hi, my pl30 just recently have an accident at the middle of a basketball game sad.gif so im looking for another one to replace now. mylar x3 was my 1st in-ear entry level iem but unfortunately i dont really like em not saying it sounds not that good but im more into warmer and dark sounding phones. after getting pl30 it sounds great too but still i feel similar with x3 with bright sounding. only now i realize ill have to get smtg that suit myself rather than following the flow sweat.gif

my requirements:
1) iem/headphones
2) more bass (as the sound play backed from ipods really lacking of bass, though im not a basshead)
3) sounds alike philips shp2700, senn hd555, senn hd650 (not meaning similar to their performance but like the dark and warm sounding of them rolleyes.gif )
4) avoiding bright sound like senn hd201, PL-30, mylar x3, bose in-ear(sorry im still not very sure how to describe yet)
5) would also like to maybe upgrade to another level? as i've been using entry level phones since 2006(4years), so a valuable upgrade would really be great too.
6) less than rm 300

currently considering pl21
but any other options? thanks alot

Dark eh? In my limited experience I'd say you have these choices:

1) Quattros - Dark and warm, though at the expense of being boomy and lacking in detail, at least below 50hours of burn in. But being the bass lover that you are, I don't think you'd mind. Try with the No.1 Port for the most bass - RM2xx (forgot how much exactly, get from Bro Wala ). Great Isolation if you jam them into your ears deep enough.

2) Music Valley SP1 - Bass heavy, but better balanced then the Quads. While it's my personal favourite (at least right now), it might be a tad too bright for your needs, works wonders with EQ tho. Worse isolation compared to the Quads due to it's strange design - RM180 from bro godluvsxs.

Also (these I do not have personally but I have heard good things about), you might consider:

1) NuForce NE-6 - was the best thing for bass under RM200 since sliced bread, supposedly (RM180 - online from NuForce)

2) Cyclone PR2 - comparable to the FX500, Monster Turbines and IE8 it seems in terms of bass (quality-wise though, dunno about the quantity). I'm actually interested in getting them myself (RM260 or so from a forummer here).

And yeah, I have a thing for dynadriver IEMs, lol.
