Hello guys! I need some advice on buying a headphone for workouts up to U$50,00 (including international shipping) and my main options are all Asian brands so please, could you help me?
 
I have a Soudmagic 
EH11 that i use for my daily run but they have some flaws that are really annoying me:
 
- the sound is really disappointing, congested and muddy;
- i keep loosing the seal so i always have to adjust it while running and that happens a lot.
 
For reference, at home, I have a Denon D2000 for use with my computer, a Ortofon e-Q5 that i use for travel and a GR07 that i bought before the EH11 that i give to my wife because no matter what i did i couldn't get a seal on my left ear.
 
After a lot of research, i narrowed my options to:
 
Xiamoi Piston 2 - U$ 29,90 - Seems to have the best build quality of them but some comments said that they are heavy and fall very easy from your ear;
TTPOD T1E - U$ 49,90 - read a lot of good things about the sound but nothing about build quality; 
Zero Audio Carbo Tenore - U$ 49,90 - Read a lot of QC issues so that's probably my last option;
Koss KSC75 - U$ 25,00 - this is not an asian brand but the porta pro where my first quality headphones and i like them also they don't need a seal to sound good.
 
Suggestions are welcome. 
 
What do you think?

Thanks!

The cables on the kz phones are well build and think the kzes in particular sounds better than the pistons. I never had any problems with the pistons falling out of my ears but use the Sony hybrid tips. The housing on both is about the same and they are both big as they stick out a bit of my ears but it's not bad. I'm debating to jump on the ttpod too. you should check out the kz edse and es

I'd recommend the ATH-CKP500, great sound, excellent fitting system and water resistant. Best thing is you should be able to find it for about $30 shipped on eBay.

You should check them out.

Edit: I've got all of the IEM's you list as alternative and for work out I prefer the A-T to all of them.

Edit 2: Damn phone :wink:

That's a good suggestion.

I am going to sound like a broken record right now, but the soundmagic e30 would be my pick. They are such a great ergonomic fit and sound really good for their price.

very interesting:D


I was actually recommended them by @SyedZ2ez4 myself and he was very happy with them which convinced me to give them a try and I'm glad I did.

I've used taobaofocus.com with success for this very reason... PayPal
Does anybody know a taobao agent with paypal as payment method?

+1 :)

Feather light weight and great for low volume listening too. After buying this one it has been impossible for me getting another iem because even if I enjoyed many, almost none could compete on the comfort level (except for retired phonaks and yes ... PL50)

But that was until I tried GR07 !

E30 is still my commute iem today, even if its cable plastic has been completely torn apart.
I just keep wishing for a durable metal version of E30... :frowning2:
