The Metro.Fi has tons of base -- he might just like them, depending on age and preferred genres. I did not mean to bum anyone out. Don't take my word for it, maybe you guys will like them and think I am FOS. No right or wrong here, right?

true, he is 15 so he may welcome the bass....I figure they have to be better than the earbuds lol
I was going to go for the ALs but they look hard to wear/bulky, plus having to do them over the ear may bother since he wears glasses

Forget about it... with glasses that is. These stick out Frankenstein style. Do not subject the poor boy to that kind of inhumane treatment.

You won't be disappointed with the ADDIEMs, I don't think.

I manage to wear the 3336s with glasses, all the time. I find them very comfy with the Sony hybrid tips, large in my case.

Funny how people perceive things differently. I have a friend who dumped his Ety H5s (gave them to his wife) for the 200v to use with his iPhone. He likes the bass the 200v delivers. I was listening to them yesterday at my desk, and don't find them crappy (with the Clip/T4 combo and a little EQing). As you say, no wrong opinions. There are a few others who liked them at the $25 price point. I would not pay $99 for them, but that's my new IEM strategy. Under $50 or over $250 - nothing in between.

The Metrofi's are just fine and the don't make you look "freakish" and the "base" isn't that bad. They cost $25 and have a remote and a iphone mic. For knocking around, just fine. I do need to find other tips. The supplied ones are too slick once the sweat starts happening.

^^^^^
Reading comprehension isn't your strong point, is it? Maybe that explains your tin ears too...

 

[volntitan]

Chill out skippy...I thought we were talking about the cheap UE's.

And my ears are just fine, thank you.

So hostile. I guess my ears are tinny too. Oh well.

Just as an FYI, he meant the 336s are ugly sticking out of your ears, not the MF 200v (the jab about reading comprehension). But no reason to be so nasty, agree.

Ordered a pair after reading through this and another thread. tstarn06, I saw your review on Amazon, which sealed the deal for me. Looking forward to giving these a listen.

 

[tstarn06]

Geez, now I hope you like them. I still do, especially for $25.

 

[lucky]

^ Me too! My IEM exploits have essentially been limited to the EP630 and CX300, so I'll be interested in hearing what higher-caliber portables sound like.

Are the metroFis good for sleeping? They do not look like they stick out too much, but verification from an owner would be great.

Thanks

Might not be right for sleeping, as they do not sit flush with ear. Unless, of course, you can sleep sitting up. I use W3s when snoozing, as they are flush with my outer ear. So I would say no to that question.
