I use a nokia 5230.Was using a senheisser pmx60 initially,then used the default ones and now those are trashed.

So I need new ones.
Shortlisted the Soundmagic ES18 initially,but heard it has a lack of bass and too bright colours for my taste :p
Then came to know about panasonic Panasonic RP-HJE180E-V and the Panasonic RP-HJE120E.

Any other options? Please let me know soon.

Lack of bass??
Tell me one IEM at this price range gives more bass than ES18.
First you have to hear it, it gives plenty of powerful bass. But it's not a Bass monster.

coming from senheisser pmx60 you find the ES18 to be lacking in bass? really? are you sure?
I own both the senhisser as well as the ES18 and I can say for a fact that ES18 have adequate bass actually quite a bit more than the pmx60

I said "but heard it has a lack of bass". HEARD<= that is the keyword here. I have just seen how the headphones look on flipkart. I haven't actually used them.

Anyway, creative ep-630 or soundmagic ES18?? Increased budget a little.

ES18 hands down, I know creative ep630 has its fans but I just hate them, they produce over the top boomy bass which over powers everything else

Haven't tried mx170 but I know mx170 are on the ear not in the ear headphones and could be little uncomfortable in long use.
