Kind of glad that the wire on the left shorted inside the jacket. I did enjoy them as they do have good Bass, fit well and could wear them all day.
Though now I'm going to have to replace them with something < $50 shipped. I really was looking at the $30 originally, but after looking I see one pair that seems to stand out the NuForce NE-6 (don't need the mic on the NE-7M).
These will be used unamped on my laptop when I am studying at school, so don't need total isolation, but some as it can get a bit noisy sometimes. Also tend to listen to some internet streams, so not always the best quality is used, also can be hard to find some mixes I really like in a better encoding. Kind of what sucks about electronica, some of the best mixes are small time DJ's doing a remix of a big time DJ. But if they show these weaknesses I think I will just have to deal with finding better quality files.
Also bass is very important as I listen to pretty much just electronica (euro pop, hard house, techno, hhc). Though mids/highs are certainly important to and was severely lacking on the Bose IEM.
So for my purposes is there another stand out besides the NuForce NE-6 in the $30 - $50 shipped range. I may in the future save up for something better, but I need something now that can hold me over as i use them pretty much daily while studying.
I should probably mention I'm a bit sensitive to treble. Even with the Bose in Windows media I player I turn down the 8Khz, but do boost the 16Khz some, along with the 4Khz, the 8Khz seems to be the frequency that hurts my ears. I was reading and it says the NE-7M/6 can be a bit harsh, can this be fixed with some equalizing?
