    Spotted some Sennheiser Momentum on-ear in HMV grafton st for €130.

    Looking for some earphones within a 40 euro budget. Had a pair of sound magic e10s but the cable broke after a few weeks so returning them.

    I don't need a mic, other than that I don't have any preferences except good quality obviously.

    If you are on a budget I would be looking at the new Vsonic VSD series or the Havi B3 iems.. both around the 45euro mark

    Xiaomi Pistons?

    €25 including shipping from China.

    They'll be a while coming though.

    I'd recommend the VSonics over the Pistons. I found the Pistons kind of uncomfortable.

    Whats the best in ear pair of earphones at the minute? Looking for ones under about €60. Preferably not shipping from Asia

    I know you don't want something coming from Asia, but you can't go wrong with some of the Vsonic stuff from lendmeurears. Other than that, I have the Brainwavz S1 that I'm pretty pleased with, they can be had from Amazon.

    Cheers lads, Ill look into Brainwavz
    These seem like decent value? Bad reviews mention the remote, which doesnt bother me.

    They seem to be full price everywhere, anywhere I can get them reduced. I never pay full price!
    A lot of the brainwavz around the £40 mark on amazon, which is about right. S0, M2, M3, M4, is S0 the best?

    Cheers.

    Do you have a link for either of these? One thing I do want though is a right angle jack as nearly all my earphones break because of the connection being straight.

    Not a fan of the 300.


    The GR07 is out of your budget I think, but they have nothing but praise on Head-Fi.

    Same with VS3D, they are also suggested for their price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,749 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Do you know how long shipping usually takes? Cos if I pay for the 18 dollars shipping then the earphones would work out at 60 euro, bit over budget. Not sure if I like the size of them in the ear. The detachable cable is pretty cool though.

    If you get them and don't like them, I'll take them off your hands. I'm probably going to buy in a month or so anyway and they'll be my 3rd pair of various VSonic models.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,749 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Thanks for the offer theintern. Appreciate it.

    Is there much difference between the VSonics and the havi b3 proII (I do like the fact I can get these on amazon). Also the Vsonics VSD3 seem quite big and some people complained that there ears got a little bit sore after wearing them for a while. And which would be the best brainwavz? Apologies I am extremely picky and annoying.

    I would be looking at these online shops which have good reputations..Have a read of the headphonelist reviews too,great site.. Take everything at headfi with a grain of salt as always ;)

    Some pretty bad reviews of those online actually.

    If you don't like them you can return them with Amazon..I see hardly any review's online bar a 5 star review from the daily mail tech section, not that its worth anything as I don't pay much attention to these 'reviews',the feedback on Amazon is generally positive about the iem.. In that case I recommend the noble k10u for a top listening experience :) good luck with your purchase either way..

    I presume you are ripping the piss out of me cos the only ones I can find are over a grand. I thought maybe these were a custom version of the ones you suggested but nope after reading I don't think so. :pac:

    Anyway...appreciate all the useful info you gave before that. Thanks.

    I got the VSD3S but I won't make a proper review yet. On the pair I got one of the cables going into the earphone isn't in right and it can twist so sometimes the sound goes off until I twist it back. Unfortunately I can't actually tighten it so that it will stay. I am talking to customer support at the moment. If they were right though I would be delighted I think.

    Edit - So they have told me to ship them back to them. Going to cost an additional €8.60 to ship via registered post. So all in all, the earphones will cost me 67 euro if I get a pair back that are right. Not happy that I paid for the FedEx shipping and now I will have to wait ages to get the earphones anyway.

    Edit again - Complained about having to fit the cost of the return shipping and they agreed to pay up to 20 dollars for the return shipping as the product arrived with a defect.

    Any recommendations for Bluetooth earphones, maybe headphones for 70-100e. My preference is bass heavy but as long as the quality is around the same as sennheiser CX series 300+ I don't mind

    Thats pretty crap...where did you buy them from? Ive sent stuff to Hong Kong before and it got there is 5days so it may not be that long... if worst comes to worst,I presume you paid via paypal so you are protected if anything goes wrong..

    mp4nation. Going to return them during the week. Extremely busy and didn't get a chance to do it yet. Hopefully it will only be a week or two before I get them back.
