^Compared to es18, isolation is better on e30s otherwise its mediocre. used comply foams to isolate better. However comfort is top notch on them. Sound is more cleaner & extends both ends better than es18 i think.
No microphonics i felt wearing straight down or around ears. My favs in sub3k range:). But they are overpriced as of now coz of $-rs thing:(. Still nothing is there in that price if someone needs a natural & more towards neutral sound as far as i know.

All 3 of those are good in this price range & deliver for different sound needs. I'll pick e30s as per my taste n preference. Mh1c has praised a lot in recent past for its very warm & sweet sound. Gr02 is on bassy side & has more v shape response as far as i had known.

Damn confused :confused:
Is there any other IEM too which can be added to these ? Or should I continue the research with these 3 only ?
And which one of these has best highs ?
Current scenario -
E30
Pros-
Signature most similar to ES18
Over the ear so most ideal to use while jogging
Most comfortable
Least microphonics
Cons-
Least isolation
Least sound quality (acc to Joker reviews)

MH1C
Pros-
Best isolation
Best sound quality (Joker)
Cons-
High microphonics compared to other 2

GR02
Pros-
Great bass
Everything in between the other 2 I guess

Noob question - Only wire material is responsible for microphonics and tips for isolation, right ?
 
I have the MH1 (sony ericsson) and had the E30. I chose to keep the Mh1 as it has better bass quality & quantity over E30. Absolutely smooth through-out the frequency range. the treble though smooth, has enough sparkle and extension good instrument separation, layering, above average soundstage and gives a 3d feel, the re-400 which i recently got, is just slightly better and feels a little more natural . This is an IEM which doesnt sacrifice details for a warm & smooth signature,yet it doesnt have the DBA-02 detail levels. Build quality, isolation and comfort is very good compared to E30.The only downside is the cable which is microphonic but very less if you route the right side earphone cable to come behind the neck. You can never jog with these:p. If you need an all rounder and if can compromise a few aspects for sound quality then these
wont let you down and are excellent value for money( I got them for just Rs1000). Oh! forgot one thing OTB they were boomy and veiled, you need to burn them good may be more than 50hrs for them to sound the way i've described. Hope this helps :)

Thank You ! :D
And I too would like to know from where you got them for 1k
 
Even I want to know where you got MH1C for 1K ;)

Sorry @hitesh12 for not taking on your query. Things are pretty messed up at my end and I did not want to reply until I actually had time to try ES18 and E30 again.
