If I can ONLY afford to choose 1 phone from either pl11 or pl20 (due to budget). I will go for pl11, because pl11 is able to play all types of music and voice while pl20 is not suitable to play music with base.

I think the PL20 is for people who prefer good clarity and treble. As CLF had pointed out before and I experienced it myself, the bass for PL20 is not disappointing at all. And it’ll improve with burn-in.
Probably the amount of bass in PL20 will not be enough for those who prefers more bass in their music. But as for me, it is already sufficient even when playing bass music.

Yes, got your point... pl20 clearly wins in clarity, treble and pl11 win in bass, but pl11 clarity and treble is not bad either so it depends on what type of sound you listen to... i own both of them and just using pl11 more often... listening to music, podcast and audiobooks. Maybe more burning will make a different to them...

Anyone tried it? not sure about PL11's signature (you can refer to the others who're discussing it here), but my bet is Bijou is the best SQ IEM in the list. I prefer Bijou4's clarity than PL20's, and bass-wise I prefer Bijou4's. EP-630, clarity and mid losses to PL20. LEAR LE01, is a nice ~RM 100 IEM but so far didn't heard about it as the bulk has closed.

yes I find Bijou4's bass better than PL20's.
used "Drink Up Me Hearties" from Pirates of Caribbean 3 OST, 320kbps to test the 2 earphones. this song only sounded nice if the bass is good enough. PL20 is no match compared to Bijou4.
added in an E5 amp might change the story though, that's when the PL20's bass shows itself, but still not as good as Bijou.
anyway, PL20 does quite well in treble with vocals, i would say slightly worse than Bijou but given the price it's quite good for it.

Hi all, please recommend an EARPHONE/IEM for around RM50-RM100. Emphasize more on clarity rather than bass. Will mostly use it for movies and some gaming. Suitable enough for some easy listening and yet not too bad for some rock music.

Guys, What's the best headphone that can be purchased around 1k. Headphone mainly for musics and some movies, more to clarity with sufficient amount of bass will do

Thanks for the fast response! If it was a choice between SoundMagic PL-20, KSC75 and Sennheiser HD201, how would you rate it? All of these fit into the budget
