Sony with silicon buds makes 'em bassy. Or it is just Sony?


Do double flange tips make the bass more tighten and not so boomy?

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.

Is Bijou 4 bass better than PL20 in your opinion?

As long as you don't share your IEM with anyone else and clean it from time to time, i think there's nothing to be worried about.

Even CrossRoads Quattro is considered an entry level IEM.

That goes for SoundMagic PL20 as well. I always pair it with E5.

Which makes me think, is there any headphones that is especially for movies?

Or there is no such thing whatsoever 'coz sound is sound regardless of the source either music or movies?

Haha. It’s not that I’m criticizing the way you asked earlier, it’s just that it made me wonder.

Btw, what headphones that have bright sound? So maybe that I can avoid them as I also like to use headphones when watching movies.

Hmm wood is good they say. But is it in the range of RM100-RM200?

Seems very unlikely.

That kinda defeat the purpose of a 'budget' thread doesn't it?

Paca the pro spammer earns respect.

lol you're a badboy yourself

You don't need to burn it in first before listening more? How's the initial sound?

You can get it cheaper from UK?

Nobody seems to be talking about it. =(

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).

At a lower price than JBL Reference 220 i think CrossRoads Woody One/Two is also a good choice for those who prefer warm (bassy) sound signature.

Oops my bad.

I confused them with JVC Victor HP-FX500.

Sorry about that.

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

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.

For my PL20 i usually use the mid-size eartips. But everytime i put it into my ears, i always feel like the right-side didn't give as good of a seal as the left-side.

And no matter how much i try to twist and turn it, i still feel the same. Then i would just give up and leave it as it is and it feels really awkward.

However i don't have any such problem with my other iems tho.
