Re: ear fones

If you are going for triple drivers like Shure 535, try the following:
Westone 3
Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 (these are huge, but cheaper)
Shure E500

Personally I like Westone sound signature and comfort/form factor. You have to try them before you buy..Jaben at adelphi and Stereo at Plaza Sing lets you audition the earphones before buying.

Never go for Bose

Re: ear fones

ok marky. the westones 3 hv good reviews.

Re: ear fones

Personally I only have Westone 1...it gets me by, but I have regrets whenever I try my colleagues Westone 3 or UE triple fi 10. So please go for the crazy expensive triple driver earphones.

Which ipod you using? There are loads of portable DACs and amplifiers available in the market

These are really comfy. You can get them from Epicentre. Good stuff! The other one I was eyeing was the Ultimate Ears. But decided o the Klipsch instead due to comfort. Having said that, I haven't gone to the shop to pick it up.

Re: ear fones

Those in-ears have very different sound signature across not only different brands but models too. You might wanna purchase a set of comply tip (your size) and head down to Jaben or your favourite shops for audition b4 making the decision.

Recommend Westones, UE or Shure. But you pick the model according to the music you like n your taste

Re: ear fones

i think Sony has earbud noise cancelling earphones.... not sure how good though, never tried b4.

i got b&O, look chio onli...

Re: ear fones

I recommend ultimate ears triple fi. Get the v model with mic for your iPhone.

Re: ear fones

I'd recommend Westone UM3x, been using them for a while now. So far so gd on the plane, doesn't cut the engine noise 100% but works gd enough for me. I think you should be able to change the earphone cables for something with an inline mic if you want to use them for phone calls on the iphone.

And the plus point's that you won't look weird listening to them, unless you don't mind having blue ear buds sticking out of your ears (UE triple fi).

Re: ear fones

noise cancelling ones give me a headache. so u may wish to try out first. Alternative i think Jaben at adelphi can make a mould of your ear and produce an piece that fits ur ears perfectly. Thus blocks out noise....no need for noise cancelling.

Re: ear fones

Audio Technica with active noise-cancellation is also not bad for the price.

Re: ear fones

go to jaben at the adelphi. the shop will allow you to try all sort of models based on your budget. this shop also does customized in-ear cans based on your ear profile and contours (though this would take a week or two).

..............Aiya, juz use those issued by the cabin crew lor......

Re: ear fones

Try Etymotic -- order from Amazon for reduced price. I personally don't like active noise cancellation pieces (bulky, compression on ear drums), so an in-ear noise isolation earphone works great.

Fantastic noise isolation, exceptionally clear sound. Tight and clear bass, but not boosted. If you like heavy bass, skip this brand.

Very happy with the purchase. All in price including freight about SGD220.

Re: ear fones

thanks all. i just went to jaben...

i told them let me try all ur best. do not tell me the brand or price.
ok i recognise some of the models..shure, sennheiser etc. i tried a total of 8 pairs. n i picked one of them. holy mother of genhis khan....i picked this

JH AUDIO | Pro Music

JH 16pro....1.8ksgd. custom made.

i walked out dazed. i said let me think about it...its freaking nuts to pay such price...but once i put on the rest of the shures, etymotics, sennheisers....NOTHING comes close. this has 8 drivers....the most expensive off the rack shures hv 3.

its mind boggling the sound. the guy is jerry harvey, founder of ultimate ears....he was the chief soundman of van halen..what can i say.

now i sit here n think.....1.8k is very mad.... if i buy my wife i will tell my wife 300 bucks.
