|
 |
i'm looking for a good pair of in-ears... but even after doing some homework on it, the market is, well too fucking huge 
models i've enjoyed before (and managed to break because everyday use/drunk/stupid):
Sony MDR-EX650APT
Denon AH-C560R
both in the 70€ range, bit heavy on bass (which is ok imo since the music i listen to is around 60-70% electronic and in other cases EQ is a quick remedy). i basically want something similar, maybe better, price limit is around 100€.
current favorites:
Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear (also pretty pimp looks)
Shure Se215 (yay, detachable cables!)
both are similar to my previous buds, albeit a bit pricier, but also apparently providing better sound. i'm aware though that i'm paying for brands in both cases, so the question is...any recommendations for similar headphones, especially from lesser known brands with a better price-performance ratio?

Xiamoi Piston 3
/thread
Seriously, those fuckers cost ~20€ and have unbeaten sound quality in that price region.
Great sound at all tones and several different earpieces are included.
You just must be careful where you buy them, as several fakes are sold at unserious palces.

just saw the momentums are priced at 77€ now, plus pretty much every review didn't have any real bad things to say about them.
and i avoid beats like the plague anyway. still can't comprehend why especially at this price point they don't put in the least bit effort and just put in some sort of cheap, but still good drivers like xiaomi. as for the latter, i considered them, but actually buying them is a pain in the ass, also the warranty is probably a bitch, while the sennheisers have 2 years on them (buying a 2nd pair of xiaomis = pretty much 1x sennheisers + warranty) AND bling equal to beats. time to pull the trigger on them.

I'd always bet on Sennheiser. I got CX300-II and a pair of older over-ear HD250 (which I want to replace with over-ear Momentums). Sennheiser been doing professional audio stuff for ages.

got the pistons 2 and i would not buy them again. yes the sound is good but it's a pain in the ass to wear them. also the cable is pretty shitty. maybe the new ones are better

If any of you are ever feeling experimental and want to try a new underdog brand that has amazing sound, check out Thinksound.
I've got their TS02 buds in cherry wood. I've had more expensive ones from Westone that barely lasted close to how long I've had these and they sound a whole shit load better.

but the good kind of fun) headphones, they may be a bit too bass-heavy/punchy for my taste.
