Hi everyone,

First I'd like to say hello to all of you, this is my first thread and it is already nice to be here.

My question is about some IEMs that are available in my immediate region.

Here are the contenders;

- Sennheiser CX 550 or CX 95
- AKG K 324p
- ULTIMATE EARS SUPER FI-3
- Creative EP-630
- Anything in similar price range

I generally listen to Metal and Classical so detail and clearity is a must. I'm not a bass head but of course I don't want to miss the warm and smooth kicks.

Any suggestions ?

Anyone there ?

Those aren't good choices... the better options are either the ADDIEM or NE-7M. Or if you can stretch your budget to $100, the RE0 is an obvious choice.

Thanks for the posts guys, but I don't think I can get nuforce or head-direct at the moment. I think I can find apple dual drivers. Are you absolutely sure that they would sound better than akg 324 and senn. cx 95 on my cowon d2+ ? Or would that make the difference only on ipod ?

I owned the CX95 and didn't like them at all, because they sounded harsh to me, not balanced. Others like them, though. The ADDIEMS, which are $30 from certain sellers on ebay (they say used, but they are basically new), are clean, clear detailed phones with enough bass, but may require an alternate tips (I use the Sony hybrids or Comply T130 foamies). Can't speak for the AKG. And Don't have a D2. PM me if you want info for the ADDIEMs on ebay.

super.fi 3 should be o.k. but the new Ultimate ears customer service is getting hideous reports. my UE's (3 pairs) have had no problem, so I've not needed to call UE for anything.

Seems ADDIEMs are all out of stock around here

Anyone who would recommend CX 550 over akg 324p (most people say this akg has a better sound than CX 500)

I'd say the UE SF3s if you like classical. Can't comment on metal, but I think the brightness is an asset for classical.
