IEM recommendations ~£100

[Nxl8]

I am looking for a new set of earphones as my current ones have broken. My budget is about £100 but could potentially go up to £250 but I would not like to spend this much.

I will use the IEM for commuting so as little noise leakage as possible would be great. I have no real preference to how noise isolating they are, however I would prefer a lack of active noise canceling features.

No sports style IEMs I personally find them uncomfortable.

 

I would only like IEM recommendations, no headphones please.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Sennhesier ie60 and ie80s

That's good as these are 2 IEMs that I have been looking an seem to be well recommended across the internet

Sadly I do not believe they are available in the UK, cannot find them anywhere without resorting to Ebay plus I have had bad experience with ATH earphones in the past (won't stop me from buying another set again though).

You can order them directly through the ATH website

Gives me this message sadly: "Pre-order Only - Stock available TBA"

Fostex te05

Well, you could spend somewhere around 250 quid and get custom art music one, it's a CIEM so the isolation will be topnotch.

 

There's also Yamaha EPH-100. I'd say checkout theheadphonelist.com, |joker| has reviewed a lot of IEMs over the years

May be try with Monster Cable DNA Headphones or Shure SRH750D

He specifically asked for IEMs and those two headphones aren't that great anyway.

After doing some more research I have decided I will not go for Sennheiser, as although I have heard nothing but praise for them on the sound side of things, they are apparently overpriced. Not sure if it is true but it is the general consensus with a lot of reviews

 

Fostex te05

These look pretty good, I liked your review as well; very helpful, thanks.

The art music one looks pretty good, and seem to be well recieved by reviewers, certainly taking them into consideration.

I disagree but whatever

 

There is also the Sony XBA 2IP and Sure 420/425,

I actually own the IE60 as well and can say the Fostex are miles better. Although something that I forgot to put into my review of the fostex is that there is a lot of cable noise from it rubbing against your coat or something and it doesn't seem to be the most durable. One side is starting to flake out on me after a few months of use so I'm likely going to get a more durable cable soon. It's still well worth it imo though.

I don't think I will get CIEMs just due to that I won't be able to sell them on as easily and they may be too noise isolating.

I disagree but whatever

The Shure SE425 look pretty good though apparently there is a lack in bass compared to similarily priced earphones, not much of an issue though. Discounting the Sony XBAs due to non-removeable cables.

The Fostex TE-05 are looking like the pair I am most likely to get unless something else impresses me significantly.

There's westone Wx0 series and the Audio technica ATH-IM0x series. Westone W20 or ATH-IM02 are pretty neutral
