Has anyone compared the EH11 with the E30? They sound similar? Found the E30 here for $30 shipped:

I had the Meelec but it just falls apart after 4 months so for me it's a no. Also the last time i checked their site they were not shipping to my country.
 
Thanks again!

Yes ..they are small ..great fit .....more than decent sound ..very balanced sound sig ...cheers

 




+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...

 

Wow! That would be interesting.

I wonder if they've been updating there IEM's? .....Got to go and check their homepage.

The Fidue a31s might be a good option. They are about $30, VERY small, easy to seal, and sound good to boot. Also come with ear guides. The included tips are sketchy though. Only the preinstalled double flange fit. The rest are obscenely tiny....

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.

The recension on Amazon Germany are a bit discouraging http://www.amazon.de/Technica-ATH-CKP500BK-In-Ear-Kopfh%C3%B6rer-Klinkenstecker-schwarz/product-reviews/B00BBDKTJC/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1
 
 
Basically people are speaking of very harsh treble and lack of bass in their reviews with good fit. Does the German model sound different maybe?

With the right tips, the Penon IEMs are pretty nice (regardless of being only $10). Way lighter than I was expecting too.

They really seem a nice little IEM! Their website puts them as good for sports.

I can't stand to ear piercing highs and sibilance. I had a klipsch S4 that i give to my dad because of the same problem. Oh my what a difficult decision! lol

I've got no idea if the German version are different.

I did read the same reviews before buyibg them but decided to take the plunge anyway. They're not your typical bass heavy signature but rather balanced with controlled punchy bass. If you familiar with the Audio-Technica house sound you'll have an idea about what I mean.

If you're looking for bass heavy the KZ edse would be my suggestion. Build like a tank and very nice sounding, although a bit to bassy for me.

Oh yeah, I had the Klipsch S4 too and they were quite bad for me.
 
I think you will like Soundmagic. I had the e10, which I was very content with for a long time. They are very smooth, treble really relaxed, but they lack accuracy and the Bass can be uncontrolled although not overbearing. I don't know if the e30 sound the same or similar though.

On the E30 boat along with Wokei, the E30 with sony hybrid tips have become one of my beater pairs of headphones and switched off between them and the Pistons when I go to the gym/go for a jog. The E30 is meant for over the ear which is quite great to reduce cable noise as the Pistons cable being fabric is tad noisy and so I wear them over ear as well. The 3 button android remote on the Pistons is really my favorite thing when working out though.

How are the tips on the E10? All the tips on the E30 were rubbish and failed to get a seal for me and I thought the E30 was bass anemic for the longest time. But with the right tips I found that the E30 had quite nice bass especially in the sub bass.

Ehm I changed the tips to the ue200 ones, which gave me quite an improvement. After I lost them I bought http://www.amazon.de/Xcessor-Hochwertige-Ohrpolster-Ohrst%C3%B6psel-Markenkopfh%C3%B6rern-schwarz/dp/B006XGJ8BW/ref=sr_1_5?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1412281070&sr=1-5&keywords=ohrst%C3%B6psel, which are still better than the stock ones, but worse than my old ue200 tips for me.
 
But the amount of tips,which they came with was huge I recall. Weird that none could get me a good seal.

+1 E30 with sony hybrids

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

 
ATH-IM50!!! They will pump you up!!!

Double flange one requires a deep insertion.  I couldn't fit them in, my ear canal's are not deep.  Actually, used my Westone star tips for testing.  Regarding the sound, it's a pure L-shape sound with no upper mids/treble clarity   Great bass, tiny design, excellent seal if your ear canal can handle deep insertion, but sound signature is fun and bass oriented.
