Audio Bass lover's pick at 2.5k-3k

[HellSlyne]

Hi,

My friend needs an IEM to listen to mostly metal-source is N8. What would be a bass-lover's pick at 2.5k to 3.5k? More importantly where can I audition it in Mumbai?

Pristinenote will be the right place for auditioning soundmagics and brainwavz? Read somewhere in the forum that PL50's bass may not be impressive because of BA. esanthosh seems to prefer M2 at this range. Any other suggestion?

Regards,
Sajit

U already own the C751 and CX380, how much more bass do you want?

^^ Your friend needs a Brainwavz M2 PERIOD.

I have a question wrt to iem's, does bass sound as good as bass from a pair of speakers? or would a pair of open cans would do justice to sub bass?

@alpha17: I'll ask him to check it out at pristinenote

@JPL: There is an intresting thread over at head-fi about the same debate

Don't buy the sound magic products. I feel their build quality is pathetic. They get conked after a while.

^^ SoundMAGIC Products have a pretty decent build quality. I use the PL-30 for gym, travel and at home on a day to day basis and they are better than most other products in their price-range.

Also none of the SounMAGIC's has a bass oriented signature apart from the PL-21 ~ 600/-.

Bass lovers pick under 3k ? Brainwavz M2 would surely be among the top contenders.

i would recommend m2 as well.if he can increase his budget a little bit than klipsch s4.

@OP:Get the brainwavz M2,even klipsch S4 cant match it in both bass quality as well as quantity.

i agree,many have gone through the troubles of Soundmagic products RMA.

Since when are using that PL30? PL11 is also bassy iem.

^^ 4-5 months. I find the PL-21 bass better controlled than PL-11 OR the muted PL-30 / PL-50.

^^ 4-5 months.

Then just wait and watch

^^ I know, I gifted my friend a PL-21 and the housing collapsed in ~ 3 months, and he screwed the situation further by trying to use FeviKwik which melted the plastic [thankfully driver escaped un-scarred]. Now it is a weird fit but still sounds great.

Then just wait and watch

I have till now found if you take care of something it'll last.
