Re: earbuds around 1000k?

I am afraid anyone will trade for your 1000 bugs.

Get Soundmagic PL 21 if you like to have decent bass punch.

Get either of MEElectronics M6 or Soundmagic PL-30. Both are better than better Creative one and probably overall better than the Sony one too.
My vote goes for the Soundmagic Pl-30 as I have experienced it personally and it is a tested product.

I suggest Soundmagic PL-30...bass is less than PL-21 but still excels in other aspects.

if u want insane amount of Bass than Hippo Boom is good in that.

Couple of weeks ago I had the same query but ma budget was Rs.500, so I bought Philips SHP-1900 from flipkart I expected simple sound quality but was wobbled by the sound quality, It was extremely good and the sound isolation worked like wonder, bass was also pretty nice. I would recommend you to check the link I have posted on this thread. YOu should consider buying these headphones to save your precious POCKET-MONEY

That is exactly the problem. I don't know how they compare to each other. I only have the M1 and the CX180. You will have to check with the users of those IEMs.

If CX180 is within your reach, forget PL21..

Won't change the sound signature, bass response can improve.

pl30 is around 975/-, its mid and high signature is great, lacks in bass, its tight but not boomy or punchy.

brainwavz m1 and pro alpha is around 1570 in pristine note. I am considering buying it, but I am confused will it be any good for my defy, coz i dont won any dedicated music player and I will be playing it without any amplifier. can anyone advice on that?
