I dunno whether it's cheap or not, around Rm400++ Since my parents will be going to UK to visit my bro this 22nd, so I thought can ask them to bring it back to me xD

Judging from the reviews, you should hv bought it coz it seems to be the best IEM of that price. From current economy status wise, you shouldn't buy it tongue.gif

You mean the earbud type that comes with every purchase of iPod? that one not really gd eh actually, however if it's the Apple dual-driver IEM, the reviews aren't very bad.

Just realised....there really isn't any superbass IEMs in your price range....you can either go for cheap IEMs (<RM100) with reasonably strong bass like EP-630 or Soundmagic PL-11. If not, you're already looking at at least RM500 for a set of Atrios, Monster Turbines and X10 (not sure? Supposedly also a bassy IEM)
*
em, actually Klipsch Image X10 is not that cheap xD Unless you get a 2nd hand unit, also not within that price range sweat.gif

but x10 offer more precise bass and the mids isnt recessed like the atrios nod.gif

Interesting, always heard about the strong bass of Atrio m5, however I do read the the atrio's clarity is not that gd, which reminds me of the Creative EP630, strong bass but sound muffled that kind of issue?

CrossRoads MylarOne Quattro wouldn't be a bad choice if the budget is not more than RM300.

You definitely won't be disappointed with the bass as it has 3 selectable bass ports. From port #1 (most bass) to port#3 (less bass).
*
If you like bass, the JBL Reference 220 is kinda gd, do urself a favour and look up this IEM, reviews aren't bad.

if you guys rver tried the shure 530 you WILL know jus how muddy the mids of atrio..
JBL is so cheaply priced here..
the woodies at rm300 and rm350..
cheap? whistling.gif
uncle wala is selling them
*
So are you trying to say the Atrio's mids is muddy or? Yea, the price of JBL is cheap here coz it's OEM/simplified version, the retail price of the IEM is used USD99 which is same as the Shure SE102, yet IMO they perform better than the Shure in term of bass without losing the clarity much.

The Fx500 is kinda pricey, close to Rm500, anyone asks Walabies whether he can get it? Hehe brows.gif

Well i get the feeling that when it reaches here it'll be more than RM500. haha

Btw, are you thru with CrossRoads? What do you think of them Woody?

I feel like i might try them one day. lol
*
You mean hv I tried all the CrossRoads?No I didn't, I've only tried the cheapest model of the CrossRoads products=Mylarone SVi, which is known to hv the highest clarity of the mylarone series, but to me, I feel like the clarity is no match to the one of Shure, and it's lack in bass(can't blame it because I's advertised that the SVi is not for basshead). However, the Bijou and the Woody should be way better than the SVi from the reviews I read, may be I'll pick either the woody/Bijou one day but that day won't be very soon, tarak bullet now doh.gif

i googled around. i see reviews of JBL 220 with perfect fit/seal issue of their earbuds while it is very important to feel the bass by getting a perfect fit. and yea i got a good seal with the eartips. but the bass is just isn't really strong and deep, it is in about 30 hrs of burn in.

and yes, the audio technica ckm50 is way much better in bass (it is deep~~), crisp n sweet highs. the ckm50 should be below rm200, but i doubt whether it fit most ppls ear canal due to its design, but it is definitely perfect fit for me.
*
Yea, no matter what IEMs you're using, a good seal is the utmost important thingy. I basically hv no issue on finding the right ear tips coz it's always the biggest ear tips that fits the most smile.gif Lucky me rclxms.gif However, I do find that when I'm using the JBL Reference 220, I'll hv to push the volume a little bit higher, around 60% of the DAP volume only when it sounds best to me cool.gif

i think two of them have different signature. the JBL 220 is more focus on midrange as compared to m100 which focus on high and low.
i find that JBL 220 is a bit lack of treble and for stronger bass i have to choose the largest earbud that i have and insert it deeply.  however it sounds more natural in the vocal part than the m100. it has a better midrange than m100. the bass isn't strong but is neat and clear.
the m100 has weaker midrange and little bit too much treble compare to JBL. the high-range of m100 is doesnt sound natural, like what...err i dont noe how to describe. maybe too harsh? the bass of is strong but is somewhat a little bit bloated.
*
Yea, I pretty much getting what you mean, how about overall, which one do you think is better? laugh.gif

Sounds pretty much the same with SoundMagic PL20. Not easy to get a good seal with that one imo.
True. I find that some iems you really have to work at it in order to get a good seal. Others may come quite naturally.
*
The JBL Reference 220 didn't gv me much trouble putting it on coz it's worn with the normal style, the Sennheiser IE8 is the one that you'll find hardest to get a gd seal, Sometimes when you're able to get a perfect seal, try to look at a mirror and you'll find that you're wearing it in a very awkward way xD

Hey need helps here..

got any IEM suitable for basshead(song like Akon, Flo rida etc)?

budget below RM 100~

n i want it better than EP630 tongue.gif

Soundmagic PL11, JBL reference 220 or any other suggestions?
*
Yea, I can assure you that the JBL will outperform ur EP630, although the bass is not so strong but it's in control. Mids and highs no doubt the JBl is better than the 630, however, the weakness is that i think it's impedance is quite high so you will need to push the volume higher a bit. around 75% when I'm using it on my iPod touch.

I will put in consideration. thanks
Actually i am not satisfied with that bass and that is the reason I wanna to buy a new one.
pairing with meizu is okay bcos can adjust the bass but pairing with ipod shuffle is like  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*
Hmmm, I realized u're using iPod shuffle 1st gen rite? The iPod family is ady not very gd in term of SQ and yet the shuffle is said to hv the worst SQ of the iPod series. Sry to say this but it's true. Also, the bass while pairing with iPod won't be strong one even with my Sennheiser IE8, because I tried the Sennheiser IE8 on the Sony S series jus now and I did notice a huge increased in the bass.

I have the PL11, JBL 220, and JVC FX33 (Kramer mod) but cannot say that audited them because I am not at that level. I hope to audit them and share the experience in the future. For now, I feel PL11 is not as good as the other two in term of bass (quality, not quantity) and treble but easier to drive with FiiO5. FX33 is selling at Carrefour, Jaya Jusco and of course Amazon etc.

I like the JBL 220 SQ, they're pretty gd for the price.
