~99 - MS01 in this case. The Thinksounds are so organic and pleasant for rock and jazz, the X10s are no slouch when it comes to smoothness and richness, but the MS01 are just "purer" in a sense.
Actually you could compromise with the SE215 anyways, mids are pushed backwards a bit but still lush and rich and all that good stuff.
Luckily have heard that particular Philips. Can't hold a candle to the GR04. Mids just don't have the detail to back it up. So for ~40, GR04. Actually the R-20s at that price are REALLY smooth and pleasantly forward.
Hey, thanks for the advice.
I have narrowed down my research for an IEM/headphone to 6 options now.
I can't quite make a choice.
I nowadays have a Phillips SHE9000, and although it isn't a high-end IEM, I'm pretty pleased with it, but I'm seeking to improve my experience.
Actually, I'm kind of looking for a ''definitive'' headphone, one that is durable and I'd be happy with for a long time.
Again, I listen mostly to alternative rock, classic rock, hard rock and all other kinds of rock , jazz (I love it), classic (also important), electronic and some pop. I would prefer ''pure'' sounds.
The devices that I will be using the phones will be an iPod, Android device and mainly my computer.
Among these options, which would be the best for the money?
- Senheiser HD449 £69
- Phillips SHL5605BK/10 £50
- Thinksound MS01 £99 (ouch - way more expensive than the others, but is it really worth it?)
- VSONIC GR04 £40
- Klipsch Image X10 £99 (competing with the MS01 - which one?)
- Shure SE215 £75
(all amazon.co.uk prices)
Between these options, which one would you recommend? If possible, could say which of the £99 ones AND which of the cheaper ones?
Thank you very very much - I'm having a bad (and a great!) time choosing these phones.
