Guess I'm going for the JVC then, found them at a nice price on Amazon with free shipment, thanks again for the help.
Sounds like the SE215, especially for those genres. Comfort is great on them, people usually get alienated by the over-ear style, but personally can not stand having to wear stuff straight down instead. Isolation with the Olives is quite impressive. Mid-bass bump, so that kick and impact is present, yes. Mids are forward, fantastic, and slightly aggressive in presentation, so great for rock and metal.
Hey head-fier's!
It's been awhile since I got my Monster Turbine Pros. The warranty is about to expire so with that in mind I was looking to upgrade, but being a greenhorn, I'm a bit perplexed. I have done quite a bit of research and have come up with a few candidates. I would greatly appreciate it if someone knowledgeable would tell me how they stack up to my Turbines. My budget is in the ballpark of $100-$150. If my choices in IEMs are atrocious feel free suggest your picks.
IEM's that caught my eye:
JVC HA-FXD80 - I absolutely love the look, but don't really know how they stack up sound wise.
Atrio MG7 - The price is almost too good to pass up, but not impressed by the presentation. As shallow as that sounds I would like to have a cool looking pair.
Shure SE215 - I did some reading and people seem to think the SE215 are a few steps ahead of my current Turbines.
Things I'm looking for:
-Bass
-Clarity
-Isolation
-Looks
I'd love to hear what you guys have to say thanks in advanced.
Hi guys,
I'll start off by saying that this site is amazing... I've learned a ton over the last 48 hours and enjoyed looking through all the reviews... but there are so many choices it can be hard to figure out what I'm even looking for. I'm currently using some ridiculously cheap $10-15 Sony headphones, and they're not cutting it when it comes to bass and overall fullness.
I plan on using these headphones exclusively at work, in my cube, attached to my laptop. Not a lot of movement but a lot of in/out every day as I run to meetings. Currently, I usually listen at a low volume (for background noise really) so that I can hear when someone stops by and knocks on my cube wall, but occasionally I turn it up to drown out nearby sounds and just focus on work. Not sure if there’s any that have easily adjustable isolation, but that would be ideal. Comfort is important since I typically wear them for at least a couple hours every day, sometimes for hours at a time.
Most my music is rock (think silversun pickups, muse, imagine dragons, linkin park, etc.) and vocal dance/trance, with occasional R&B or top 40. I’m looking at the sub-$100 range, and noticed seemingly good deals on amazon lately like the Klipsch X10 for $85, but I don't know enough yet to know what I'm really looking for.
Thanks!

hey guys,
Looking for a new pair of in ear monitors, my triple fi 10s have become faulty and logitech wont replace them with ue900, just a refund..the refund price does not cover the price of the ue900s though!
since there are no longer any ultimate ears offerings in the £250 bracket, what should I be looking for? I want something more comfortable than the TF10s that seal more easily, perhaps that could be used for sport too.
From the massive thread comparing all types of IEMs, the ClearTune CT-200 seem to get an excellent review, but will they sound too flat coming from the TF10?
For reference, my desktop headphones are Beyer Dynamic DT770, which I love the sound signature of. I like deep bass but not boomy, and love slightly warm but natural acoustics etc.

or perhaps

I need to check if shipping would cause them to be way over budget though
Hey, guys!
I'm new to the audio world and I need your advise. I've been wearing my Apple EarBuds for quite some time, but they finally broke not so long ago. Having about $100-140 in my budget I decided to buy a decent pair of cans, but after hours of looking I still haven't found the right ones,
I'd want a pair of headphones that are
-portable
-have decent isolation, since I'll be using them in a lot of different places, library, school, on a bus, etc.
-not terribly uncomfortable, I'll be wearing them for 2+ hours
-don't need an amp.
I've looked into some, including ATH M50's, but I've heard that they aren't really portable. Is that really so?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Hello fellow forum members! Looking to place an order for the Meelec Sport-Fi S6 now that it is going for $18. Been searching for a pair of IEM for running and my previous pair (MH1C) doesn't really serve that purpose well. Any people who have experience with using this set of headphones for this purpose? It seems like a great deal and hard to pass up. Thanks for any advice and wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!
