Howdy,

I am making a buyers guide for a Dutch website and would love to get a helping hand here.

The guide is only about in-earphones!

My first task is to write down a top 5 for each price:

<$50
<$100
<$200
<$500


So far I got:

<$50

1. Yuin PK3
2. EP-630
3. Sennheiser CX300
4. SONY EX85 Earphone
5. JVC Marshmallow

<$100

1. Shure SE110
2. Ultimate Ears fi. 3
3. Westone UM1
4. Yuin PK2
5. Etymotic Research ER6i Black
6. Mylarone X3's

<$200

1. q-JAYS
2. Denon C700 (C751)
3. Shure SE310
4. Ultimate Ears fi. Pro 5
5. YUIN PK1
6. Etymotic ER4-P ER4P
7. Future Sonic Atrio M5s

<$500

1. ?
2. Shure SE530
3. ULTIMATE EARS TRIPLE.FI 10 PRO
4. Shure SE420
5. Westone UM2

Number 5 is just as good as number 1, I only need 5 great in-ears for each price.

So, please tell me which earphones I should add on the ?'s as well as on the category's that are full now:

Everything can still change and your help is really appreciated!

Please define what you mean by earphone. I was going to suggest Alessandro MS1s for the<$100 but I see none of your other picks rest on the ears.

<$50 could include JVC Marshmellows, and possible the E2C. I'm not sure how much they are over there.

Sorry, I mean only in-ears!

Sennheiser CX300 under $50

 

[Chrysoberyl]

ER6 <100$

 

[boconnor811]

IM716 < $100

 

[Jon118]

I can't really see how you can put a headphone that isn't even out (Westone 3) on the list. Maybe wait on that one, and the iM716 is out of production, so I would avoid that one at least.

 

[mrarroyo]

Under $200 I would add the Etymotic ER4P and the ER4S.

True I will leave that one out on the final list.

You'd have to mention the Mylarone X3s, but I guess since they $57 they don't quite fit in the $50 bracket, yet I don't think they quite compete with $100 IEMs...

I don't understand how could you rate an list of earphones [1-5 per budget] when you never heard some of them [and even if you heard them all.. What makes an earphone lesser for you, might make it better for another.....]

Or are the 1-5 per budget lists are not sorted by descending order of quality? [As in, all are equally good for the budget?]

Was just wondering, Good luck with your guide.

I'd definetely include the Future Sonic Atrio M5s in the <$200 group too...

Like I said in my opening post:

Number 5 is just as good as number 1, I only need 5 great in-ears for each price.


So yes, all are equally good for the budget.
