Got to try the shure se 215.. Do you guys have any other recomended model within that price range?

Superlux HD661

Hi guys,,, got something in my mind. How about I am starting with sony nwz-f805 and shure se 215 as starting point. Is it worth?

Need recommendations on IEM,budget is considerably around RM300

Rig:HTC One,Sansa Clip Zip
Usage:travelling,working out,jogging
File format:MP3,FLAC,M4A
Musical genres: Mostly pop,a lil bit of punk rock,and some RnB too
Other preferences:
-Clarity over bass
-Travelling pouch included

In consideration: Sony XBA-S65, Beyer Dynamic XP3, Sennheiser CX-680 @ CX-685 and Audio Technica CKP300.

Please also recommend me other models within the budget if there's any.Thanks in advance.

you want clarity in that price range it kinda hard TBH.
Go for the XP-3 since it's the best one i heard so far when compared to the rest of the ones within your consideration, but if you're willing to stretch your budget the SE215 would be my most recommended choice.
also if you're using exclusively for working out then go for the CKP200, it's much better at holding itself on your ear then the 300 and it sounds almost similar

Do you have a smartphone?, better off with one then buying a totally new player, especially from sony but if you still want a player then by all means go for the sony or the sansa clip
the SE215 is a VERY good starter, i can say that honestly because i myself started off with it and i'm still using it till now
if you want a better sounding but less durable starter you can go and try out the Hippo Pro one or the Phonak Audio 022

ATH CKM500

Might consider the BD XP3,because based on what i've read that the built is quite durable.Have already seen the Shure SE215,the cable looks so fragile,maybe not suitable for outdoor usage

what't the price for this one?can you provide me a link of anyone selling this?

fragile? feels okay to me... you could also try Hippo ProOne and XBA-1

IMO, dun really like the XP3, cuz all the tips given doesn't fit my ear, all falls off, it sucks but I have tried a thousand times to get it on my ear but it does't stay there

even ordered extra tips from Jaben, didn't work either

So you better try the XP3 first before buying it, or else you'll regret it

Accidentally stepped on my CKS55 when picking up my earphone from the ground, so i need to look for a new earphone to replace it. i really like the sound of CKS55, so any good upgrade for this?
- Your rig (mp3 players, amps, sound card etc) - HTC One S
- What type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc) - Music
- File format used in your source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc) - FLAC
- Genre of music you listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc) - Country
- Headphone/ earphone type (closed, open, circumaural, IEM etc) - IEM
- Other requirements (if any) (mic, volume control, 5.1ch, 7.1ch etc) - Prefer ATH

Currently was eyeing on CKS77x or maybe CKS99...

Wah, SE215 cable fragile, you sure? in my experiences it's one of the most durable in the business

I will look into those 2 models,thanks for the tip...

Ok,thanks for the tip.i will keep that in mind... :

a lot of reviews from headfi denotes that this IEM is heavy base,whereas i'm more of a clarity-head...

How about HiFi RE 400?is it worth considering?a lot of reviews said it's strictly not for bass head,which could only mean that it has superb mid to high range,since HiFi IEM series have always been praised for their exceptional SQ .

i have RE400 and i agree with the coments

Can you comment on the RE-400?Is it bass,neutral or treble strong? how is the response to electronic and synthesized music?

i prefer to call it quite flat, with a tad of clean treble, for your music genre, I'm not so sure, but for modern music and vocal albums, it's good
