I'm new here, and I was just wondering which of these two would be a better buy at around 65$, a Soundmagic PL50, an Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 or an Ultimate Ears Metro.Fi 200? Thanks.

 
*edit*
That is PL50, not PL30. Typographical error, sorry.
The PL50 and Metro.Fi 200 are brand new, while the Super.Fi 3 is a used pair that a friend of mine is selling for 60$.

$65? The PL30 are in a different price range than that. They go for ~$20-30 or so depending on if you buy it from US at a premium or hong kong.

It's priced at 60-65$ here in the Philippines.
The Super.Fi3 is a used one while the Metro.Fi 200 and the PL50 are sold brandnew.

I didn't notice your country but $65 is a pretty ridiculous price. I would look at focalprice.com and look at the PL30 since they got for $20 or so. At $65 I would not buy the PL30. Actually I wouldn't even go near them for that price.

It's also the PL50, not the PL30.
 
Anyway, having not heard the PL50 I would say the MF200 is the best of those. And by the way... I am the one selling the SF3 for those of you who don't know.

Depends on what you're after. I would pick the PL50 easily over the MetroFi and SF3. The UEs are just garbage and the SF3 are not my thing.

Haha, bro erwin saw my post? O.o
 
By the way, the genre that I prefer would be rock, indie, some jazz and electronica if someone would ask..

Just happened to be on HeadFi today doing research.
 
Let's let the rest of headfi chime in as I've already told you my stance on the MFs and the SFs.

I typed PL30 earlier and edited it after I noticed it.

A lot of talk about Fischer Audio at the moment, you might want to consider the Eterna (if you can find them) and the Silver Bullet. Also the RE0 is really well liked, may want to consider those as well if you can spend about $80.

Hmm, I think there are no distributors of Fischer Audio IEMs here, so I'll have to import if I do get them, Thanks for the links
