Hello Head-Fi,
I came to know about this incredible forum only a few days back, and I must say, this place is a storehouse of information for everyone, from casual music lovers to hardcore audiophiles. Great work indeed.
As you guys must have guessed by the title of the thread, I want some advice. I want to buy a pair of entry level In-Ear Monitors to be used with my iPhone 4S, as the standard Apple ones suck.
When I say entry level, I mean in the range of $10-$15. So I was researching about my potential choices, and stumbled on this thread:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/561951/philips-she3580-iem-review-how-can-something-sound-so-good-for-10/60
As almost everyone might be aware here, the Philips SHE3580 has garnered a lot of praise as being an excellent value for money IEM for its price range. But I can't get it since I want microphone functionality too.
I currently live in India, and the Philips SHE3595 is available here through an online retailer, for approximately $9.58. If I am right, the SHE3595 is the microphone toting variant of the SHE3580.
I am really inclined towards getting the SHE3595. However, I believe it would be great to seek the opinions of the Head-Fi community. Hence, I request you guys to tell me what do you think of the SHE3595, especially at the price point of $9.58?
PS: I wouldn't classify myself as a hardcore audiophile, but I do love music a lot. As much as I would love to go for the likes of Klipsch, V-Moda, Shure and things like that, but I'm currently a student, and don't want to splurge money on audio accessories that cost more than my phone. Hence, I decided to go for Philips SHE3595.
I would also like to mention, that I've not used a whole array of earphones/headphones, but I am currently using Creative's EP630, and if the Philips SHE3595 sounds as good as that, I believe it's a perfect choice.
Lastly, my apologies for being a bit verbose. I'm sure I'll get the best opinions here.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajat Sharma.
