  So I'm in the search of IEMs.
 
I have it narrowed down to these several IEMs but would like recommendations/advice!
 
Budget: Under 150.
Setup: Portable. No DAC/amp.
Sound: I have a pair of DT 880 250 Ohms that I love. I definitely love bass, but wouldn't say I'm a bass head really. I listen to a lot of hip-hop/rap, electronic, indie rock.
 
These are the ones I've been looking into

VSonic GR07 || ~100 USD ebay
VSonic GR07BE || ~130 USD ebay
VSonic VSD5 || ~70 USD ebay + Klipsch Oval tips ~11 USD Amazon which I heard was a great combo
Hifiman RE-400 || ~80 USD amazon

I also have my rare Vivo XE800 for sale. It uses the GR07 driver, and it would be half the price.

If you love bass, and with those genres in mind, I vote the Duoza. Great iems!

Titan is supposed to be great too I hear. But if you are quite treble sensitive then I wouldn't go with a vsonic or possibly the Titan as well(but more so talking about vsonic).

Aren't DT880 and A151 pretty different? Just curious But yeah, Duoza...

Duoza vs titan...
I forget which has more bass?

@waynes world, @twister6, what do you think? Does the Duoza have a bit a more-more with the Titan not being short on bass either? That'd be my guess, but I have not heard the Titan 1...

Finally got around to re-cabling my M1's. Used the cable from one of my spare J+- Wooden Buds that I canibalized for experiments 

. Bassier than I remember...kinda boomy but not bad. Treble is a little uneven, but overall solid. Spacious soundstage was a nice surprise. The re-cabling job isn't pretty, but it works!
 

 
I'm very curious to know if these sound the same as the Soundsoul iems that use the same housing.

Ps. The jack shown is actually from the JVC HA-FX40. I've got a slew of iems lying just outside of the top of the image...the J+- jack looks nearly identical though.

Anyone heard of this phone (Ray Audio RA01)? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.37sZqP&id=43957901582&ns=1&abbucket=12#detail

Seems to be a nice dual dynamic phone with replaceable cable.

Damn they look good!! Especially with those copper wires. My T1-Es just broke so I'm probably getting a replacement and then selling them off. These look like a nice next-in-line.

Without any user opinion?

 

[sodesuka]

There are user's opinion but they're in Chinese. Was hoping someone here got first hand experience on them.

Awei Q9 wooden earphones.
 
Takes some time to accept their sound, but after giving my first pair away (channel imbalance, a bit) this pair sounds really good with Mozarts Great Mass. Good soundstage, neutral and laidback sound with enhanced bass.
 
Still might give those away too for getting some KZ (ED3??). So here's my question for a bigger audience.
 
Which IEM is somewhat neutral at $7-8? Own Havi but I baby them too much to take them to the train etc. Live in EU, already have MP8320 and some others, but looking for MP8320/Havi sound for CHEAP with good isolation.
 
EISEN recommended KZ ED3 but he was not sure.

 

[B9Scrambler]

KZ ANV is pretty neutral, but usually runs closer to $10. Still a worthy buy at that price IMO.
