Luc401

Hello forum

I am in need of a new pair of ear buds.I was previously looking at the Razer hammer heads, but now want to know what you guys would recommend.

I know the shure se215 are really good but don't know if I want to dish that much cash out.

Thanks luc401

These are really nice, and if you want more noise isolation. You can buy some foam eartips. http://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-Isolating-In-Ear-Earphones-BlackGunmetal/dp/B005HP3OB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413125094&sr=8-1&keywords=soundmagic+e10

Were you maybe looking at the e10m on amazon.ca? those ones have a mic. The regular ones are 45 on amazon.ca. Still well worth it in my opinion.

You can pick up a set of three comply foam tips at bestbuy/futureshop for 10. Cheapest i could find for canada. They are not needed but i prefer them over the silicon tips.

Etymotic kids safe listening IEMs are a good bet. Etymotic is pretty well recognized as the leader of passive noise isolation in IEMs while still delivering an extremely balanced and neutral sound without over emphasis on highs, mids, or lows. Because they're cheaper they obviously won't be quite as good as their $200+ counterparts, but they are still held to Etymotic's rigorous testing and standards with extreme noise isolation and sturdy construction. 

 

It's worth noting that while their sound signature is extremely balanced and neutral, some people complain that it is too flat and lacks life or warmth. If you like a lot of bass or don't care about an extremely accurate sound they might be a little disappointing. Accuracy isn't always synonymous with good, and a lot of people prefer a warmer, more pleasurable listening experience even if its not quite how it was originally recorded. Ultimately let your personal preferences guide you.

If you want a little more bass the RHA MA350s are pretty highly recommended in the entry level IEM market for something with extremely sturdy construction and an impactful bass.
