Hi, l am looking for a ~100 dollar in ear buds to replace my Meelec 9P's for my iPhone. I listen to rock (both classic and new), rap, and sometimes pop. I don't really consider myself an audiophile, I just want a pair of buds that block out some noise, feel comfy, and sound pretty good.
 
I think I've narrowed it down to these 3 choices.
 
Thanks.

can anyone offer insight?
 
Or if not, maybe just with in terms of the two brands: UE vs ety?

Have you tried looking in this thread for a pair?

Are the UE 600 better than the super fi pro 5?

I have the UE600 and it's pretty decent! Heard things I've never heard before and I started liking songs I never liked.

No. UE600 is a renamed SF5v2, don't bother.
 
The UE500vi is a better IEM than the UE600, I have heard both. If you have an iphone, the UE500vi is a very good choice.
 


 

 
People are often confused about this: Super fi 5 is NOT super fi 5 PRO. The UE500 is better than UE600 in terms of bass but not in terms of detail.

Well I have heard both ue600 and UE 500vi and I find the latter to be a more musical phone and it has the iPhone mic. Don't care what those reviews say. Just my view.

I agree with your view that the UE500 is more dynamic and having a mic is convenient. Awks, I intend to give the reviews to Wonderbra. No offense.

The Spider Realvoice had only positive reviews so far. I'm very keen on getting one!
