My friend wants an all-arounder IEM's. Preferably under 100USD. She listens to all genres and emphasizes that she has a lot of game music and guitar.

How did she like your Etymotic?

Well... I didn't recommend that she try them on, as they are in ears, and would be kinda... disgusting to share. But I think she's looking for a fuller volume. She's currently looking at getting SE210's from Amazon. Is there a place with better price, perhaps, if she does decide on the SE210 as her final choice?

It is not disgusting if you clean things with alcohol. If you don't do that, it is disgusting even without sharing -_-

Anyways, to find best prices its just a matter of spending some cozy time with google. It would be better for her to try though first just to get a reference point, play with EQ maybe.

Would those Shures have a noticeably fuller sound? Who has heard them (and the ER6i's, if possible)?

Some ideas regarding fullness: V-Moda Vibes, Creative EP630s (quite reasonable, although not an audiophile 'phone by any means ... but "fun"), and Crossroads Mylarones XB (free international shipping from Jaben, in Singapore).

I'd recommend JBL Reference 220's. They're a good all 'round canal phone that's easy to get a good seal with. They can usually be had for $70.00, sometimes much cheaper at Staple or Staples.com.

Crossroads X3 no doubt. After so many IEMs that i tried, none could sound better at your price range.

Second that. I've been *very* pleased with mine, and I listen to a fairly diverse suite of music, from country to new age to classical to heavy metal to jazz to progressive rock to classic hard rock. They do at least passably with all of it.

I like my UE super.fi 3's which I picked up at amazon.com for $65

I listen to mainly rock and classical and they are very clear and distinct.

What do the Crossroad X3 and JBL have over the SE210?

 

[swt61]

I haven't heard the SE210, so I'm not much help there.
