Hi guys, need some input. Planning to get the Apple IEM at RM359. Never get a change to try it out but i trust the dual BA drivers. Been looking around but couldn't find any decent ones at such price with mic & volume control.

Thought of the Klipsch S4i/S5i but that's around the range of RM450-500, hence ruled out.

Any recommendations at the range of RM200-350 with decent soundstage? Any users of UE Super.Fi 5vi?

there are plenty of choices if u are not looking for those with mic and volume control

if u are looking particularly at soundstage, very limited choice

Many recommended SoundMagic PL50 and IIRC, it cost less than 200 bucks. but the thing is I need something with mic. sad.gif

Take a look a few post above yours I bought one denon with controls and mic for 185. If you got more money there is a higher range model for around 300 plus

I had the Apple In-ear for a couple of years now and had just recently bought the JBL REF225.  Sound wise both are quite similar except for the microphonics, the wind noise generated by wind or the cable rubbing on your clothes.  With the cloth wrapped cable, the JBL manage to really minimise it while on the Apple it is very prominent and irritating.  The JBL ear tips are also of much better quality for both comfort and durability.  The ear tips of the Apple actually teared within the 3rd week of usage!  The microphone pick up on the JBL is also clearer than the Apple.  The only function that is lacking in the JBL is the volume control.  The JBL also comes with a set of ear clips that can be attached and clip on to your ears for sporting purposes.  There is also an adaptor cable for use with your PC / Laptop for VOIP usage.  The JBL is also slightly cheaper.

Not trying to sell the JBL but for that price and package, there is no comparison.  If I have double the budget, would have gone for the AKG K370, that is a totally different animal sound wise!

just back from some shopping and survey around KL.

the JBL REF225 is retailing at RM339 at Mac Studio, LYP while the Apple Original IEM is at RM349. 10 bucks difference. Saw the V-Moda Vibe Duo as well for RM299. not much options at the Machines in Lot10.

Will be checking out the Denon later tomorrow. smile.gif
