So, first time poster here and still not sure just what kind "sound" I want from my audio.
Basically just looking for a pair of IEM headphones with headset to replace my recently broken ones on a budget of around $50. I've got an Android phone so I would certainly prefer if the volume controls and such was compatible with it too. Now I know that the first thing to do is to check one of the enormous review threads for suggestions in my price range. The problem is that only around 1 in 6 of the headphones listed there are actually available for me to buy here in Sweden at the moment. The prices themselves also seem to differ greatly then what they're sold for in the US compared to here, sometimes for less though mostly a lot more.
So what I've basically done is picked 4 models that all seemed to have been reviewed decently and was hoping for help to narrow things down even further. They are:
They all cost basically the same with shipping. From what I've come to understand it seems like the MM70i has the best sound quality of the four but I'm somewhat hesitant after hearing complaints of the build quality (I want these to be able to take a little wear and tear after all). I know that it is probably hopeless to ask for someone to be able to review them all side by side and see how they hold up but any form comparison between them would be helpful. If anyone has any suggestions on other models outside of those that might be well-suited then feel free to suggest but again, brands like MEElectronics, Soundmagic, VSonic, Brainwavz, Xears, Hippo and others I just can't seem to find any sellers of here online and I just don't want to wait the time importing would take.
Thanks in advance.
