Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a pair of sub 100 IEM, the IEM I have right now its not very good ( steel series siberia ) for my listening and it feels uncomfortable!

The music I regularly listen to is Hip-Hop/ Rap/ R&B/ Rock
basically I am looking for the overall better pair!!

thanks guys!

I am located in Canada and most likely will order online,

I can find the s4's for about 100 and the cks70 for about 80!

other IEMs in this price range are recommended too but this will be for daily school and home use so it must be able to withstand some wear and tear, but I do treat them well.

I was about to post this Q! I too, am undecided between the two. Which one is better for metal? Experts pls advise. Thanks!

Same problem here

But im more a rock/industrial/ebm (sometimes chiptune music too

) sorta guy..

And another question: which of these do NOT block out 100% of the noise around you.. i'd like to hear at least something since i'm walking through the city most of the time

*bump* anyone? help a guy out to loose his craptastic iBuds ;D

Actually none block %100 noise and S4 is clear, detailed, warm and little bassy. The S70 has huge soundstage bigger than IE8 with great bass impact same as IE8 and even goes deeper and reveb. So S70 is for who looking for rich deep bass and big soundstage, mids and highs are clear.

That sounds great, thanks for the help

Only thing that keeps me from buying the s70 is the issue with the wind DTKZ mentioned and that no one mentioned anything about how comfortable they fit into the ear. Do you have any thoughts on that as well?

The CKS70s are very comfortable.... I wear them for long listening sessions sometimes three to four hours at a time and I find them very comfortable to the point that I sometimes forget that they are in my ears. (Please be aware that I am using the Sony Hybrid tips, but initially when I first got them I did try on the original tips and they are just as comfy as the Sony tips) Hope this helps your buying decision.

Yeah it does, sold, thanks

The s4's have good, accurate base right? Can the bass on these compete with the monster turbines? and the micro phonics on the s4 are good right?

 

[iPoodz]

I can't compare them to the turbines, but they have very nice, full bass. The microphonics are almost non-existant, something I immediately noticed.

 

[ucrags84]

Yah, I haven't heard the Turbines either, but the oval shaped tips on these seems to really help the fit. That helped me quickly appreciate the rich bass, and silky mids.

Outside using comply tips, I would say these oval tips are one of the few positive experiences i've had with IEM earpieces and keeping a nice seal even with the right sizes.

Still getting some sibilance after 20 hours of burn in, will continue cooking these to iron em out.
