Hi,

I tested a few IEM's recently, and FAD Heaven II and Shure SE215 attracted me the most audio wise. Any other similar earphones at this price range? What are your thoughts on these two IEM's.

Thanks :-)

What are you thoughts regarding Superlux HD381F vs Xiaomi Pistons? Thinking of buying my GF a present, she's complaining about her stock HTC earphones.

I listen mainly to Spotify, extreme quality and with a wide range of songs ( classic rock, new age, R&B, chillstep, orchestra).

Would like to hear your opinions on the following IEM's my budget is 200-300. Thinking of GR07/GR06 or IM50. Thoughts on their suitability? Or any other options in this price range.

Uh, isn't the DUNU DN900 around 450? Way out of budget. blink.gif

I'm pretty damn new myself. But one thing I do know is that I dislike high treble, the high notes that will pierce your eye tongue.gif

And I like emphasis on mid range and slightly on bass so that it sounds more lively biggrin.gif That's why I went with the warm signature, I purchased the Yamaha EPH-100 which is in shipment to my place already. Can't wait!!

Here's a good guide: http://theheadphonelist.com/earphone-buyers-guide/

You can take a look at the vast reviews he makes for so many IEMs: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-...-08-21-14-p-958

Feel free to ask him as he's quite helpful smile.gif

For the price, I would say Superlux. But for the music genre that you listen to, probably hd681 evo is more suitable. More bassy and warmer, but it's not close back.
For close back, can try Superlux HD669, slightly over your budget can consider HD631 DJ
Not sure if I got it right. If you like emphasis on mid range, warm sound, less treble, slightly on bass, you can also try out IEM with typical England sound like HiFiMan RE400 or RHA MA750i if got chance. They are smooth, fuller mids, and musical.  smile.gif
I personally haven't auditioned EPH100 though.
Understand where you are coming from. But I guess what you need, is not only a bassy warm tone IEM, you need also an IEM with good quality of bass that clearly present the details of the lower mids and bass. can give KC06A a try though.
Haven't auditioned IM50 before.
can check out my short review about KC06A and GR07 classic.

Thanks for the reply. I think I can narrow it down to between Ostry KC06A and GR07 Classic in my budget range after reading the reviews over at head-fi.
