Hi all,
This is my first time posting in Head-fi and I am amazed about how much information available here. It is actually overwhelming and sometimes difficult to find what I need. I've spend about 2 weeks reading various stuff here before posting and at least now I understand what you mean by IEM.
This is a little bit of background. The closest to IEM I have is the earbuds from my SonyEricsson W810i cell phone. It is not bad as far as isolation goes but the sound is a muffled. I also often heard sound from the wire when I turn my head (microphonics?).
I am looking for an IEM of ~$100. And hopefully it is something that is a big improvement (in everyway) over what I use. I would use the IEM with computer (desktop/laptop), Creative Microphoto MP3 player, and W810i.
Does anyone have any recommendation on what to get if my budget is ~$100?
So far my top two choices based on what I read here are the Denon AH-C700 and the AudioTechnica ATH-CK7.
I think if the Denon is still $100, I would buy it, but now since the price increase, I am wondering if the Denon worth that much more over the CK7.
Can anyone who have experience with both of these IEM/canal phones gives their opinion/comparison between the two? (I've read a comparison in the big Denon thread, but I would like to get more opinion).
Will spending ~$100 IEM be a big step up to what I use (if anyone ever use the canal phones that came with SonyEricsson W810i)?
Also, I am not restricting myself only on these two IEM. So if you have other recommendations within my prince range, just let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance.
