I don't know how you guys can distinguish an IEM that someone has without being creepy. Is this an acquired head-fi skill? O_O

Ok, so now I'm looking at the Vsonic Gr02 and the Brainwavz M2, does the m2 justify it's higher price? How long on average will they work before being broken?

Hey guys what's your opinion on the dunu tridents? My main concern is durability and decent sound quality. They seem to fit the bill. Are there any better sounding alternatives with the same or better build quality below $100?

Hey guys, looking for iems that are durable and won't break after a month. I'd prefer it to be warmish and have good bass impact. Under 100$ is preferable. thanks in advance!

Yeah, I agree the xb500s can convert many to the "light-side". The pity was for the beats owners who realized they wasted all that money on a necklace.

I've seen a guy walk around with one of those Sony xb500s, and he's blowing the minds of all these beats owners. Not sure if I should be happy or if I should feel pity...

In my high school here, I have seen a Skullcandy aviator, some Audio-Technicas M50s, a few ksc75s and your usual Beats/iBuds/random IEMs. The aviators sound surprisingly good. o_O might have to buy some...

I I take it they're harsh? I'm using it on a portable if that makes a difference. edit: maybe forgiving is the wrong word. Will the sr60is make me want to cut off my ears rather than listen to low bit rate mp3s? (interpret that any way you will)

Hey everyone! Looking to buy the SR60is or SR80is and was just wondering how these headphones sound when playing mp3s that have a lower bit rate. Are they harsh or forgiving?

Thanks! It sounds like I'll be looking into the igrado. Tell me how burn in affects the sound. Oh and I've heard that the mids are fantastic on the other grados, how is it on the igrado?

Yeah, I've been curious about the igrados, but it seems like not many head-fiers picked one up.

I am also looking to get the grados. Love the sound I heard, but I'm wondering how forgiving they are in terms of low quality mp3s?
