Hi. My name is Raul, and i´m from Brazil.
I got some doubts about IEMs, i hope you dont care about how many they are.
I´m looking forward to buy a IEM for me, but besides my doubt about what IEM to buy, here in Brazil no one sells IEMs (sony´s are the best earbuds that you can find here, and dont even dream of a Fontopia, the stores here don´t get "so far"
) (so i can´t try them out in stores)
One of the problems i got is that amazon and other reliable stores don´t ship electronics to Brazil, and i already got a fake sennheiser on ebay (a mx90). So i was hoping you could show me some ebay seller that you trust, to get a original earbud without doubt.
The other doubt is what IEM to get. I´m thinking in these ones:
- Sennheiser CX300
- Shure E2C
- Creative EP630
- V MODA VIBE
- Ety ER6i
The crative and probably the Senn i can get without paying import taxes. The others i will have to pay 60% of its price in taxes (this can help in the decision).
(little tale mode on)
I was thinking like this: Shure E2C seems to be a nice IEM. Then i read some threads in this forum of people saying that the cx300 is at the same level (and it is cheaper). So lets get a CX300. But then i read some ppl saying that the Creative is the same as the sennheiser (and its cheaper). So lets get a Creative. But wait, the Creative (for like $25) can´t be as good as the Shure! So i got confused!
The V MODA got in the list after i read a good review, and it looks really nice, and the Etymotic i just put there, no particular reason.
(little tale mode off)
Just to end my really long thread:
The best earphone i´ve ever used is my Sennheiser HD202 (yeh yeh, must be your dog´s phone in your 1st world, but down here it costs me the equivalent of $90(!) in a professional audio store about 3 or 4 years ago).
Comparing with my Senn HD202, that IEMs are better or worse in audio quality? (i know that IEMs are not the best choice for audio quality)
Sorry by the "blog" like post, this way i can explain exactly the situation. Thanks for any help!
