Do make sure you get them from a trusted reseller like Penonaudio.com. Lots of copies and fakes an eBay.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried. Unfortunately, I don't have paypal. sad.gif
I'm thinking of getting from an amazon seller called zhengnan.

Penon also accepts credit cards Iirc. If the seller has good feedback then should be alright to buy from him.

Well for some reason, it shows the only option for me is paypal. I think I'll just go for the amazon seller. sweat.gif

As long as the seller covers international shipping. Reason why I recommend penon is that they have free shipping (7-10 days) instead of having to go through forwarding services

Philips Fidelio X1 how is the noise isolation?
*
Open back. So quite bad, wouldn't recommend if it you have roommates or just don't want those around you to hear what you're listening too.

But the SQ of the X1s are superb.

Guys,is Yamaha eph 100 worth buying? Im using it for my phone
Mp3 320kbps
Use during commute in train. Need portability and good noise isolation.
My budget would be 400 below maybe can raise abit if there is any better iem. 
Thanks in advance guys  rclxms.gif

Fostex TE-05. Fast precise bass, clear mids and very clean reach in treble.

Isolation is also pretty good.

Does it have the so called "3d" effect like the yamaha? I havent tried out thats y im asking for input,btw thx for the recommandation gonna look into it now =)  smile.gif
*
Not sure about "3D effect " but I'm assuming you mean imaging and soundstage. If so then yes, from my memory they do very well in that.

They also look very cool. I love that clean-cut look

Yes, im talking about the soundstage, how about tremble on those yammy XD ? I heard they have good instrument seperation and good clarity.

It's been quite sometime since I heard the eph-100, but from memory they didn't wow me when I had them.

Separation and clarity, the Fostex clearly wins. By quite a large margin.

Dang..my budget is so limited..but both of that was amazing :S And most IEM i see ppl recommanding is usually from JP idk y  smile.gif

If you're looking for something lower then the TE-05 then try the Zero Audio Doppios.

And it's because they know how to do sound right(mostly) Sony, JVC, Phillips, Audio Technica all are very good at what they do.

Comfort problems are the usual thing with on ears, especially those with rather sensitive ears will have a hard time with them.

Iems should be a much better fit for you.

Rowan, have you actually purchased from penon before? I'm thinking of getting IEM from them... Hows your experience?
*
I bought both the B3 Pro and Kc06 from them. Very good customer service, fast response and very friendly. Don't be afraid to ask for a recommendation from them.

Soundstage is the feel of dimension you get when you're listening to music. Some softwares might say they can enlarge it, but most of the time it's a bad implementation and could cause you to lose certain details of the recording itself.

E1 is very friendly. Don't be afraid to drop by just to try out the headphones you want, you might even find something you like besides the M50x.... A pair of IEMs for example, or even the Ditas. XD

Actually, active noise cancelling does not work that way  sweat.gif

It only removes constant noise like an air-con hum and not accidental scream of a child streaking by you  sweat.gif
*
^This. Noise cancelling only works on background chatter and ambient sounds, otherwise it'd be called sound-cancelling.
