Hi guys

I need some recommendations for my galaxy S2 after my old pair of cx271 gave up the ghost this week. Now I know the S2 isn't the greatest DAP out there and it requires some careful matching to sound decent (although Poweramp helps), not least because of its high output impedance.

I'm thinking of getting the brainwavz m2 but I'm also thinking of the soundmagic pl50, because of their higher impedance.

Anyone out there with either of those combinations or any other recommendations?

Cheers,

Chris.

I think the HSA BA100 will be a better choice. It's $99 but has a 50% discount now:

Thanks guys but I can find plenty of reviews on these IEMs. I'm more interested in their combination with a Galaxy S2 specifically, due to the impedance issues I mention.

I don't think the 'high' impedance of the S2 is a problem.
