Next, came the PFEs, which were featured on Anythingbutipod in a review by HFer dfkt. The Apple phones have been out several months as well, with the first review being posted here on 12/16. Only reason they are getting more play here lately is their $35 price on ebay (for used, but actually like new). At that price they are a steal, that's for sure, but also worth their $79 tag. The Monster Turbines, another excellent phone, started out at $149, but many Head-Fi'ers got them free as a review pair (myself included). On etailer has them close to $100, another excellent value. Not sure what your second statement means. I still prefer my Westone 3s over all my other phones, but feel all the phones you mentioned all offer great value, and to some folks, they do come very close to top tier phones. And to some, albeit a small minority, two of those phones, the Turbines and the PFEs, are as preferred as top tier phones under the right listening conditions (example, the PFEs need an amp to hit their potential). So what's your point? |

You then explain that your point could be many things/angles, which is why I asked. I get that English isn't your first language. But that made it difficult for me to understand exactly what you were trying to tell the OP, who asked a simple question in the thread title. You are trying to tell the OP to follow the trend of how the discussions always center around the same models. That doesn't really answer his question/challenge. All he asked was to convince him there is a better choice among the under $100 phones than the NuForce phones. I responded that three IEMs, that I have owned, qualify in my view. Two I still own, one I sold. Pretty simple. I can't recommend phones I haven't tried/used (though people do, which I feel is not always helpful). Expect some others will make other recommendations, such as the person who posted the used PFEs. Sure there will be more. Why confuse the issue? He asked for suggestions, and I answered with my suggestions. Not trying to be negative, but why muck up the thread with a POV that really doesn't help answer the OP's question/challenge? He didn't ask about comparing under-$100 phones to top tier phones, for example. I agree with Clieos that it's a very challenging task, but I was just trying to give the OP what he asked for...suggestions. |

The NE-7M has a number of good qualities but also a few faults. It depends upon if the good aspects overshadow the faults and if the sound is the type of sound you prefer. The best thing you can do for us is describe, in as great a detail and as descriptively as possible, how you like your earphones to sound. What sound characteristics do you prefer? What specific aspects do you want? What don't you like? Etc., etc.... From this info, we can gauge if the NE-7M is even a compatible option for you. Maybe it's a great fit. Maybe it's the complete opposite of what you want. There will always be a "best fit" option, and that option will be the most appropriate choice...whatever it may be. |
