I've just watched hawaiibadboy helpful video. I'll just get that viablue cable cover. Hmm would small, medium or large be suitable

Can anyone recommend good durable iems under 50$ that you can get from amazon? I've already destroyed 2 Rock Zircons this year despite trying to keep my 2nd one in a micro-pelican case when I could, so I would like something more durable. I liked the sound of the zircons and dont use a dac or amp.

My favorite budget IEMs are pretty durable, the Sony MDR-XB50AP. I've had mine for a good long time. They are $30 bucks, come in 3 colors and sound good for the price.

Thanks. Apologies for asking so many questions. I suffer from OCD and am very meticulous in my purchases.

How do you guys navigate through the japanese sites for purchasing? Even with google translate, I'm having difficulties navigating and figuring which store ships ex800st to AU. :-s

Maybe they do not ship overseas? I thought some members outside Japan had used them (I am in Japan right now)

 

[amader7]

Yup, i think they are japan only. Such a shame. The price looked so good.. better than the ebay ones.. Sigh.

What makes this better than other iems in the same price range in your opinion? The reviews I found said that the mids and treble weren't that good.

They aren't going to give you the same mids and highs as a $100+, but they bring a warm v shaped sound with decent mids and highs. Worth the cost of $30 for sure. However, if a flatter more neutral sound is what you're aiming for then these might not be for you.

Ok, wasn't sure what iems those reviews were comparing it to.
