That's the deal on amazon...
I like my Denon C551's, but something that isolates THIS well for 50$, should I shoot for them? How well would they work for my Clip and D2, and through my Fiio?

are these the best IEMS around 50 bucks in terms of SQ for jazz/classical?

 

[krmathis]

Yeah, and several other Black Friday deals...

As mentioned here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/b...-deals-385413/

For just $50, why not? You can always recover the money if they are not for you.

Your always going to get disagreements to what is considered the best depending on the tastes of the individual. However, I would say the majority here, based on the posts I've read, would say yes to your question. I don't think you could go wrong with a pair. Their clarity in this price range is one of the better ones based on the armature design. I also own a pair, it is one of my favorites in comfort (w/Shure olives) and general listening.

They were my favorite until they broke.

I'm getting some new IEMs soon. The Marshmallows have been good for a $5 set of headphones, but I need something more substantial.

 

[Waveblade]

Yeah I just hit the button of those.


I'm glad that you can return them until January 31, 2009

Makes the buy much more "safe" if I don't end up liking it

 

[Baba booey]

the fact that they aren't durable does kinda throw me off...the cord does look very flimsy/thin...
I'd like to go for removable cables, but the cheapest ones you can get for the are the SF3's, which are lacking in isolation

*disregard...firefox was messing up*

YMMV, but in my experience, the 6is are durable enough that I've had no problems in many months of use.

For added comfort, I've been using the Klipsch gel eartips.

As for that $50 shipped price, that's a no-brainer. Enjoy!

 

[Baba booey]

just wondering, what's up with the filters? it says they have to be changed? what are filters anyways? is that the thing the covers the speaker tube?

 

[Sean.Perrin]

It makes me so mad that Etymotic does not let Amazon ship to Canada. I want a pair of HF2s, but that's IMPOSSIBLE to find up here as nobody carries Ety!

 

[The Other Allen]

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered a pair just now...

 

[jonathanjong]

Woot! Team ER-6i! I paid $75 for mine one day earlier. Ah well, cest la vie.

 

[LeonWho]

Yeah. Amazing for this price.

 

[Jackalope]

yep, I just ordered mine. Even if I don't like em, I can always sell them for what I paid.
