Not sure if there are JVC resellers in KL. But StereoSingapore is having a promo on them:

Personally, though, I'd suggest something a little more refined. Namely, JVC's newer offerings, the HA-SZ1000/2000.

But... That's not an IEM.... If you want a budget JVC IEM then try the HA-F40, unbelievably good for their price.

Ah, then either the FX1X or FX101. Based on your musical preference

The FX1X is warmer, with a little more punch in it's bass, but the FX101 conveys highs and mids better.

StereoSingapore has them @ SGD69 and SGD49 respectively, which is RM170+ for FX1X and RM120+ for F101.

If you want IEMs with relatively neutral sound with enhance bass try:

GR07 : Fidelio S1/S2 : GR07 BE

Bass increment in that order.

If most of you library is ALAC then stay with Apple products, if not, then C3, SQ is better from it.

If you can, try auditioning a pair of KEF M200(Dual Dynamic IEMs) or M500(Circumaural Headphones) both are amazing, with a large soundstage and a well-rounded neutral signature(But not lacking in any part of the spectrum). Only problem is there have been some who said that the M200 have rather large tips, making fit an issue. Which is why I suggested auditioning them 1st. Both would cost less than your budget, btw.

Try looking at IEMs with built-in mics if you don't have much space. Compact, works well, and it's easier to keep than full-sized headphones.

Of course your head has space I mean IEMs are small and easy to put away, so it won't clutter up your desktop.

There are plenty of good hands free mics, also, even if you buy a gaming headphone, there's no guarantee that the mic won't suck.

The Turbine has a slightly V-shaped sound along with some bloated bass. The H-100 would be pretty similar, but bass is obviously not going to hit as hard.

Heaven IV sounds nothing like the Turbines. The Heaven are neutral, if anything. Huge soundstage and good imaging. Lows are tight, with a good amount of rumble, but not bloated, and works well with the rest of them spectrum. Mids are slightly dark, but colored just right, good details on vocals and well represented dynamics. Treble extends well, forwrd and aggressive, but lacks sparkle(which is why I didn't get it), slight peak at certain high sibilance moments but they work well with the overall sound of the Heaven IV.

The Heaven IV, hands down. I like my bass, but the Turbines are just too muddy in the mid-bass area that it basically muffles anything around it. The Heaven IV might be neutral but I assur you they do not sound boring or hollow. They are exciting in their own way.

But don't take my word for it. Try A/B them at Jaben along with your Turbines. Keep an open mind and you'll see what I mean. Music that benefit from good soundstage recommended, like a well recorded rock song, or classical.

Try the NuForce NE-700M. Reviews are very promising and there's a meet for demo-ing next week. I do suggest people to try the gear before buying, especially those new to IEMs and don't know what they are looking for in a pair.

X1 is open. And not foldable so it isn't exactly portable.

I'd suggest V-moda M-100, JVC SZ2000 or Onkyo ES-HF300. KEF M500 is also a possible choice, but it's more of a earpad type, google it to see what I mean.

Wouldn't recommend it. Complys lose their sponginess if exposed to too much water, same goes for Shure Olives. I'd suggest buying spares if you're afraid they get too dirty. GS and even E1 are selling them,

Garage Sale, sub-forum here in LYN. E1-AKG, a fellow forumer(he posts in this thread regularly)

Budget? If it's good strings, then mids and decent soundstage is what you're looking for. Budge IEMs would be the Onkyos IE-HF300, KEF M200 or Fidelio S1/2.

You mean the Custom One Pro? If so, then Jaben sells them.

Genre? Also, emphasis on which part for details, vocals, strings, a little info goes a long way.

@Bombgen yeah, but for local warranty and such, it's that standard price. Unless you're willing to buy it 2nd hand, in which case you can try the Garage Sale forum

HE-400, or if you don't mind importing, Fidelio X1. Both are excellent all-rounders

That's quite subjective but if it's purely instrument reproduction and soundstage I find the He-400 to edge in front of the 880s with better imaging. Haven't A/B the X1 directly to the 880 but by first impressions alone(both burnt-in units), I enjoyed the X1s much more than the 880s

Hmm... Xiaomi Pistons. Mic, durable and around that price. Also pretty decent audio.
