In the August 2007 issue.

The winner is:

1-Creative Zen Aurvana rated A-
2-Apple In-Ear B+
3-Shure SE210 B+
4-Harman Kardon EP720 B+
5-Sennheiser CX300 C+
6-V-Moda Bass Freq C-

Their advice under the heading:

"What to Look For"

-A choice of sizes
-Very good sound quality across the range from bass to treble
-A carrying case for the earbuds, plus extra attachments and a cleaning tool

I am not kidding. Next time someone asks what to look for in a headphone or amp now I know what to say: "Look for very good sound quality across the range from bass to treble".

Now aren't you glad we have Skylab to review here?

Range from bass to treble! His dream rig can be completed with an equalizer!

Yes we are glad to have his reviews here.

Crazy. Zen Aurvanas sounded horrible last time I heard them. Definitely not better than the Shures, although they might lack a bit of bass.

Hey where's Bose IEM? it's a Money magazine after all...


And where's Koss The Plug? u wanna Treble and BASS, NOTHING beats this "subwoofer" in your head - EVER!

 

[MusicallySilent]

I say they should have replaced the apple senn and vibe with actual IEMs that are designed for blocking noise so it would be more fair (no bias about sound blocking)

They could have had
Ety ER6/i
Vmoda Vibe possibly
UE Super.fi 3
Westone UM1

they've probably never tested or heard of said "REAL products"

If Money Mag. is rating which IEM is making more money, than maybe they will start putting some fact to backup their claim. Otherwise, life of a Head-fier needs no guidelines nor reviews from Wall Street, or the street next to Wall Street (and that street where Money's editor is working).

 

[epaludo]

Apple In Ear same rate as Shure SE210?

That is very funny. What a jerks ...

 

[Audio Fidelity]

Money magazine reviews IEMs? I better refer to audiophile and What Hi-Fi.

 

[daveDerek]

thank goodness for magazines such as money doing reviews of audio eqpt. who'd want to turn to wonky audio magazines for any suggestions or ideas about such gear.

 

[lutwey]

one advice to money magazine: "don't quit your day job"

 

[Mors]

Obviously they need to stay talking about money because they know nothing about IEM's. Terrible.

 

[Aevum]

atleast they list the herman kardons, which are ETY based, but the fact that he lists them behind apple stock buds, the aurvanas and other ****, i dont think these people usualy review sound equipment,
