Um...I am looking a new ear-phone(or I should say ear-buds)
my requirements are have details sounds(I prefer a warm sound but a little cold sound is acceptable) and clear treble(without muddy),rich mids and enough(plenty of) bass(I am not a bass-head,if too much bass I may feel a headache)[not too much and not lack of,you know

) also a well soundstage.
I always listen to these gender:
 
Classic
[Instrumental Music(Yo-Yo Ma,Lang Lang...etc.) and Vocal Music(Opera)]
 
Pop
(some are mainly vocal)[Eva Cassidy,Sade...even...Madonna]
 
Jazz
[instrumental(John Coltrane,Mile Davis...) and vocal(Patricia Barber)]
 
 
I am considering these models:
   Dual BA Driver
  • UE 700
  • Creative Aurvana In Ear 2
  • Apple In Ear

    Single BA Driver:
  • Sony XBA-1
  • Westone 1(or UM1)
  • Shure SE315

    Dynamic Driver:
  • Shure SE215
        Sony MDR-EX510
 
Since I have some friend in Hong Kong and they said that those ear-phones are little cheaper in there so I can ask them to help me with.

I have tried all except the Sony EX510 and the Apple IEMS. Basically, for your taste, the Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3(put wrongly as "2" in the post) will do very well. The UE700s are a good choice too, but they are what you call "too little bass" if you're wanting something that isn't lack of it. The SE215s are good, but the lack of highs make them not so good with jazz. Another choice is the SE315s though.

Dear Jeremypsp
I haven't made it wrongly I just want to get In Ear 2 not 3(since over budget)
And how about the soundstage of them?

But SE315 only have one BA driver,I am amazed by your opinion.
And why did you said you wouldn't recommend In Ear 2 to me?



Well, the SE315s do perform really well as a one balanced armature and I would say they are the best of all the single balanced armature you listed. Bass isn't too much nor too little. (it's quite accurate). Reason why I wouldn't recommend the In-Ear 2s is because IEMs like the UE700, SE315, UM1, Westone 1, XBA-1 are all easily better than it. Hope that helps.

The highest value among those IEMs is the In Ear 2 since in the reasonable price with two BA drivers however the lowest is SE315 since its price I can get the UE700

Well,if you are listening to itzhak perlman who is playing the Caprice No.24 of Paganini so you must want to get the accurate sound and plenty of bass,you know
