Hi
As the title suggests I'm looking for a decent pair of IEMs for under £50. I know there are many other posts similar, but a lot of them are so old the IEMs suggested are no longer in production such as the Nuforce NE-700m , victor 700x or the UE super.fi 3 i cant seem to find in the uk.
I only listen to trance(vocal, progressive,tech,uplifting,euphoric), so how they handle other genres of music wouldnt matter to me at all. Comfort is important to me, but im willing to sacrifice a bit for SQ.
Currently from reading through dozens of posts on the topic, I am down to MEElectronics M6, Brainwavz M2 and i am open to any other suggestions?
also how much better would the Denon AH-C710 or the Silver Bullet? are the denons worth the extra £30?

Thanks in advance

Are there any differences between the m4 and m5?? What are they?

I wouldn't recommend Meelec M6... right now you can do much netter than the melec m6... IAudio Technica ckm 500 should be good:

a bit pricier, but much, much better than any meelec I've heard (including M6)...

any of these are better than M6 I ca guarantee that also, they are fun sounding, bassy iems, excellent for the genres you listen to...

hmmm I don't really know... I have the XB90EX and it is wonderful with that genre, but I don't know exactly how the cks77 sounds... maybe someone who has both (Dsnuts for example) will chime in with comparison... or you could just pm him and ask... he also has the JVC fx3x - another great candidate for trance and edm and surely will give good advice...

ok thanks. i just sent him a pm, well see what he says. I really like the design of the XB90EX and the CKS77, so unless theres some other models ive missed out in my research, ill probably go with one of those.
