I listen to primarily Dubstep and Hip-Hop. I like my bass like any other. I did a quick look around for some decent IEMs, and I seen a few repeat offenders. Id like to stay around 40-50 USD bucks. I seen the HippoVB come up a lot. I seen these on Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/MEElectronics-SP51-BK-Preference-Headphone-Players/dp/B004OBZ2ZY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361515313&sr=8-1&keywords=hippo+vb ) Are these the same thing, just re-branded? Looks damn near identical. None the less, Im up for suggestions. Thanks guys.

Hippo VB will be excellent for hiphop, but not for dubstep, if you can increase your budget, have a look at Klipsch X10, otherwise, read about Brainwavz M4 or R1

Thanks guys, but I did a search on here and find that Hippos are good for dubstep... I guess opinions are like.. well haha. Im going to look into those.

 

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Does anyone know how the Meelectronics compare to the Hippo VBs? Where can I get a legit pair of Hippos at?

 

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Bump.

I have had the meelec m11+ for about 1 and a half or so and I think they are great. I don't really have much to compare them to, the only other iem that i have are the brainwave m2 i think is what it's called and those are not that great for dubstep. the m11 have good bass and great isolation so i'd say there good for dubstep.

Thanks this is where I'm at now. I'm around 100 bucks or so to spend...

Audio technica cks77
Futuresonics atrio m5/m7 ( I think)
Meelctronics sp51

The JVC FX3X, Sony XB60EX are highly recommended because both offers tight punchy dynamic heavy bass with good overall soundquality and they are great value for bassheads.
