Hi guys. I thought I had settled on the very decent Atrios m5, but looking around the forum and at various prices of earphones, I don't know if they really are the best value for money or the best full stop.
The earphones I'm considering are:
Sleek SA6 - $199
Future Sonics Atrios - $180ish (shipping inc)
Head Direct RE0 - $99 + shipping (fantastic deal IMO)
JVC FX500 - $129 + 9
I'm just not sure if the SA6 is a full 100 dollars better than the RE0. Should I even consider the Atrios since the better SA6 is only $20 dollars more? I do want the best sound quality but not if it entails spending on something beyond sensible value-for-money. They all seem to be well-balanced earphones with pretty decent lows, mids and highs.
I'm also not sure about the really bassy atrios. My CX300s are pretty overwhelming and messy un-EQ'd.
I'll be popping over to the Jaben store tomorrow to try earphones. I believe they only have the Atrios. Is there anything I should look out for to help me choose the right earphone better (even if not from Jaben)?
Thanks a lot
