Should I get the ue700 or DBA 02? I can get the ue700 cheaper than the dba 02. I like the ue design more but dba 02 have been getting rave reviews. Somebody help!!
I would steer clear of the DBAs and get the Brainwavz B2s, which are pretty much the same IEM. Mainly, that is for warranty purposes.
I have owned the B2s and they are very good, but don't have the UE700s. So tough call. Are you getting the UE700 for $100? Because the B2s are available for $130 or $140, I think, via Amazon. Anyway, I wish I could help. but can't. I do know that the UE500vi isn't too far from the B2s, similar sound signatures with good seals. The B2s are good, though. Tough call.
Distortions at high volumes? What exactly does that mean? Read some reviews of the UE700s and while not all are 5-star, no one mentioned distortions at high volumes. And listening at high volumes can cause distortions to your hearing over the long haul.
m8te- I am the OP and I got mine in a trade where I clearly made out the best because I have bought4 or 5 pair of IEM's others have chosen that would sound better than the UE700's and they haven't to me sounded so much better as to make me not use them everyday. I use them when I'm out an about or chillin in my aprtment or some Sleek Audio SA-6's, these UE700 are easy to listen to and are not missing anything that I can hear. If these broke I'd pay 130 in a heartbeat to get another pair. I'm not saying these are "THE" IEM's, I'm just saying they are overlooked by alot of people who'd probably really love them. Its all about the sound to me thats it, if they sound good they stay if not they get replaced. These have been with me for months now...I still enjoy them.
