Hello,
I've been doing a bunch of research around these forums as well as other sites for a while now and want to get some advice from the folks on this forum.
Basically I would be using this for everyday listening, mostly during my commute to work/school (fairly loud on skytrain - which is basically a subway above ground), so good noise-isolating would be nice. I am coming from my Bose MIE2s which (to me anyway) sounded wonderful compared to $40 JVCs I used to buy and very comfortable. I also want a mic/control button(s) included in the IEMs because it's useful to be able to hear people clearly through the skytrain noise and be able to speak with them, as well as skip tracks etc.
My tastes in music are generally more Indie rock/folk than anything, although I still do listen to a lot of hip-hop, electronic, pop.. basically whatever I am feeling like at the moment.
I've looked a quite a number of IEMs and have narrowed it down to two so far:
Klipsch Image S4a II - Roughly $80 off Amazon
Audiofly AF56 w/ microphone - Roughly $90 (Vino) off Amazon
I guess another note is that I am buying from Canada, afaik I can still order off of Amazon.com as opposed to .ca...
Any other suggestions of other good IEMs for roughly the same price range would be awesome or recommendations on either of those two that I have picked would be sweet too.
Thanks in advance!
