Need help finding IEM's
- Thread starter King Matt
- Start date
What type of music do you listen to? Do you want/like heavy bass for rap/rock music?
Is there any chance of you loosing or breaking them? If so consider a much less expensive option. I use JVC Marshmallow headphones when I'm at work or when I'm travelling. They sound pretty fantastic for a $20 set. If you are committed and want the best you can get for around $100...
The Shure 215 or 115's are $99.00 at Musician's Friend. I highly recommend the 215's if accurate IEMs are what you are looking for.

Etymotic mc5 are pretty amazing for $79. Some people don't like the way they stick out of the ear. If that's a problem than the $99 6i.

I use these Etymotic ER6i on my iPod and for the price they perform well.
As Towen stated they do stick out of your ear a little, but I use them when I cycle and at the gym and they are fine. the only reason i would think it might be an issue is if you were wearing them under a snowboard or motorcycle helmet.

These are the newer version, they are cheaper and smaller:

Audeo "perfect bass" for $99... While I haven't heard this particular model, I have the "perfect fit", and am very happy with them. It's my standard commute/travel IEM (paired with a Sansa Clip, so the whole rig is tiny).

A. I didn't realize I talked you into anything (I pointed out that you might not want to restrict yourself but...).
B. I DID point out that it's kind of funny that you waited until we were in the airport to start having this discussion when you had just spent 4 days with all of these guys.

Anything else would have required KingMatt putting down the Xbox controller or one of us fighting Lunden for the other controller.
$75 here... if you want, I can do the head-fi order for you (I'm a member there), and you can pay me back.
