Hi,

I'm going to buy a set of IEMs. I've brought my options back to these three, based upon information I found on the forum:

The JVC HA-FX300B

The audiotechnica CK7

And the sony EX85SL

They range from $60 to $100.
I don't have an opportunity to listen to them in advance, so I'll have to pick one based on reviews and opinions.

I'm going to use them to listen to music at work. They don't have to isolate outside sounds all that well. They do need to be comfortable, because I'll wear them for long periods.
I prefer a neutral sound, no heavy bass or emphasized treble.
They will be connected to a laptop or a MP3 player (I don't have one yet). But in time (few months), they will be connected to a portable amplifer, instead of directly to the source.

Any suggestions on which one is the best one, or which one offers the best value for money?

Thanks.

Based on the reviews and opinions on head-fi, it seems the CK7 would be your best bet.

Thanks. I was leaning towards the CK7s as well. I think I'll order them later today.
I'm looking for a shop that will ship them to the Netherlands at a reasonable total price (phones+shipping).

I have a CK7 & love them alot. They sound very good & are one of the best looking earphones/canalphones on the market. I am thinking about getting a second one.

Well, I decided to go ahead: I've ordered the CK7's from audiocubes.
I hope they arrive soon

doesn't jaben.net sell the ck7's?

EDIT: my bad, it's the ck5 they sell, and they sell it in a bundle with the MylarOne x3i's

 

[weeghel]

thanks. I already checked them out and found the same thing.
They have good prices, if you're looking exactly for what they sell

You definitely made the right choice picking the CK7 out of these three. How much did you pay? Amazon has them for $66.77
