In-ear headphones with good bass recommendations
 
Does anyone have any recommendation on good in-ear headphones that have good bass? Like the ones that you stick inside your ear canal.

I'm currently using the Sennheiser HD555, and although the music is clear, it lacks bass. And I'm looking for something more portable now,
which is why I'm looking for in-ears headphones.

I've never bothered getting higher-end ones before, but are they worth it?
Because they are in-ear, I would never demo them at a store for hygienic reasons, so I'm not sure how to choose...

I've only bought cheap $10 in-ear headphones before.
I'm not an audiophile, so I don't have super high expectations.
I've used the Sony MDR-XB300 before, and the bass is not bad, but some songs can sound "muddy."

I'm looking for something slightly like that with the bass, but less "muddy", and in the form of in-ear headphones.
I don't have a specific budget, but really just looking for something that's good "bang-for-buck",
as long as it's not ridiculous like SOUL® or Beats™ (Don't have that kind of money).

Klipsch S4

Mid range price. Great clear sound.

Klipsch S4 is terribly overpriced for its sound quality.

Give the Ultimate Ears UE350 a try. I've used several mid to high-end in ear buds, these ones are surprisingly decent with tight bass, strong mids and crisp highs. I purchased mine brand new in open box from eBay for $35, totally worth it. Dare I even say it sounds more rich with more of an impact than my Sony EX500s.

Future Sonics Atrio M5 or M8 (only difference between the two models is the colour).

X2 bass is great! Definitely give them a try at least.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'm going to check reviews on all of these.

One more question, are the more expensive in-ears a lot better than the cheap $10 ones?
Or is the real secret in good sound just getting a "good seal" in your ear?

I know whenever I push in headphones into my ear, they always sound a lot better :lol

beatdownvictim 05-23-2012 07:56 PM

Philips SHE3580, just love these and so damn comfortable

:fulloffuck:

Have you tried this yourself??
I bit scared to open up my expensive headphones. But seems legit.

btw, how much better is the 595 anyway?

twitchyzero 05-23-2012 10:31 PM

sennheiser cx-300 II if bass is your thing

PornMaster 05-23-2012 10:34 PM

From first hand Klipsch sucks ass for bass.

Sound quality is mediocre at best...

for bass I like the in ear bose you can find them on sale for 69.99

artmotion 05-23-2012 11:55 PM

I'm using Shure SE215s right now and they're great. Not too expensive either. Seems like everyone in here has pretty good suggestions. Just don't buy beats by Dre.

All the stuff is included in the package.

I have the ultimate ears 500

Pretty good bass, and the sound isolation isn't that bad, when people try to speak to me, all I see is their lis moving :troll:. I picked them up for 40 bucks new before tax.

Manic! 05-24-2012 01:10 AM

Best budget in ears you can get locally imo are JVC Marshmallow's. $30 or less and sound great. didn't like the Klipsch much.

Psykopathik 05-24-2012 08:16 AM

whats your budget?

ilovebacon 05-24-2012 11:12 AM

I use this. Fits in my ear perfectly. Bose IE2 Headphones - Audio Headphones - Bose Headsets and Headphones

AzNightmare 05-24-2012 11:29 AM

After some research, i'm currently leaning toward the cx300 II, or the MEElectronics M31.
I found them for $20/$30 on Ebay.

I thought about the SP51, but want sure if they were going to be worth it.
I couldn't find them cheap on Ebay. And the bass tuning seemed more like a novelty
Than real use, since I'm just going to use the extreme bass ones and never switch them again.

I checked out the official sites for some of the headphones, but they don't even mention "bass"
In their ad or catch phrases. That's a red flag for me, since I'm looking for bass, not "enhanced acoustic audio", etc.

I would be comfortable with something around $40-50. Anything more, and it will take a lot of convincing why they are worth that much before I go for it. Definitely $100 is my max though.

And I'm also taking in account how easy I can get them. If I don't have to so online shopping, im willing to pay extra $15 just so I don't have to wait.

Cant go wrong with the Mee
