Custom IEM Repair
Does anyone have any places in the US that they would recommend that can diagnose Custom IEM problems/do repairs? I have a pair of custom reshelled TF10's (from LEAR in HK, stay away from them) and one of the ears stopped working, and LEAR doesn't have any warranties for repair nor are they...- GamBino

Best IEM under $100 for jogging and going to the gym.
I'm surprised no one has recommended SoundMagic yet. Recently at the end of May, SoundMagic has released 2 new models for working out, you should check out the E30's. They're only around $30 USD, and I've heard that the comfort they provide is unrivaled. For that price range, it's hard to beat...- GamBino

IEM for hip hop under $100
My recommendation would probably be either refurbished Monster Turbines (if they're still available), or the Shure 215's, both of them will pack enough bass for listening to Hip Hop, while not sacrificing too much in other aspects.- GamBino

What's the best IEM for under $100?
For your slightly bass heavier needs I would actually say either Brainwavz M3 or SE215, the RE0 might not to be your type of IEM.- GamBino

Etymotics mc5
I'd advise you to stay away from the MC5 not for the build quality (it's one of it's bests actually), but for the music signature you're probably looking for. I have a similar taste in music as you, and I find the bass in MC5's to be very lacking and in all honesty the clarity that is famous in...- GamBino

Please help! Monster Trubine vs other IEMs ~$100 in terms of bass
Woops my apologies I don't know what I was thinking there, yeah Turbines are good, but don't get the Beats, they're definitely not worth it. There are quite a few knockoff Beats for like 1/5th the price that have essentially the same sound quality.- GamBino

Need help with purchasing new cheap IEMs
Yeah, PL50 would be probably my recommendation as well, simply one of the most comfortable IEMs out there, with pretty good sound quality, great bang for buck.- GamBino

Please help! Monster Trubine vs other IEMs ~$100 in terms of bass
Quote: Now that's a bit harsh on Beats. Even though they DO spend a lot of money on marketing, Refurbished Turbines are one of the best deals out there. At that price range, there aren't many better alternatives.- GamBino

*SoundMAGIC PL50 Review*
It's a good buy, but the only reason I don't have a pair of them yet is I like much more fun-sounding earphones with a strong low end (I listen mostly to Hip hop/electronic). Glad to see that you like it though, SoundMagic does make very nice earphones, and to me, some of the most comfortable...- GamBino

Purchased Etymotic HF2's but worried ... Help?
I'm using their MC5's right now, and even though I really dislike the Ety sound signature (I'm pretty much a basshead), I can't fault them for their build quality. I've been using these MC5's for a while (only for the isolation) and they've been holding up well and I've had no problems with them...- GamBino

Ety ER-4P IEM comfort..?
Yeah, I think your main concern shouldn't be comfort, but the music quality..... Etymotics are notorious for lacking in the bass department, so it might not be the best choice for your music tastes. I'd think that the Shure 215 would be better than the HF5 because the HF5 still shares the...- GamBino

[REVIEW] Edited Shure SE215 IEM REVIEW
Looking forward to hearing the reviews, especially on how it compares to the Etys. Do the Etys still hold the crown for isolation or is Shure getting close to taking it? That's one of my biggest questions.- GamBino

Searching for Gym IEMs for <$50
I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of isolation for comfort, since I'll be wearing these 'phones for at least 90 mins every time I go to the gym. Thanks for the input though!- GamBino

Comfortable in-ear headphones: giving and looking for advices
Quote: +1 to this, I can attest that the PL50 is one of the most comfortable earphones I've ever worn. They're very lightweight and it's really easy to forget about them once they're in your ear. Etys are decent for comfort, but I'd still recommend the PL50. Or if you'd wait, SoundMagic...- GamBino

Searching for Gym IEMs for <$50

Searching for Gym IEMs for <$50
Actually I talked to one of the sales reps of SoundMagic (I live in China), and the E30 is set to be officially released near the end of the month (so I'd say about 2-3 weeks time). The retail price should be around $35 (it will be priced at 230 RMB in China). I think I'll wait it out for...- GamBino

Best isolation?
Quote: I've heard that the Shure 215's have very nice isolation, and they also fit inside your ear and don't stick out, so you can probably sleep comfortably on those, you might want to check it out.- GamBino

Searching for Gym IEMs for <$50
Man all this sounds really tempting..... ClieOS did SoundMagic provide you with a MSRP? I noticed that they've given one for the P30, and I'm just curious to see what the price for these would be (I know it's gonna fall in the sub $50 range). Think I'm gonna go with the E30's, looking...- GamBino
