I posted another thread here a few days ago, and after reading that and a bunch of IEM reviews, I have decided to get the Soundmagic PL30 as my FIRST EARPHONE after my stock phones (from nokia xpressmusic ones ) I live in Sri Lanka and here I could only find the senn cx300 for a whopping $100...

So looking around head-fi I've put together this small list of IEMs between $25-$50:   Head Direct RE2 MEElectronics M9 Brainwavz M2 Soundmagic Pl30 Maximo iM-490S NuForce NE-6   My budget is pretty tight so I can't go much over $50. Which of these headphones would have the best...

Hello, My son has a 2 gig 1st gen ipod nano. He loves music like I do. I just ordered a pair of sound magic PL-30 iem's from ALO. I want to finish the rig with an amp that will provide the best bang for the buck. This is obviously going to be a budget rig. I've looked at Skylab's round up and...

I finally received these today after about 13 to 15 days waiting. They came from Hong Kong so I knew it would be a while before I received them from the eBayer. First off, these are immensely comfortable! Good grief they feel so comfortable. Initial sound quality impressions are incredibly...

Hey everyone,    I've been on this website for a while, just enver really posted anything so i decided it was time :P.   I'm looking for something in the In-Ear headphone area of around $50. I'm also looking at the RE0 and RE1 from HeadDirect.    If anyone could find me a better bang...

Hi, I own a pair of Koss SortaPro and wanted to buy some IEM's for greater portability and noise isolation. I own a Sansa Clip+, listen mostly to pop, rock music and variations, full of details and instruments, like Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd, Alan Parson, Led Zeppelin, Police, Dave Matthews Band...

Everyone knows the PL30 headphones are an amazing set of in-ear earphones (i also own a set that i bought 9 months ago), so i thought i'd buy another last week for a friend as a birthday present and it was a new one, with Silver packaging! As far as i can see, the headphones and contents are the...

Hey everyone, I recently ordered some Ultimate Ears (Logitech?) 700s and was wondering what I can expect from them, as I've only seen one review of them (pitting them against the QJays). What is the sound signature like? I'm upgrading from Soundmagic PL30's so I assume that everything will...

Hello there! I am considering picking up a pair of Soundmagic IEMs, but I am wondering how they would compare. My first consideration was the PL30, and it still is heavily. The thing is, my friend is selling a pair of Sennheiser IE7 phones, and considering maybe bumping up my budget a bit...

My superfi 4's broke(36$ at Best Buy) anyways.... I need a good replacement. 25$ but i will go up a little. I'm looking for good bass but not overpowering. I've been thinking about marshmallows(kramer mod) and air cushions.

Hi,   Just finished looking at this excellent thread comparing IEMs  http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478568/multi-iem-review-100-iems-compared-westone-um3x-turbine-pro-copper-added-08-18.   Being new to quality IEMs I have a question. I have been fortunate to have been in the...

Happen to be at the beach this week, and after all the fussing and feuding over IEMs, players, etc., hereabouts, it still shocks me how fantastic a 2GB Clip+ (16GB card added) and the Cyclone PR1 Pros sound enjoying the sun and surf. No amps, no $300 IEMs, no silly high end cables. The total...

Well I want to upgrade my JVC FX-33's. I went to Newegg and saw that both the JVC FX-66's and the JVC FXC50's are on sale. So, I'm wondering which is a better IEM. Newegg.com - JVC HA-FX66B 3.5mm Gold-Plated Connector Canal Black Air-Cushion Headphone Newegg.com - JVC HA-FXC50-R 3.5mm...

Hello, I'm looking for my second pair of IEM as I lost my well-loved-yet-far-from-perfection Zen Aurvana. I'm from Canada but can proxy them from the USA until the end of august, so I think now is the time to buy. I've read the multiple-iem review post, but still wanted to see if anyone had...

Even though many of you guys have very high-end IEM's, Which ones do you use daily and why?

Hello everyone, this is my first post at Head fi and I'm a noob at IEMs, so hopefully I can get some answers here   Right now I have a pair of Soundmagic PL-30, and am looking for an upgrade   I mostly use it to listen to music on my phone, mostly pop/rock   My budget is somewhere...

HI All   I write this after trying a few options. I am a great fan of music .. i.e Heavy metal and the kind. I listen to files coded at 320Kbps or flac files.   I have tried the Soundmagic Pl30 i found it just OK.. I want something really really cool. I din find the mids too good in the...

What do you guys think would be the best purchase (if that is even possible to determine): - AKG K324P - Sony EX82 - Sony EX85 - Sound Magic PL12 - Sound Magic PL30 Considering the low price of these IE...it shouldn't even be considered...so what is the best only considering sound...

Soundmagic PL-30     Driver: 9 mm Dynamic Nozzle:  5.5 mm Impedance: 12 ohms Sensitivity:  102 dB Plug:  straight Cord:  1 m Y   Miscellaneous: They are exceptionally comfortable and light; when I wear them I sometimes forget they are in my ears. The quantity of...

I grabbed a pair of these off ebay. I was curious after I saw them and I also thought the adjustable bass might be good for my AM/FM minidisc since the radio portion has no bass adjustment and my JVC's have a bit too much boom for my taste. After a bit of searching on Soundmagic and decided to...

What up and hello,   If you guys are nerds like me, and I hope you are, you take your music seriously...even in the gym.    I was curious to see what rigs people are rocking in the gym, so like the title says lets see what you guys are wearing when you are getting the "cuts"...

not much very easy to pop open, they sound much the same with the bass screw and attached bit of plastic removed, the hole is covered insid with a bit of foam, which looks ok, and is even thinner now for head sideways on pillow. pic also shows the shell was crushing the cable.
