Hi,

Recently I bought a pair of ATH CKX9IS after a research of 3 months.

But I was disappointed with the performance of these phones.
My biggest complaint is that the sound channels are not balanced. Low frequencies are more prominent in left earphone. I have tried changing the source, swapping channels in PC and my phone. Also I have swapped earphone on my ears too. But same issue. Also the sound signature is not up to my liking. Mids are too much recessed.

Prior to this I already owned ATH IM50. So wanted similar phones with inbuilt mic control for my travelling.

I have searched on the internet also and found that audio Technica products known to have channel tracking problem. So now I am planning to return these and instead planning to buy from some other brand.

Now I am looking into momentum in ears or MDR EX750AP.

But momentums looks to be overpriced for their sound quality. And I am not sure of sony. Are they any good as compares to CKX9is?

Any other alternative same price range?

I really need your help guys .

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a specific sound signature you want and what is your budget? Also please be a little patient and do not bump your post before 24 hours. It is specifically stated in the posting guideline. If you need the information urgently pm me and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Thank you for the reply.

Apologies for going out of regulations.

Sound signature I am looking for is similar to ATH IM50s but with inline mic.

Budget is around $100.

Thanks

The closest I can think of is the Shure SE215. However that doesn't have an inline mic but you can purchase an inline mic cable from Shure themselves if you wish but that will set you back another $30. The momentum you mentioned earlier has a V-Shaped sound signature so it will sound quite different to the IM50. You can also try the Sony MH1C which has an inline mic but no removable cable. Hope this helps!

Thanks

I will try to demo MH1C if possible.

Do you have any idea about soundmagic E80s? Are they any good?
