max22 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Looking to spend $150 or less. Will be listening to movies, tv shows, music, and youtube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have the Klipsch S4i and really like them. From the reviews I've seen, those are pretty much as good as it gets in the $100 and under price range. You do need to break them in a bit, so don't expect to be amazed right away. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm a fan of analytical sounding etymotic (eg. don't add extra bass or anything ). http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Portable-In-Ear-Earphones/dp/B000XPG2QI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1392048697&sr=8-3&keywords=etymotic goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasondefaoite Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Klipsch S4i is nice, however the reliability is damn poor. I would avoid if possible. I went through 2 sets in less than 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Head direct is a lesser known brand, but known for its best value. (Eg. Best sound for the money) https://www.head-direct.com/Products/?cid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've beat my MC5 and ER4PTs to hell.. Heck the MC5 even went in the washing machine by mistake and still work like a charm :wacko: They go give I think 2 year warranty on the higher end ones.

Thanks but isn't the ER4 only for a iphone and ipad ? That is what I hate. At least the volume control is. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have iDevice versions, like the ER6i and HF2. The ER4s are pure IEMs, so is the MC5 and HF5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phouchg Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 How's cable noise on all these? It's one single thing that keeps me away from most in-ears. I've been passively looking for a pair with flat cable, too. Of course, they'd tangle themselves into ten impossible knots while I'm asleep anyway, but it's the new cool, right? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyOpWarlord Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That I'm not sure of. I have all Apple products. So it does control my iMac, iPhone and iPad flawless.I saw a review on ZDNet where it was tested with a Note3 but not all the functions worked. I primarily use an Android device and the remote worked well with Google Play Music to control play/pause, skip forward, and skip back. However, it did not control the volume on the Note 3 I tested. Pressing and holding the center button launched S Voice on the Note 3, but you still have to press the mic button on the display to activate S Voice functionality. I understand it is optimized to control Siri on iOS devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
