Well, I want a pair of IEMs that are decent and will work well with my 160gb iPod. The upper end price I am looking at is the Phonak PFEs. Others are the DD earbuDDs. Anyway, all suggestions will be looked at and links to reviews and stuff are greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I will list the models that are on my radar as of now. The Shure SE 115, the Sennheiser CX-400II, the Phonak Audeo PFE, Monster Turbines, Digital Designs earbuDDs, Bose in ears and the Etymotic hf5. Those are what I am looking at, but I am leaning heavily towards the Phonaks, Monsters or Etymotics. Any help is definitely appreciated.

<$150? Maybe you should take a look at the UE11's

< means less than.

Anyways, what kind of music will you be listening to primarily? Do you need good isolation? Have you heard other earphones before? What did/didn't you like about them?

 

[bose301s]

Haha, I did mean less that $150. I am not going to spend huge amount just for walking to and from work everyday listening to an iPod.

Turbines? Got mine for $149.99.

if bass is important, you can get the turbines for $100 at macmall

if you're more into clarity/detail, get the pfe

Yes, I am an SQ nut. Have a pretty decent home system, some B&W 603s and a pretty nice car system too, so SQ is more important than bass.

i'd go for the PFE's then, u wont be disappointed their SQ

it also responds very well to amping so if you have an amp, that's even better.. if not, it'll still sound great out of your ipod - just wont be at full potential w/o an amp

In fact I just ordered a pair of PFEs. I was close to ordering them already and the recommendations pushed it over for me.

Well, I didn't know that code, ****. I wonder if they will let me apply it after the fact or cancel and reorder using the code.
