Help with buying in earbuds

[Matthew Lim Wei Aun]

Looking to shop for some in earbuds and been looking at Sennheiser ie80 or shure425 is there any others out there matching the price range and also which one do you think is better would appreciate the help

I prefere the Shure Se425s over the IE80s. I found the IE80s to be way too bass heavy for my taste. 

 

As for other offerings: There are the Westone W10s. I have heard good things about them, but I haven't personally tried them. 

So, I can't really recommend them, but I can say that they are worth a look.

What about the shure 535 comapred with the ie800s my price range is pretty wide but these are as high as i go do you think they are worth paying the extra money ? And which one preferably do u think is better ?

The Shure Se353s are a strange pair of in-ears. Compared to the Se425s they have more subdued bass and more prominet mids. 

I would say that it translates into them being different rather than better. Personally, I wouldn't say the 535s are worth the premium over the 425s, unless you really want clearity in your vocals and your bass to be recessed.

I don't really see why they exist to be honest. They aren't that big a step above the 425s (as said: they are different not better) and the 846s are a big step above the 553s.

 

I have never tried the IE800s, so I can't really comment on those.
