Another "Looking for new earbuds" topic

[TheGhzGuy]

Hooray for being not original!

Anyway, I was going to start saving up for some good earbuds (JLab Bass is great, but, it's sound is a little tiring) Anyway, is there anything in the $40 -$100 USD range that people would recommend? (I had some Koss Spark's a while ago, so I wonder if the iSparks are decent) I know about the Shure SE215's, which are at the top of my budget.

 

Anyway, I appreciate the help!

The MEEAudio M6 Pros at the $50 range and the Shure SE215s at the $100 price range.

 

The MEEAudio M6 Pros come with features and extras that I've never seen before, including Comply Foam T200 eartips typically valued at $15, so they're great value given their sound design.

I like how simple these look.

A dozen silicon eartips, detachable earpieces, two cables (one with a mic, one high-fidelity listening cable), an included 1/8" to 1/4" adapter, a carrying case, and the included Comply Foam T200 earbuds. Couple this with a soundstage commended by audiophiles, producers, and musicians alike, and they're almost too good to be true.

 

If you want to be pleasantly surprised, though, check out the Panasonic RPHJE120 or the JVC HAFX32B Marshmallows for $5 and $10 respectively. I know an audiophile and top-level music producer who used the latter as daily travel drivers and the former as backups. I personally have the RPHJE120s, and with them, I actually managed to improve the quality of the music I produced- more so than my reference Studio headphones, the Superlux HD 681 EVOs.

They are cheap in the build but damn the sound quality is insane for the price if you ask me. I think the 400i is the most balanced and the 400s has more bass I am not sure.

If that's the case, I'll get the 400i

Have you heard the AKG k612 pro? Because I would say the 400i reminds me a lot of those.

I have some JVC's, and they're just slightly worse than the JLabs. I think I bought them for 15, I don't remember the model name or anything. I'll send you a picture when I get the chance.

The soundstage is not as big of cause but still the sound signature and how they handel deep bass and really high highs. I have not done any really intense listening to them since they are my on the go headset, and well when I am home I have much better headphones as you can see in my signature.

Yeah, my best headphones are Superlux HD 668B's, so these will probably sound better!

The sound quality should be better. It all comes down to the sound signature.

I actually prefer a flat sound curve. Overly bassy annoys me.

Well thank you so much! (I might buy a set of NX80's and the iSpark just for comparisons)

I know Amazon has "damaged" earbuds and other products sometimes, so I'll try getting them then
