looking for the iems that will thrash my ears, any suggestions ? i have a hot offer on some jvc fx500 victor , would they excel ?
 
i also listen to other stuff like good bass BUT i really don't want to compromise in the thrash department
 
ps: i recently had a very bad experience with re0's so i'm looking for something DURABLE ...don't want them to die within just a few months...

What do you mean by thrash your ears? lol do you want to be in pain after listening? XD

 

[ethan961]

First thought was thrash metal, looks like I'm wrong.

 

[elk0019]

i meant thrash metal...it was just an expression... why would i want to be in pain after listenin music lol ? xD

 

[dub Beatz]

Haha, I know I was just giving you a hard time. I wish I could help you out but in terms of IEMs I'm an idiot. Looking for some myself, but thrash isn't my preference. What is that btw? like Dragonforce? lol.

can i get a serious on topic opinion from somebody experienced ? or am i damned to an eternity of fart jokes ?

If by thrash you mean the likes of old Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer, I would recommend the ViSang R03/Brainwavz M2 in the <$70 category. I've not heard the FX500.

 

[elk0019]

yes those are the bands, including nuclear assault, exodus, etc
 
i seem to have found the iems you mention.. only problem is it's made in china, and i have a problem with that..

 

[ethan961]

If you don't want made in China, you'll have to go with the Westone UM series or something. Nearly all audio equipment made in factories is made in China, because that's where the OEMs are mostly located. Just because it's from China doesn't mean it's junk.

I was gonna suggest the deal on the UEs but it was one day only...
 
Lol, glad you liked that song 2rooi123.

 

[elk0019]

try justifing that to me, i just had 2 pairs of re0 brake in just a few months, i tought as you did about made in china before that.. now my eyes are open, no more china for me, i've had enough..

 

[ethan961]

That has more to do with the IEM itself and its design than where it is made. The factory can do almost anything, and it is up to the main company to design a well designed IEM that will be durable and ensure the factory does what is needed. I have several IEMs made in China that are built very well and have stood up to abuse, and some of them at low prices like $30 too. It's all in design. Other than that, if they cheap out on quality control that's another thing, but that's also up to the main company. Most of the OEMs that make the majority of our IEMs from big names are credible and obviously can have very good quality control for companies like Senn for example. If they can do it for Senn, they can do it for others if so desired.

Most of the consumer IEMs are made in China, even brands like Sennheiser. Usually only the flagship series are made in their own countries, and this don't apply for everyone company too. As for the FX-500, the price should be around $130-140. If you plan to get it from ebay, then it will most likely be fake.
