In the market for some new Earphones... Recommendations?
I could've swore there used to be a general headphone recommendation thread, but didn't find it. Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations for a new pair of IEMs (IN-EAR, not earbuds). After 6 years, my SMS 50 Cent Street earphones are barely holding together at the connector, and electrical tape isn't helping. And unfortunately, these are no longer manufactured (the only thing I see on Amazon are $10 fakes) I'm looking for something that is similar in shape to my current pair (see linked picture) (Basically, I mean a pair that is fairly cylindrical and go straight in; not the oval-shaped type that go in at a weird angle) Budget: up to $120 USD, $150 at most. Specs: -3.5mm connector -Round/dome silicon tip earpieces -Cord MUST be sturdy and long-lasting. Flat-wire or braided-wire would be preferred -Volume controller/mic is preferred -Please, NO "around-ear" pieces, nor the pieces that fit into your outer cartilage. -Needs to have a good bass response, but overall balanced audio -A little noise isolation would be a bonus. |

I had the 1More Triple Driver Buds gifted to me last month and I can vouch for its excellent sound quality relative to the price tag. According to Amazon, they're around $100 USD.

http://a.co/0dAqqVw These are the ones I use at my computer. Pretty great value. Unfortunately they are those "around ear" kind of headphones but its not that bad IMO. |

Earphone: https://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-No.../dp/B005HP3OB0 Tips: https://www.amazon.com/Comply-Cancel..._&dpSrc=detail Total: $45 Once you find the tip you want, you can just buy that one next time. I have this combo and the sound is really good. The only con is that the earphone doesn't have a volume controller or mic. There is a version with a volume controller but not sure if it has a mic. |
