The Urbanear Bagis caught my eye in the shop.
They are supposedly the same parent company as Marshall Amplifications or something?
So how bad or good are they?
Is either the Bagis or the Plattan worthy of a shot?
 
I mainly focus on a mid/high range, bass hopefully not too much.
Or has anyone tried them?
I havent seen too many in-depth reviews of them here, consumer reviews at external sites have one contradicts the other so not reliable..
 
Opinons?

urbanears is mainly fashion oriented. You're better off with skullcandy, and nobody likes skullcandy around here (though their recent releases are getting decent). Yea they're that bad. You should look into other brands. Fortunately, you came to the right place!
 
What's your budget? Do you want in-ears or headphones? what music do you listen to?
 
If you want more options, and really good reviews, visit this thread!

I've tried the Kransen and the Bagis. A bit too much bass/midbass for my taste. It muffled the overall sound. 
 
In short, they look better than they sound.

I stayed off IEM's and stuck to on-ear/over-ears for quite a while, my last few sets were all headphones.
 
Also saw quite a few Philips brands in the same shop (heard Philips are pretty good price vs. Performance). Pioneer also saw a few, a few brands that don't quite see often.
 
I'm looking for something that will revitalize my faith in IEM's once again!
