Unfortunately the stock foam tips seem Hi! Thanks, I wanted to be precise with my request. The foam tips were actually the first ones I tried but I couldn't get a good seal. They would slip out if I moved my jaw or lay down (on the bench in the gym e.g.). The medium "egg shaped" tips seem like...

TL;DR Truthear Hexas have nice detail but are a bit light and airy. What's a <£200 alternative with the same level of detail but a fuller overall sound? Hi, I've been happily using Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 in-ears for a good few years but they're reaching the end of their life and I'm looking to...

My set up is Laptop > Arcam rDAC > Marantz PM6004 > Monitor Audio BX2 speakers   he issue is that audio is noticeably louder on the right hand side, the left side makes sudden changes in volume every now and then, there's occasional crackling through the left as well and it cuts out on that...

Quote: They actually seem to have gone down in price in england, I'm probably going to get them soon    

Quote: Bass is appreciated but not a ridiculous amount, the M50 bass range is good I assume.  

  Quote: So, still worth it then?    

Title for reference   I want to get them but I was just wondering, have any better headphones been made in that price range after three years of it having been out?

Eeeh, it's just that the thing is I'm not sure if I'll be able to return them if I take them out of the packaging.   I'll probably test them anyway

Bump?

I currently use sennheiser CX500 IEMs but I recently ordered a Cowon J3 and they came with a set of MEElectronics M9s.   I had a look and they cost about the same.   What I want to know is it worth using the M9s over the CX500s?

Quote: I'll just wait for them to arrive and see if they're good, if not I'll send 'em back  

Quote: I may as well try it, if they aren't good I can just send them back

Quote: I've had a look into it and they seem to be a respected distributor  

Quote: They don't come with them for free exactly, you pay $14 and a random one is shipped. Although you can send them back and get your money returned.   It's a deal on amp3.com    

Quote: I'm not actually buying them they just come with the cowon, I was just wondering if it's worth using them over my Sennheisers.   I actually have my eyes on a pair of Audio-Technica ATH M50s as my next actual upgrade, also I know this isn't really the right place to ask but how...

Bump   Does anyone know who they are?

I'm buying a Cowon J3 and there's a deal with it where you get a random set of earphones (out of 6) from MEElectronics and I was wondering how good they all were because I have never heard of the manufacturer.   The six you can get are:   MEElectronics M2P   MEElectronics M9  ...

Quote: Hmm, I've had a look around and they seem to be A-OK sound-wise.   However they look pretty chunky, are there any smaller closed-backs with decent isolation in the range of £60-90? (that's roughly $100-140)

Quote: How are they sound-wise?

Okay my post seems to have gone unnoticed so here it is again   Quote:  

Okay, I've been asking around a bit for my first pair of proper headphones, my price range being £60-90 (about $90-130 I think)   I had my eye on the grado sr60i but I then found that open backed were not the right choice for my intended usage of the phones (Home with other people, on the...

Quote: Yeah, I've had an ask around on various sites and it seems that closed phones are the choice for me    

Yeah I know but £60 pretty low in my price range and the handling fees shouldn't be too much on top of that

Quote: I'm actually looking at the Alessandro MS1i's which are modded sr60i's and they cost $100 with free shipping which equals about £60

Well I've just been using a lawnmower with my in ear headphones (which don't exactly block a lot of noise) and I didn't mind the sound of the engine too much. I pretty much just mentally blocked it out.   Do the Grados let in a HUGE amount of noise when playing? Because if not then it isn't...
