Hi,
I would like to buy a new IEM headphones which i will be using with my phone.
I like good bass(most imp.) along with good mid and high...overall the music experience should be good.
My shortlisted IEMs are
Soundmagic PL11
Soundmagic MP21
Philips SHE9700
Ultimate ears 350vi

SoundmagicE10 is not available anywhere and on Ebay,sellers are charging very high. Vsonic GR02 Bass edition is not available in India.
I mainly listen to Trance, Pop, and sometimes chillout lounge kinda music(instruments)
If any other alternative is available pls let me know.
My budget is 1.5k max

Soundmagics are top-selling iems..hard to find one. E10 alone will blow away all the ones you have shortlisted. Vsonic gr02 is available in India but they'll be way out of your budget. here -- VSonic GR02 Bass Ed.
a member "desmond davis" has bought a pair for 2.6k.
you can look for gr99 in your budget.
