Hello guys!
 
I have a new MP3-player, Cowon D2+ and want a good IEM now. When I´m looking around and trying to get good recommendations I´m just looking around in a jungle full of options.
 
I have been recommended three items that looks great but need a final choice and maybe you can help me with that?
 
The three items I have been recommended now is:
  1. Triple-fi 10
  2. Fischer Audio DBA 02 
  3. Head-Direct RE0
 
The price is quite big different what I can see. Maybe someone is much more priceworth?
 
I´m listening to alot of different genres but mostly I listening to electronic music. Therefore I think I need one with a real good bass.
 
Do you recommend someone of those or is there another better IEM which is priceworth?
 
Which one do you recommend for me?
 
(I know that my English is not that good but I hope you will understand)

TF10 has amazing bass with excellent texture, impact and speed of all BA phones I have heard. RE0s are more analytical and thin sounding with low bass impact. DBA02s are somewhere in between TF10s and RE0s in that regard. Therefore for electronic music I would lean more towards TF10s, which also has the widest soundstage of the 3, which is important for electronic music.

TF10 $183.50

Radius DDM $139.99

Shure SE425 $293.00

The review from more then one site says that Radius DDM is a very good price for the sound quality. RE0 is quite big differents from the other ones, compare to the price but don´t have the bass I think I want.
 
But I think it´s between TF10 and Radius DDM. Compare to the price, which one is the best choice?
 
Do you know if any of them, amazon or accessoryjack, have guarantee and if It´s possible to use the guarantee if the item breaks or something?
 
I haven´t bought anything like this from other country then Sweden. :)

There are some great phones in the sub-$200 range, but the fact that the TF10s are hovering in that range is like bringing in a ringer. They're just head and shoulders above most anything else in the price range. Certainly better than the SE425s at over $100 less expensive. 
 
The way I see it is this: If you want stronger bass, go with the TF10s. If you want analytical go with some Ety HF5s.

Based on your desires, I'd go for the Triple.Fi 10s. In my experience, they're great for electronic music.

Are you sure that Amazon will ship those TF10 to Sweden? They won't ship them to Denmark.
I'm also looking for at good deal on the TF10, but it seems almost impossible in Europe...

 if you are looking for Radius DDM with warranty support I advice to contact Dimitri from MusicaAcoustics.
 
His price is higher then Accessoriesjack in China but  Dimitri's is well know here on Headfi and the premium is worthwhile in case you need them replaced in case of failure..
Radius DDM are still among my favorite Dynamic IEMs in sub $200 category, specially for Bass-driven Electronic music.
Also new Radius w21 DDM  is coming in March but with higher Price tag...
