Hi all!
Now, at the moment i'm having a real struggle to decide weather i'm going down the 'amazing sound for little money' route or go down the premium route with the either the ie8's or Klipsch image X10's
Now let's say theoretically i do go down the budget route (which i'm swaying towards), i'm very confused between these three earphones:
- Phonak Audeo Perfect Bass 012/022
- Klipsch Image S4
- Shure SE215
After alot of forum reading, i initially decided that the Phonak Audeo Perfect Bass 012/022 was the best of the three (great clarity, good bass, good soundstage for in ears) . But today, i went on the cnet website and coincidently they did a 'Best earbuds under $100' and the Klipsch Image S4 got 4.5 /5 stars whereas the Phonaks only got 3.5 stars, but from what i read elsewhere the Phonaks were much better than the S4, some people even said they beat the X10's (theres even a Phonak vs IE8 thread). As i'll use them with my phone sometimes, I discounted the Shure because of no mic option (sound comes first but i couldn't decide between them so was deciding factor) But their still there haunting my mind.
I'm going to use these just as much for Movies as i am for Music, and as for music genres: no rap, metal or crazy people shouting pretty much sums it up
So, what do you guys think?
