Had a pair of E3Cs but they just required being put in too deep, and I couldn't hear a single thing going on around which. Which isn't always bad..

Looks like my only choices are now are the Creative EP630 and the Sennheiser CX300, right?

Will prob go with the EP630s, since they're basically a duplicate of the CX300s, but cheaper. Any other suggestions?

Oh and yes I've had the KS75s. I have multiple pairs and love them, actually. I just need something I can carry around in my pocket with an MP3 player.

With the KSC75s, if I walk around with them the ear clip bends.

I think the V-moda Vibes might suit your needs. I've not tried them, so I'm just pulling together what others have said about it.

The V-Moda Vibes are what your looking for.

Vibes, Bose IE's. I wouldn't go for CX300's or EP630's, though. I used to own MD33s', which use the same housing, and they isolated pretty well.

Never heard of the V-modas but will give those a look.

Leaning towards the black right now. Chrome is a little flashy haha

The Vibes are excellent semi-isolating IEMs. But be warned, some can find their sounds too colored. I find them extremely fun, but the upper-mids are a bit recessed. Overall, excellent buds with an average entrance iem price tag.

I agree with the above posts. The vibes are slightly open so you aren't completely isolated and they sound OK but colored.

There's also the JBL 220, which are very similar to the Vibes in the semi-isolating canalphone way but offer a different sound. $20 cheaper regular price, but the 220s can be found on sale at Staples from time to time or you can find and use Staples coupons to drop the price on them.

The Vibes have also taken quite a bashing around here now that the inital hype period has died down, it seems.

Your problem is just about the fit right? You seemed to emphasize that more than you did with the reason you wanted for isolation. Then get the Ep630s. If not then the Vibes.

 

[imhungry]

I'm between the two right now, I might get both if I can justify the cash..

Which has a better sound quality in general? I listen to basically every genre of music, really.

I think I'd be happy with either.

If you don't really need an IEM, you should look at the Yuin PK-2. Great SQ at a good price!

Damn!

I just saw this.

I could just put 630 tips onto the marshmallows couldn't I? Don't they sound better than the 630s, but for cheaper?

If not, it's EP630s for me probably..

 

[imhungry]

Hmm, might order one of each and give the Marshmallows to my friend..

I think I might like the EP630s more than Marshmallows with EP630 tips. ah
