QUOTE(ATI.Bob @ Feb 4 2007, 02:41 PM) I wonder does in-ear/canalphones perform as they supposed to be? I'm thinking of getting a pair of budget in-ear/canalphones for my travelling use.. Bump...? Currently using the earphones (I suppose it's EP-480, but in white) supplied with my Creative V200 which sounded good enough (abit less bass to my taste) in quiet environment, but totally useless while I'm on a bus unless I crank up the volume.. So I'm looking for advise on getting a pair of decently priced and sounding that blocks out environmental noise so I can listen to my music at a much lower volume.. Anyone care to comment? |

From the review, they say the OVC needs to be amped to bring out its full potential.. I don't have the intention to bring along a headamp since I carry a lot of luggage with me..
Can't seem to find anyone still bulking it in the trade zone either.. how about iM716? still require headamps? How to look for technical specification for mp3 players anyway? Want to find out what's the output specs for my Creative V200... |

A few days can, pay me the cash as deposit la
Listening mainly to hiphop, techno and dance? I'd say dont bother wasting a few hundred on earphones then, i doubt a better sound quality would bring u more satisfaction Getting a better player or something would make u happier |

I'd say dont bother wasting a few hundred on earphones then, i doubt a better sound quality would bring u more satisfaction Getting a better player or something would make u happier maybe outta my budget already.. so willing to try getting IEMs first.. I don't always listen to those specific genres la.. but I'd prefer something that is softer/warmer sounding rather than in-your-face kind of sound.. BTW, does IEM's really capable of blocking out external sounds? Eyeing on getting a pair of OVA TC20's.. since it's the cheapest *sic* IEM's that I can found anyway.. Gonna run it unamped though..

Either that or just save yourself the extra cash and do something else with it
IMO at least, those genre wont gain much at all with better earphones. Of course a decent one would be good, along the 100+ range |

QUOTE(KilJim @ Feb 6 2007, 01:00 AM) Either that or just save yourself the extra cash and do something else with it Well.. my main purpose of getting an IEM is most probably to block out external sounds (or so they claim to be) so that I can listen at a much lower volume when I'm on a bus.. IMO at least, those genre wont gain much at all with better earphones. Of course a decent one would be good, along the 100+ range Maybe I'll upgrade to a better player next time when I've got more moolah.. So.. does IEM's really block out external sounds anyway..? How would OVA TC20 users describe the sound anyway..? |

Oh, all u want is isolation?
Then as i've said, a decent one which doesnt cost that much would be able to do the job Yes it does, cheaper ones not as good as the Etymotics etc, but they still make quite a big difference |
