Need Good Quality IEMS

[sunny27]

hi! i just got my pl-11 now and i am thoroughly disappointed. i found the build quality to be very poor and the sound quality is over-hyped.
i need something(IEMS) much better in terms of build quality and good sound quality-better than the pl-11.

PRIORITIES:
it is IMPERATIVE that the build quality be good and should feel robust and should be able to withstand daily commute in public transport.
shouldn't be all bass--low bass is ok with me.

MAXIMUM BUDGET : rs.1000

BRAND: Anything will do as long as it is well built
i will consider second hand IEMS too.

For this budget Sound Magic PL-30 is your best bet.But if you found the PL-11 to be of poor build quality you might feel the same for PL-30 as well,especially since the bass knob is a bit fragile.

PL-11 might look bit cheap,or poorly built but it is quite sturdy and more reliable than a EP-630 atleast.You get what you pay for, and PL-11 is worth each Re. spent on it. From all the IEM's Ive tried the PL-50's are the best in Sound Magic in terms of built quality as well as Sound but they cost ~2.5k .

If you can stretch your budget by 200-600 bucks you can either get the Beta Brainwavz Pro from Mp4 Nation/Lynx India or Hippo Boom from Moshel on TE(Crossroads representative).Both are on par with PL-30 in terms of sound quality but have different sound signatures. Build quality of both is really good,especially the Hippo Boom.

The Betas are sort of better with treble and bass and decent midrange. Overall balanced sound. The Hippo Boom is a bassheads delight with massive amount of bass and good midrange .

Best of Luck , hope you find something that suit's you best !

[FaH33m]

Here you can order them from Lynx with free Fiio amp .Beta Brainwavz Pro IEM Earphones + Fiio Amplifier Bundles or else it's available on mp4nation as well.

Brainwavz : MP4 Nation!

Before you go ahead and buy it , go through the reviews to know if it suits your taste buds.

ok. how much burn in time do i need for a soundmagic pl-11 which is an hour old and has been used for 5 mins?

 

[FaH33m]

^ No wonder you are not liking it .Give it atleast 35-50 hrs.Burn in using some bass heavy tracks and Pink/white noise files (play it in repeat playlist at medium volume).

Burn-in wave files: white noise, pink noise, frequency sweep, channel mix
