Hi All,

I recently purchased a Cowon D2, which I'm using with my Senn PX-100's. I'm looking for something better and was wondering what you were all using?

My max budget is approx £100 - I'm not using a portable amp, something comfortable to wear (unlike my e2c's).

I had considered a pair of iGrado's but I understand they aren't very good.

Most people don't like them because the lows tend to drown out mids and highs... which is fine by me because I'm a bass head. Isolation is excellent and its price should be around 100.

Image X10, Sleek-Audio SA6, LiveWires. Depends on the mood. The D2 combined with the Tomahawk is just pure love.

Mports, phones with warmth/ bass are recommended for the Cowon as they have good synergy with its more analytical sound. This will also matter if you plan to use it unamped

I have been researching this question myself on head-fi - suggest you search the forum for the reviews on the following IEMs that should be in your budget

Sleek SA6
V Moda Vibes

x2. Great advice geekchic!

Warmer ear buds or IEMs work best with the D2. Or a good portable amp will help here also. For earbuds Yuins do quite well. Shures are known to have great synergy and for open cans you should like the Grado lineup.

Just don't get the V-Moda Vibes there are so many earphones out there that are a lot better for the price and way more durable. It seems the current version of the V-Modas have a problem with the cable.

I'm using Sleek's SA6's and FS Atrios, both of which go through my Predator amp, which draws its signal from the D2.
