I've been doing a large amount of research here on Head-fi the last couple days in an effort to find a good set of IEM's under $100. I previously owned a pair of cx 300's that only recently gave out on me after 3 years of hard use. I thought they were the best things since sliced bread after upgrading to them from standard issue ipod buds, but apparently there is so much more to be heard!
After reading through lots of reviews and thoroughly/exhaustively examining lJokerl and Clive0S's write ups (awesome job btw guys) I think I've narrowed my choices down to three different IEM's:
Panasonic HJE900 ($89)
Phonak Audeo Perfect Bass PFE 012 ($89)
And the Visang R03/Brainwavz m2 ($60)
Due to the cx 300 I am used to a big bass sound, but i would like a crisper/popier more precise bass out of my my new pair. To be honest I'm really just too inexperienced in the field to know exactly what sound I want, so here is what I listen to:
Hip-hop
Alternative rock
Some rap
Techno/house.
My main reason for posting is to see if anyone out there has any experience with 1 or more of these IEM’s. Did I pick good choices given my music preferences? Is there any IEM that anyone feels was overlooked in my quest? What do you feel would be best given my needs?
P.S. I also just ordered s pair of Meelectronics M6 that should be here in a couple days ($25 on Amazon, I thought this was a steal). I got the m6 for gym use so this separate set would be used more for casual/walking/sit down listening.
