Posted November 1, 2014 My situation: > wears glasses > never tried earphones that should be worn with the cable around the ear I understand the fit and comfort of the actual IEMs are different for everyone so I'm just asking, for anyone who has experienced it, if the cable around the ear is really a pain with glasses or not / does it get caught in it often, etc. I'm currently looking at the Havi B3 Pro I and the Vsonic VSD3S. If you have any input on those or suggestions ( < 100$ ), by all means Thanks CPU: Intel i7-4770k MOBO: Asus Maximus VI Formula RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX 2x8GB 1600Mhz GPU: Asus GTX 780 DCuII CASE: Phanteks Enthoo Primo STORAGE: ADATA SX900 256GB / WD Caviar Blue 1TB PSU: Corsair AX760 760W MONITOR: Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM KEYBOARD: Ducky Shine 3 MOUSE: Logitech G602 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/106614-project-insert-name-enthoo-primo-rigid-acrylic-red/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 1, 2014 pretty sure it's '<' but anyways, I'll check out the shure se215, thanks for the suggestion! If you got the chance to audition (try it on), make sure to try on the standard and the special edition. They sound a bit different. Some like the standard version, others, including me, like the special version more.

Posted November 2, 2014 Havi B3 is has really big soundstage(huge) but it has a lack of 'rumbling' bass. So if you are into those dubstep/pop that require 'rumbling' as a fun factor, then it might disappoint you. On that note, I heard havi b6(?) and the new vsonic IEM's are coming out very soon.

Soundstage is the key factor that made me consider the havi b3 in the first place ! I love open headphones and while I know it can't be compared to those, I'm still really interested I don't often listen to dubstep and such so it should be just fine I did hear rumors about the havi b6 and vsd5 but since there's a sale right now and I don't think the difference will be dramatic, I'm probably going to go with the B3 Thanks for your input!

If you're going for soundstage, consider the apple earpods (the funny pea-shaped). I bought a cheap $7 version of it, and it really sounds good (the original one should be better). I think it's the design itself that made it sounds so airy.

Posted November 2, 2014 Check out beyerdynamic dtx 72 ie. They are on massdrop for $45 once it hits the lowest drop and they're normally $80. I bought one to try them out but they look pretty good for the price.
