^ Even though almost all the 9-10 people that were there at the meet were strangers for him ,He was humble enough to invite us to his place for snacks and also so that we have a better environment for auditioning the gear.Best part is we all got to hear one of the best speaker setups and tons of pricesless knowledge as well :D
 
Pl30, senn cx500 and 300 would be good, but defenitely not Ep630. Its an overbright IEM with absolutely no respect for quality.
 
^ Depends which model . Sound Quality wise the RE-2,RE1,RE0 all 3 perform better than the CX500 ,PL-30 etc .but the Sennheisers have more bass quantity. You need to chose between quality and bass quantity. ;)

RE2 - Would be better than what you have and is the most VFM earphones imo.
RE1 - Not recommended unless you have a decent amp. These buddies need power, LOTS of it.
RE0 - Can use it with the Clip+, but it will truly shine with an amp.

All of these seem to be light on bass, especially the RE0. RE1 is ok though (ofcourse with an amp). The CX500 you are using has decent amount of bass, but the quality of bass isn't so good.

Since you are upgrading from PL30 and CX500, I would suggest to get something good in the Rs. 3000-5000 range.
Options in this range - RE0, Ultimate Ears 5, Klipsch Image S4.

All depends on what type of sound you like. All these IEMs have a very distinct sound signature.

@Viral And Faheem...

Where can I buy the RE0, Re1 or Re2's? And what's Amp's are u suggesting with the RE0?
 
^ All 3 can be directly ordered from Head-Direct.com | YUIN or from Lynx-India store .

RE-2 doesnt really need an amp as such unless you want more bass out of it .It does sound slightly better with an amp like E5 but not really necessary. RE-2 is the best option under 2k , has a good upfront sound and beautiful midrange. Price - ~1.8k

RE-1 demands a good high-end amp and a Fiio E5 won't do justice to its smooth midrange and ultra wide soundstage. Atleast a Cmoy or ibasso is suggested ;). It has a slightly recessed treble and a very laidback sound. Price- ~ 4.1k

RE-0 Most highly detailed IEM .Almost ruler flat sound output .Balanced/ neutral whatever you can call it .Somewhat like the sound of monitoring gear. Not suited for everyone's taste but can provide extreme detailing ,transparency in sound which other IEMs cant.

Needs decent amount of power to be driven . An amp like Fiio E5 will suffice only to give a amplified output of original sound with more bass (if bass boost is on) but to squeeze out the best out of it or to alter the sound to suit personal tastes , you might have to spend anything upwards 100$ for an amp .

Price - ~4.1k

Thanks ...Repped you:ohyeah:

Does Lynx India give warranty? He has made a listing in ebay for RE0. Id there is warranty Then I guess its better to buy from lynx then ordering from head direct directly?

^ Yes Lynx-India provides warranty as well but incase anything goes wrong the RMA time depends on weather they have stock or not.

If you are getting it cheaper via Ebay using coupons , go for it .Its also better than dealing directly as you have Paisa Pay security.

You are going for RE-0 ?
 
^^yup, i am thinking of getting the RE-0...but I will go for it only after ur approval:)...

I have heard the bose in ear, Cx 500, CX300, Pl30....So wanted to also see how the Head direct plays out:)

So dude...Shall I go for it?

BTW: Why did u sell ur sansa Clip?
 
^ More than my approval its your ear's approval that matters. ;).

See , what you will get out of RE-0 is -

highly detailed and neutral sound ,everything will be balanced and sound natural, medium / decent soundstage and imaging . amazing transparency , each musical beat just flows through the other so it's very easy to pick up different detailed notes which you must have never heard before in your music.Also keep in mind that the RE-0 doesn't show any mercy to lower bit rate files or poor recordings which means its very revealing and will rip apart low quality files resulting in distortion.Using 320 kbps Mp3s or lossless(FLACs) is highly recommended for pure audio nirvana.

What you DONT get is -

warm sound/ upfront sound or any sort of artificial colouration which will make your music sound more musical/fun etc.No thumping and pumping bass .

If that's what you want , go for the RE-0 eyes closed. If you are looking for what the RE-0 is NOT - you will have to look at the Kilpsch S4 or other IEMs.

The reason I sold of the Clip+ is I needed more memory , and a better UI,browsing etc .The clip+ has a poor/decent batter life of 8-10 hrs depending on the volume , bit rate of files used. With an addition of a microSD card it drops further.With 320/FLACs loaded and a microSD card ,I was hardly getting 6-7 hrs of battery life.

I got to try a Sansa Fuze 8GB few days back and fell in love with it.The perfect PMP ,Ive been looking for . Audiophile quality audio,amazing screen,slim form factor,20hrs + battery life and also a microSD slot .Also it looks really sleek and sexy in person , the snaps online don't do any justice to it . Mine should be here in 2-3 days :D

Ok...then lemme try the RE-0...BTW how much will Kilpsch S4 cost?

Also, is sansa Fuze the same size as Sansa clip? I preference was the smallest size (can spend more if size is same:))...
 
^ Size in terms of storage or form factor/ dimensions ?

Physically the Fuze is much bigger than the Clip+ since it has a 1.9" LCD as well .Its almost the same size as that of a 3rd gen Ipod Nano. (the squarish ones).

S4 is available with Prashaant dealer on TE. Price is ~ 3.XX k
 
^^I meant the physical size...looks like its bigger:)..I will stick to Sansa clip + as my need is just for work out and jogging:)

U rock Faheem....nice overall knowledge of audiogear and a very helpful nature...just bought the sansa clip by reading this thread and am gonna buy a RE0 or S4 reading ur comments and suggestions..thnx
 
I wonder when will he list the 2GB one I only want that one.

There are only 5-10 tracks i need while jogging etc 4gb is waste for me. I only need little space... infact i was happy with 1Gb shuffle afa the space was concerned. HELP!!!!
