Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a pair of budget (under <$100) IEMs. I have tried the Hifiman RE-400's, several VSonic IEM's, Klipsch, Dunu Trident, Monoprice and several others. The problem is, while they all sounded great (except maybe the Klipsch) they all ran into serious physical issues...

Hey everyone, I'm in search of a pair of bookshelf speakers (for primarily vinyl listening) that will double as studio monitors for recording/mixing music. I currently have a pair of Wharfedale Evo2-8's, but while they sound great I don't think they're neutral enough to do the trick.   My...

Bump, any other opinions?

At the moment, I'm not sure whether to get a headphone amp or not. My budget is around $100 for the full setup, so if I forgo the amp, I can purchase a better pair of headphones than I'd be able to otherwise and postpone getting the amp a few months or a year down the line.   I'm currently...

About a year ago, I was listening to my music with the Apple stock earbuds, which I replaced with a pair of Klipsch Image s3's. The bass on the Klipsch was excellent, but the mids/highs were lacking. A few months later, my Klipsch broke, so I used cheap Sony earphones for a couple weeks while I...

i'm in search of sub-65$ IEMs for listening from my laptop and iPhone. - Most of my music is in MP3 (though some is in FLAC), and all of it is from the past 15 years. - I listen to mostly (70%) punk and pop-punk, but also a few indie rock, acoustic, folk rock, lo-fi, alternative, and hardcore...

anyone?

Which of these three are: a) best suited for guitar driven faster music (such as punk and pop punk) b) forgiving of poorer sources such as MP3? c) best suited for busy rock tracks? d) best suited for acoustic music?   thanks!

Oh, and I'm well aware these aren't even close to ALL the IEM's in my price range. They're just the ones that seemed to get a lot of praise. 50 bucks isn't really pocket change for me atm so I feel more comfortable going for the "well-hyped" ones.

i I'm looking for a sub-$50 set of IEMS (worn cable straight down). I listen to mostly (60%) pop-punk and melodic punk bands, but I also listen to a couple hardcore, folk rock, alternative/indie, acoustic (with violin) and lo-fi bands. Some of it is "rough around the edges" and some of it is...

I had a pair of Klipsch Image S3's and the cable broke (can't hear much now) so I'm not open to buying another pair of Klipsch.   95% of my music is from the last 10 years, some of it is in lossless but the majority is in MP3. I plan on listening from my laptop and my iPod.   I listen to...

My budget is $60, but I can go a little over (70 is pushing it).   Some earphones I'm looking at right now are Klipsch Image series, Etymotic, Headdirect, Sennheiser CX series, etc.   I listen to mostly pop-punk (New Found Glory, Alkaline Trio, Lagwagon), ska punk, and newer punk rock...
