LF entry IEMs, around 100 euros/below 150 dollar

[oeleketoeter]

Hello guys,

I'm new here. In the last year i was in the posession of the Sony EX-71 and the Creative EP-630. My eyes were opened to the world of the 'in-ears'. The cable of the Sony broke and 4 months later i chose the Creatives as a new set. I liked them but my cats broke the cords in pieces

Now I have some money for real IEMs. But there are many options available at the pricepoint i'm looking at. I'm looking for the best choice, so does everyone. I currently own a Zune. On my Zune I mostly listen to bands like U2, Coldplay, 3 Doors Down and Maroon5. But I also listen to DJs like Tiësto and Paul Oakenfold. And Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Nelly Furtado are also among my playlists.(And I listen to Christian Worship like Hillsong (United) for the people who know those groups) So my types of music are very different from eachother. Looking at my preferences, which IEMs are best for me?

Westone UM1 seems to be best choice at this price range. They are quite good allrounders and IMO they are undoubtedly suitable for Tiesto, Nelly and U2.

Super.Fi Pros. All around fun sound, good low, mids and highs. If you prefer stronger bass, Futuresonics Atrios M5s seems to be the choice of many.

x2 on finding a pair of superfi 5 pro. Theres been quite a few of them goin around the FS forums for ~$130. I listen to pretty much all the music that you listed, and the superfi really makes the songs sound great.

maybe the d or q jays? Super.fi 5 pro are also an excellent choice.

Hmm, i have a problem with the super.fi 3 and 5, they stick so much out of your ear, i honestly don't want to walk with those phones. I have no problem with second hands, btw.

Super.fi 5 pro or Super.fi 5 EB (if you like more bass) are both great options.

I got my Denon AH-C700s recently. I'm waiting until I really listen to them for an extended period before I review them, but they sound absolutely AMAZING. Incredibly deep bass and a lot of clarity on the mid-range.
