so i am looking to buy some entry level IEM's and it seems the more i read the more lost i get.
this is my first foray into, what i would consider "expensive," headphones as so far in my 26 years i have only purchased Sony brand headphones in the sub $40 range.
i think I've narrowed my selection down to either A) the Klipsch image S4 II, or B) the Sennheiser CX300 II. i have been reading around the interwebz for a couple months now and these seem to stand out, except i haven't been able to find a comparative review between these two specific models (only S4 VS. CX300 II or S4 II vs. CX300), and i have been reading conflicting reviews about both headphones. some say the S4 II's are "bass light" compared to the CX300's, some say the complete opposite, some will say that the build quality is better on one than the other and then visa versa, etc.
i have also heard some people mentioning the Sony MDR-EX310, but this has been more rarely talked about and also has conflicting reviews. plus i believe its discontinued?
so i guess my question(s) is this
is it even worth spending a only a little bit more for either of these or should i just pick up some Sony's from best buy for $20-40?
which of the two is better, or can somebody else at least compare them?
and, can suggest anything better? my Sony headphones have always lasted quite a long time (my current pair is past two years), so i would say build quality is important, i wouldn't say I'm a bass head, but i do like it and i don't want something that is lacking either.
so thank you in advance, i hope you guys can help me... because I've been going crazy over this
