Which one Super Fi 5 vs Denon C751

[andre56]

Hi all,
As you may have seen in my previous posts I'm looking for new IEM's. I have managed to narrow down my choices to the UE SuperFI 5 Pro for £50 and the Denon C751 for £40. I just don't know which one to go for, I am completely in the middle. What comparisons do you have that may sway my decision? Mainly which has a warmer more enjoyable sound and which has better bass. I like a sufficient amount of bass but I like it to be impacting and accurate not muddy. I want full body warm mids and also clear but soft highs. Which would you say fits my needs more. Because at the moment I really don't know.

Thanks

Any Comments?

not heard the 5 but i doubt either has full bodied warm mids or soft highs, both are known for being V shaped. v cheap price for them both though

Thanks for the post. I would be getting them off ebay hence the cheap prices. What would you say would suit my needs. Not anything too expensive though like the se530's or the triple fi's. I can get the sennheiser ie8's for £100. They sound perfect but it's a bit more than I wanted to spend.

Be careful, for that price, they could be fakes (concerning IE8).

I haven't heard on the radiopaq jazz. You think they would be good for me? I know its a typical view but their very cheap, £30 from retail stores, do they actually have good sound quality?

 

[mark2410]

they arent quite as good as the c751 or probably the sf5pro but its much more like the sound you said you were after. they are bargains for the £30 they cost.

Oh I see. And what about the image x5's. I really like the look of them. Comfortable, nice bass.

I would like the SA6's. Where did you find them for $150. I'm in UK so they would have to ship them here though. The IE7's I could probably afford. I don't know why I didn't consider them before, I have heard they're good.

+1 on the SA6. Great IEMs.

 

[andre56]

I am tempted to go for the SA6's but they are still too much for me. I really didn't want to spend over £70. However I don't mean IEM's that retail for that much. I would get them on ebay and I always manage to find really good deals on ebay like IE8's for £100, but I still didn't want to spend over £100.

I'll second the fake IE8 warning. There have been lots of them.

It was bid that I won. I think they were genuine.
