rivo looks like a rip off from fiio
pro one looks like a rip off from westone
foam tips look like a rip off from comply

Then i'll go for Westone UM PRO 10? Also around that price.

Then i'll have to spend another SGD30 for foam tips.

==========================================================


I want something warm and bright with a wide soundstage.
I'm fine with over ear and the straight down ones.
IEMs (as over ear headphones are not good for portability)

I mainly listen to Mandopop or Cantopop or Sentimental English songs from the 80s:

Some examples of the songs I usually listen to:






My gear would be:

iPhone 4/Note 2/Note 3 without an amp. All songs are either in .ape/.alac/.flac format. Rarely I need to listen to 320kbps MP3s.

Please advice.

tried H3. The bass sounds awesome for my non-audiophile, rusty ears. It vibrates like full can  rclxms.gif
