I'm don't need much bass and I need clarity in the guitars (I have a px100 and I think it was too much bass, so yeah :p) and it has be around 55$, 60 is the max.
I was thinking about Hippo Shroom EB (57$) or Thinksound Rain (51$).
Which one is the best?
 
If you have a better suggestion feel free to say it.
 
Thanks.
 
 
PS: Also, I don't mind buying it used as long it's in good condition.

The Rains have good clarity and great mids (lush).
i find them very good for acoustic guitar.
at $51 they are good value.

hmmm, I was initially inclined to get the  Hippo Shrooms EB, but now I'm starting to like the Thinksound rains reviews.
Apparently, they seem more flat than the shrooms, can anyone confirm this?

I would say ECCI PR300, if you want something warmer Brainwavz M2/Visang R03, colder and more spacious, but more expensive (~65$) Fischer Audio Silver Bullet.

hmm, after reading some threads it appears that the pl-50 doesn't have as much detail as the shrooms.
The problem is that there isn't many Shroom Eb reviews.
A lot of people also compare the Rains to the re0s and it appears to warmer, but I don't understand if they have less detail.
 
So, I have to decide beetween: Hippo Shrooms EB, Soundmagic PL-50 and Thinksound Rain.
 
I hate decisions -.-
 
 
 
@zest
it seems the pl-50 is better
