Hi guys,
I'm having Sound Magic ES18 which is fine but now I want to try some different IEM rather different Sound Signature. Its bass has to be on par with SM ES18 if not better & overall clarity is important. I listen to mostly 80% Bollywood track[mostly soulful tracks] & 20% trance.

I've shortlisted few IEMs please give your views on them
1. Audio Technica ATH-COR150 Core Bass In-Ear Headphones

2. Audio Technica ATH-CLR100 Clear In-Ear Headphones

3. Audio Technica ATH-CKL202 Dynamic Earphones

6. JVC Marshmallow HA-FX34

If there is any other in my budget please do suggest. My source is Nationite N2.

I would also like to know if the driver size does matter in IEMs i.e larger the driver better the sound & vice versa. SM ES18 has 10mm driver while the above IEM's have 8 or 8.5mm drivers.

Thanks in advance.
