Hello,
Just joined the forums as everytime i have had a query on audio i always seem to end up back on this site so thought i'd join you guys and see if i can get some help from your expertise/experience.
I've not really been into IEMs as i've always found the quality was awful (admittidly it was just with the freebies i get with the MP3 players/Phones) but with my new phone i got a punch to the gut on that theory.
I bought the Dell Streak (some love it some hate it but it suits me) and it came with these nice IEMs with an inline mic, the mic was crystal clear and there was barely any background noise for the person listening to me and the headphones sat snuggly into the ear canal and didn't keep working loose and as such losing the quality (like so many do)....i've since found out how important the fit is after reading many articles on here so a big thanks to that wake up call guys.
Then comes the sound quality, i was amazed that freebie headphones had a precise bass that was clear but very powerful, i do like bass because of the type of music i listen to but i don't want it to take over and just drill into your head so you can't hear any of the mid or hi's.
I was so impressed with these they have changed my way of looking at the IEMs and making them my preference for the walk up the shops (rather than looking like a cyberman with rather large headphones).
Unfortunately during a very bad week for myself where a lot of my electronic equipment all failed at the same time (damned xbox) i think caught one of the phones under the coaster on my chair at work, when i rolled the chair back and saw it had ripped the headphones i was gutted.
After looking into replacement's i've then found that there are a few floating around in the budget area (not the richest bloke i'm afraid).
Here's my shortlist so far:
[size=10pt]v-moda vibe duo
skullcandy fmj 2009 or 2010
soundmagic pl50
nu-force 7 or 8
dell streak headphones (can't find the specs or who actually makes them for dell)[/size]
[size=10pt]Anyone got any recommendations or even alternatives?[/size]
[size=10pt]If it helps here's a few example tracks that i used to test the dell streak headphones when i got them.[/size]
[size=10pt]She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart[/size]
[size=10pt]Killswitch Engage - End of heartache[/size]
[size=10pt]Tracey Chapman - Another sun[/size]
[size=10pt]Sorry it's such a long post but i thought i'd put in as much info as possible about my dilema.[/size]
[size=10pt]Thanks for reading[/size]
