I need an IEM at 80-90 dollars,
What do you think will be the best choice for rock music, MylarOne X3 or super.fi 3

Thanks.

I think the Denon AH-C700 would be your best bet for Rock. The bass and mids are fantastc. Check out the appreciation thread:

Amazon has them on a huge discount $99.99!

Super FI Hands Down!

Or If you can save up another $50, the Super Fi 5's are around $130 at CostCo, if I were you, I'd try and save up for these!

Denons will kill most sub-$200 canalphones in all departments except for isolation. Ridiculously valued phones when you can find them below $150. However the isolation is poor and only good to knock out mid-high frequencies, but not lower/ambient noise. Otherwise go for them.

The Mylarones have slightly more isolation, but lack bass compared to the Denons, though for the price they're as valued as the now-cheap SF.3s that isolate far better.

FeedMeTrance, I thought you re-wired your former-pair with an ES1 cable. In any case, yes, they are quite an amazing phone for $50 at radioshack

^ No I am still waiting for my ES2 cable to modify and use with my Super Fi 5's.

I believe super.fi 3s are better than 5s in terms of mid and upper range so if you want lower go super.fi 5 but if you want clear cymbals and etc, I'd go super.fi 3, mylarone I never tried. SF in general is a funky fit though, depends on your ear, they never fit me, not well at least

The Mylarone X3i is the upgraded version of the normal X3. I've never heard the other offerings, but the X3i has wonderful detail with more bass than the original X3. The X3/X3i are known for great detail.

YOu can do the flip-flop mod, and it will sit flush with your ear.

X3s hands down for SQ. I had the super.fi 3s side by side with the XBs and the decision took all of 5 minutes of listening. The sf3s went back to radio shack the same day I got the XBs. Now the build quality of the Mylars....that's a worry.
