE-900, but I added a small sound impression. :)

I'm making a comparison review of their IE2: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/529637/review-comparison-sunrise-xcape-panasonic-hje900-and-bose-m-ie2

This is my attempt to give an impression of three different IEM's through the ears of someone who frequently listens to music while walking, running and going to the gym. Three IEM's and their prices Sunrise SW-Xcape (product link) - $ 90 on eBay Panasonic RP HJE-900 (product link) - $...

That would be of equal value as a random Amazon review, I'm not an audiophile and only have experience with some budget headphones. But thanks for asking. I like reading reviews on head-fi, including yours, and was just curious where Bose stands at this point. Bose is a company that is great in...

I'm really curious to see a review of the new IE2 of a real audiophile (they can't be bad forever, with all the profit they make, maybe it's time to bury the hatchet?). It is said to be very comfortable and all reviews I can find are very positive about the SQ. Maybe they would beat a pair like...

  Quote: Quote:   After reading this comparison thread, I ruled out the Panasonic HJE900 and bought the Sunrise Xcape. Thanks everyone!

I was completely sure I would get me a HJE900 (based on this review set thread and joker's multi-iem thread), but now I'm doubting again.The 900 seems to be quite agressive and not always accurate because of the increased speed? I find the remark of the increased speed a bit strange since it...

Quote: If only that was possible in Belgium :) There are a few big multimedia centers, but the only iem brands you'll find there are Bose, Sennheiser, Skullcandy, Philips,.. I can't test out the Re0, nor the Panasonic, nor the M3 without paying a lot of shipping costs to return it.  ...

After going through the multi-iem thread again, I think I wil go for the Panasonic RP-HJE900, only $ 90, any advice?

Thanks Kadano, I'll look into it. Btw, the post I linked does say that the build of Xcape looks like it's made from the same factory as Re0 (cables/housing), only the design has a cleaner and solid look.

Hmm, I could wait on the detailed M3 review of ljokerl and suffer a bit more with my Apple earbuds :) Btw, I tried to search for the website of Brainwavz, but could only find mp4nation?   Unfortunately I can't permit myself to buy a second pair :) I listen to classical/jazz 20% of the time...

The MC5 seems great for comfort, noice cancellation and it's a more known brand. But I see the review of the MC5 doesn't seem to be very good, nor the reactions? Quote:   Nice to hear that an IEM of $ 100 can sound better than a good head phone, it seemed to me weird because of the...

Thanks for the reactions! I'm currently listening to the Aurvana which I gave my mother a few years ago and I see why Brainwavz M3 could be a good fit, since the Aurvana kind of mutes some sort of basses (not all of them). I haven't tested the sound of Re0's, but I can imagine that it also lacks...
