I have been able to get very decent sound /Amp using the Samsung HS3000 bluetooth adapter.

The Monster Copper are a great sounding IEM and I found them pretty well constructed, and very durable.

Philips Downtown is really good.

Quote: you are correct, the new version comes in a nice box with detachable cable.

Quote: if you can get them for less than retail (I got mine for $105.00 shipped)  then yes, they are great for Rock and Metal, just know that they do not isolate very well..

just $5.00 more and you get a great IEM   http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Turbine-High-Performance-In-Ear-Speakers/dp/B001LNO722/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337718894&sr=8-1

right now you can get the Monster Turbine for $75.00 @ Amazon,  pretty good sounding, pretty much the same sound as the Shure SE215 but better and clearer highs, the SE215 cable is like 12inch to long, the plug will not fit any device with a cover on it (to wide) and there's a learning curve to...

vpulse by Velodyne ($89.00) is the closest thing in sound to the Turbine, for $75.00? there's no better deal.  The VPulse does comes with mic and remote tho.

I had the XBA-1 good sound , clean and clear, but the bass was just not there at all, you really have to work hard on getting them into a sweet spot in order to get some bass... gonna try XBA-2 and see how it goes...

Just want to chime in, coming from the shure se215 I can say I'm enjoying  the vpulse a lot more, bass more clean and detailed, mids are about the same and highs are crispier and detailed. I was very happy with the shure se215, but I'm happier with the vpulse.

I just got my SE215 and all I can say is WOW,  I'm using the small Foam tips and the seal and comfort is perfect, who ever say there is no bass present should have come from some Beats by Dre or something similar, the bass is perfect in the 215, not too much not to little,  I tried the...

Quote:   tried those 2, did not like them, too much bass for my taste.,   I think I finally found what I was looking for, went to Fry's and got a pair of Shure SE215, perfect sound on a budget.   Thanks anyway.

Hi, I'm looking for IEM or Full-Size  with the same sound signature than the SC Aviators but better isolation, I love the sound on the Aviators, but the poor isolation is what keeps me away from them.  I tried the Philips Downtown/Uptowns, Klipsh Image 1, Sennheiser 429, Bose IE2, Klipsh S4...

I live in Texas and I they don't make my ears sweat at all, now the Uptown they do tend to get your ears pretty warm

Quote: if you judge them by how they sound on the SC display you will be definitely disappointed (I was), but then I found another display where they were all by them self and I was able to plug my phone and play some FLACs, then I had to have them.  After 2 days of break in they sound...

they are suuuper comfortable. Is like having pillows on your ears. And for the price they are the best looking/sounding phones availables. The only one that best them at the price point are the CALs but the difference is not that much plus they look great. Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2

Quote:   From what BestBuy has, the Aviators are the best option, I just tried some $300.00 souls and the Aviators are beat the c@#$ out of those

Quote:   Can you point me to the thread or link where the isolation mod is?   Thanks

Quote: Phillips Uptown, just $135.00 @ BB

Quote:   Dude that'll be just your preference, the Uptowns look way nicer than the Dre's

I tried both the Downtown and Uptown, Uptown is way better phone in construction and sound
