Em, mind telling us what's ur budget first? Basshead?

Yup the Bijou can be one of ur choice but I've nvr really hear it before. My recommendation would be Shure SCL2/SE102 if you're looking for clarity(clear and sharp sound signature) with kinda weak bass IMO, or the JBL Reference for balance in term of clarity and bass.

Yea, the JBL Reference 220, I dunno where you can buy it from here in M'sia, I got mine from LYN forumer in Garage sale, it's an OEM version yet it's pretty gd. May be you can try PM the seller Lipfvng see whether he still can bring a few set for sale or not xD

For Shure, I suggest you get it from Garage Sale as well, coz it's pretty much cheaper than the selling price at those shops. Ban Leong does carry Shure products, even shops like Machine or Mac Studio or All-IT do sell them.

That's why I said don't get from those shops, read man. Those available in the Garage sale, I think the price is quite justified. Furthermore, the design of Shure are pretty gd IMO

Are you using the headphone/earphone with ur mp3 player or wut?

I see, if you're going to use it with Mp3 player, I think you should get an IEM instead bcoz normally a headphone will need proper amping in order to max out its performance, and that'll make it kinda bulky to bring around and you'll hv to invest quite a lot of money to get the best SQ out of it xD

Lol, better don't wear the headphone for so long man, bad for ears xD I don't think you'll be able to sleep while wearing the headphone either, coz ur ears will be stuffy.

1) Sennheiser IE8~ Rm1300-1600
2) Klipsch Image X10~ Rm800-1000.

I personally recommend the IE8 coz they're very nice, pretty balance in everything I would say, and so far the best IEM I've heard xD

Yea, quite a decent IEM, gd clarity, just that the bass can't satisfy me Which Audio Tech are you referring to?

Yea, the Shure 102 is a little bit bulky but the design is gd, the shape of the IEM fits just nice in the ear.

Here's the IEM that falls within the price range

RM1-RM100: Creative EP630(50), SoundMagic, Koss KC 75(clip-type), Yuin PK3,2
RM100-RM200 : Music valley SP1, CrossRoads Mylarone X3i , CrossRoads Bijou(180++) , Sennheiser CX300, Creative EP-830, Vsonic R02Pro , Shure SCl2(SE102) , UE Metro Fi , LEAR Le01
RM200-RM400: Klipsch Custom-1,CrossRoads Quattro(269), Monster Turbines(below 400), Sennheiser CX500, Altec Lansing IM716, Head-Direct RE0
Above RM400-Rm800: Atrio M5, Phonak audeo PFE, Westone UM1, Klipsch Custom-2, Etymotic Research ER4, Head-Direct’s RE1, Klipsch Custom-3,

Basically I think the Klipsch Custom-3, Phonak Audeo PFE, and Future Sonic Atrio are the IEM that you should consider.

The Grado RS1 vs the Audio Technica ATH-W10VTG, which one better eh xD Which one can be used directly with iPod/iPhone without amp ?

Anyone here us going to grab the UE700?

Haha, play.com xD

Honestly it's pretty hard to find those IEM within ur price range that's recommended by LYN members here, coz I don't think they hv these Music Alley SP1 or Sound Magic PL50 there xD However, you can try this Sennheiser CX500, it's selling at £15.99 with free delivery some more at play.com. It's pretty cheap as the normal price is around RM500++ which is around £100.

Yes, that's the selling price in M'sia, but it's now selling at 16pounds only ~RM100 only xD Don't be surprised by Rm500, some ppl pay over 4k for custom made IEM Headphone wise I can help you on that coz I'm more into IEM

Shure are not for bass freak that's for sure, they excel in term of clarity, however, you can improve the bass with amp, and they do fit pretty well in my ears that's all I can tell you xD

If you want bass, the CX500 should suit you quite well since the CX300 is known to hv bloated bass, thus I expect the same goes to this upgrade version of CX500 to hv the same as its predecessor xD

Oo, Possible to save a little bit more say to ~RM500 xD, coz better mid range IEM is within that range, such as the Phonak Audeo PFE, Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 and Future Sonic M5/8.

Haha, I don't recall any gd Shure products that's around Rm400, try to do some research about the IEM above, some of them are way better than Shure at the same price, it's just that it's hardly seen in M'sia that's why few ppl aware of their existence xD
