New Member Junior Member 5 posts Joined: Dec 2008	Would like to seek advice/recommendation from all the bros. Looking for options to upgrade. - My Rig: IPOD Video + LOD + amp + Eterna v1 + comply TIP - Type of usage: music - File format: 320 kbps mp3 + FLAC - Music genre: Rock (eg Linkin Park, U2), Jazz (eg Paris Match), Soundtrack (eg. Hans Zimmer), Pop (eg Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys), Gothic (eg Depeche Mode, the Cure) - Budget: RM500.00 - Headphone/ earphone type: IEM - Other requirements: (1) deeper bass (i'm a basshead and like to listen to fast bass-guitar rift. Metalica and Linkin Park comes into mind ), better clarity/separation/soundstage; (2) noice isolation is a MUST as i travel by public transport. My current Eterna+Comply Tip can isolate about 70% of noice at relatively low volume setting. Looking for better isolation but without the Comply Tip as the Comply Tip itself is already not cheap and need to be replaced frequently. Wanted to audition at Jaben. But pai-seh if ended don't buy anything from them . So better get as much 1st-hand experience as possible from all the bros. Any advice/recommendation is appreciated. Thanks ya.

Since you're not into trance it is suitable(the fast bass line in trance is the Atrio's weakness)...but RM100 over your budget. However, there's also Audio Technica's CKS-70 "Solid Bass" IEM, well under your budget, but you have to be sure you like the bass. Then there's CK7. Also Fischer Audio's Genesis, even lower priced(although where to audition, I have no idea. maybe refer to WS Tradings). I have a few also in mind but I don't know where to get/audition them. Oooh, almost forgot, the JVC "Twin-system" has arrived at Jaben. It won't be long(will it?) until Jaben Malaysia has them as well. Said to be basshead IEMs as well, and dual-drivers somemore, and also quite affordable. Linkin Park songs aren't really that technical in the bass department. They are sometimes a bit bright and a tad bit messy. If you head over to Jaben, ask them for some more examples, I'm sure they're ready to help. Tks very much for the astute recommendation. Cheers !
