Hi, I brook the standard earphones of my cowon iaudio 7 and I need new ones
Generally I will use it in metro, in gym, biking or running, so I will not use it ampled (but I hope my iaudio is powerful enough, usually I set volume control to 20) , I like listen to rock music
Because sometimes I can’t use it with the right care, I wonder to buy 2 sets, one cheep for hard work (it must be comfortable and durable, not microphonics) and one with better sq and isolation (but I will use it in the gym too, so don’t want vast too much money)
Here some I am thinking about, with pro/contra and price (with sh fees to Italy) I can get them
The cheap one:
-YUIN OK3 Earphones 70$: I really think to buy these ones, they are cheap, their sq is similar to more expensive PK2 (I need an advice about these 2), I hope they are ok without ampl, I think at last one earphone set can be in my equipment
-WESTONE UM1 it’s comfortable, but low sq, so better go with yuin
The good one:
-Head-Direct’s RE2 (110$) have a short wire and maybe need an ampl (please, I need an advise here)
-Altec Lansing inMotion iM716: I can get it for only 100$, but I am not able to depod it (maybe I can get a resistor adaptor for 20$) and I don’t know if my cowon is powerful enough to ampl it (please, I need an advise here), iM616 doesn’t need an ampl, but their sq is lower
-shure 530: everyone reviews them very well, I can get them on ebay for only 300$ but the cable issue is too big to afford
-sleek audio sa6: they seem very popular at now, but they are a little bit expensive (about 230-240$ with sh fees) and they seem frail (but cable is replaceable) to use for sport
Please, any advice about the phones I have listed or someone else?
Thank you and best regards
