hello...i'm reading your advices and your reviews over a year now...thx to you i bought my ksc75 and the marshmallows...and i'm pretty happy with them...but now i have a little more money...and want an upgrade...a big one )...i moslty listen to Rock/Alternative/Metal...and i really like how the ksc75 do the job...but i mostly listen on the go...so i prefer a earbud...but i was dissapointed with the ok3 wich i bought as a upgrade to my mx760...and dindn't like them at all...so i'm looking now in the IEM sector )
 
oh yes...the marshmallows also is pretty nice with rock...i think )...but they are my first iem...and i gotta get used to them...i am able to get a good seal only after 5 minutes of trying to pop them into my ear
 
now to the subject
 
-   i have 200-250$ so i wanna choose between SUPER.FI 5PRO wich i'm not able to find cheeper than 250...and the WESTONE 2 wich on earphonesolution are 250 )
-   how i mentioned bevore i mostly listen to Rock/Alternative/Metal
-   and i'm not a basshead....i need some bass...but prefer it to be tight and punchy but not in a really big quantity
-   i know there are other iem...and i'm not disconsidering them...maybe the se420 or q-jays or ue700...or even the um2
my problem is this is my first investition over 50$ )...and i wanna be sure that i don't just throw away 200-250$
-  
and yes....i forgot...i sold my ipod classic and will be listening from a sansa clip+ ....i thought that the difference of sq is supposed to be made by the headphones not the player...and heard that clip does the job not worser than a ipod...and it reads FLAC )
and i will be listening without an amp...
i have a fiio e3 but don't thing that i'll be using it...
 
 


i read a lot of review and opinions of this iem...but never really had a chance for a face off between them...
 
my basic options are the super.fi's and the westone's...if u have another opinion...i'll be very happy to listen to )
 
and will be thery gratefull if u also sujest me from where to buy the pair of iem that u recomand )

TF10 is a good buy as is SE530 if you can find them at that price, id avoid the SE420 ,not a great sounding phone

and if u can sujest a trusted site from where can i order them i'll be gratefull...they were 229 on earphonesolution but out of stock ((((

Being the owner of TF10 i can tell you it does a good job with rock music. The vocal is good, guitars, bass and drum are all there. However it lacks a "body" sound, like you can tell there's a gap in the middle spectrum due to V shape freq response, this can be fixed with EQ tho. The W3 to me is more balance throughout the spectrum, more analytical so to speak while TF10 is a "fun" IEM to listen to.

tf10 is very good for rock as it emphases the bass and treble and it is Superior to the super fi pro ,amazon is a good place to buy them .
