Hey all,
My Sony MDR-EX71 just died. It's a great opportunity for me to get new ones. Since I use them 2 hours a day, I'm looking for high quality earphones based on my specific needs :
- cost : 80-150 euros (I'm mostly looking for the best quality price ratio)
- type : ear-ins, isolation is very important to me since I use them mostly in public transports (subway, bus, train, ...)
- music : rock, brit pop, punk, classic rock, pop (Muse, Placebo, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, Queen, Green Day, ...)
- I also want reliable and resistant earphones since I move when I use them, or a good guarantee / customer support to change them
- I'll use them with my iphone, so an additional mic would be a plus but I don't care if there's not one
- for information, my mp3s are all 320kbps
After my initial research, here's the ones I've noticed so far. However, I have questions and will really need your help to choose the best ones for me :
- Jays D-jays : enough lows for rock music ?
- Jays Q-jays : durability of such tiny earphones ?
- Etymotic ER-6i : design and technology outdated ?
- Schure SE110-210 : are low-end Schure models just based on marketing ?
- Phonak Audéo PFE : are they comfortable and solid ?
- Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 : is V-sound good for my needs ?
There are many others which I don't know much about, so your suggestions will also be very much appreciated (new Etymotic, Westone, Sleek, Philips 9850, ...)
Thanks for your help and advices
