For a ~$100 IEM, what would be your choice and why: Brainwavz B2 or HifiMan RE-400?

That's actually a tough question. I know you were asking |Joker|. I personally have to choose the RE-400. It's an easier IEM for me to digest and it offers great imaging, ample treble detailing and presence, good mids and bass as well. It's been a while since I put in my B2 though. Both a really, more or less great IEMs. It's basically a more treble-happy phone vs a warmer phone XD
Haha yea. The IE800, oh man, I have no doubt that if I had walked into a bar with them and went, "here listen to this." I wouldn't be leaving alone.
Ok sorry if I sound a little clueless because I am but I think I'm going with the RHA MA350 I hear really good about the bass hope I'm not unsatisfied but they have to be better than Skullcandy Inkd LOL
some questions regarding the JVC HA-FXT90...
is the fit snug? or does it fall out of the ear with cable movement.....?
does the design provide a more secure fit than the id America Spark, for example, or less?
and is it harsh/sibilant a-la Klipsch S4? (i hate the S4's treble)
thank you so much.....

It looks like the Philips Fidelio S1 might be a good choice as well. Thoughts?

Hi joker,
Own RE400 - enjoy it mainly with my jazz , vocal and acoustic recordings, but I want some another IEM with more bass quantity and accuracy too. Have 100 usd for it .
I have opportunity to buy EPH100 for some 100 usd incl. shipping. Are these hitting the bass like on Stones (I mean Charlie and Darryl...) live concert in Montenegro, Budva beach 2007?
Or CC51 for 30 usd? Or....

Hi ljokerl!
Do you recommend any specific tip, to improve sound isolation of fxt90?
If anybody can helps I appreciate that too.
Thanks
hi there I was advised to look at this thread for some good advices. I'm looking for a new IEM to replace my dying sennheiser cx300. The budget is max 60 USD. I mainly listen to rock, classic rock, metal (rhytmic). Some main names: Creedence clearwater revival, Foghat, Billy Idol, John Petrucci, Elvenking, Kansas, Motley Crude, Gary Moore, Kiss, Trivium, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Guano Apes, Metallica, Lordi, Queen, Bob Marley, RHCP, 3 doors down, ACDC, Alice Cooper, Bad COmpany, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Disturbed, Nightwish, Pantera, Seether, ZZ Top Could you please offer me something which would fit to this type of music, at a maximum price of 60 USD? I was told to check the VSonic VSD1, or the Sony MH1C. The Vsonic looks better to me, but is there any other best offer ?

There won't be a big difference becase the FXT90 is kind of limited in isolation by the way it fits but a short bi-flange tip works pretty well. You can get Sennheiser ones for the IE7/IE8 or the ones from the MEElec M11+.
The EPH-100 has plenty of bass; it's nothing like the RE-400, so it would be a good compliment. Definitely worth $100 if you're looking for a bassier - but not overly bloated - IEM. The CC51 is somewhere between the two in bass quantity but not quite as good overall.

The VSonic VSD1 is pretty awesome. Punchy, controlled bass and crisp, prominent treble. It'll be a great match for your music for the price. The MH1C is more similar to the CX300 in sound signature - warm and smooth, with more bass than the VSD1. It's also pretty great and the smoother treble would be an asset if you listen at higher volumes but I prefer the tighter, brighter VSD1 personally, especially for rock and metal.
Hey, I was wondering if the soundmagic E10 would be the clearest sounding headphones at that price range? I've been looking around for a few days and have seen these recommended many times. Also, will I notice a difference between the soundmagic and my current ( the newer default earbuds)?
Thanks a lot.
