Once again my dog managed to eat his way through another pair of my trusty NE-7M's.
See the carnage here:
Anywho, I like to have IEMs to work out with. I could order another pair online but then I'd have to wait for shipping and I don't want that downtime. So I did what any good Head-Fi'er would do and stroll into a Best Buy to see what can hold me over.
So there's the usual Best Buy fare: colorful iPod earphones, Dr. Dre Beats, Skullcandy earphones, etc.. and something catches my eye: Ultimate Ears. Hey isn't Ultimate Ears the brand that makes those really nice UE10s? They should at least know what they're doing.
Wrong.
These things sound horrible. Extremely boomy bass with a badly recessed midrange and a screechy top end. I honestly do think these are comparable to Skullcandy IEMs. I'll give them another couple of hours to see if they open up, if not, then they're getting returned.
Sorry to start another noob thread, but can anyone recommend IEMs I can buy locally (Target, Wal-Mart, Best buy, etc)? Preferably under $60.
