Headphones

Gentlemen I'm in need of some new in-ear headphones. $150 limit, must be from amazon due to they ship fast as hell to my deployed address, audiophile stuff, must have tips.

Iloved a set of klipsh S4s but that only lasted about 6 months in the gym.

I got a set of Munitio billets sent out but they fell apart the first day. They where a bit bass heavy but not as bad as Beats.

I think I'm liking the Munitio NINES and I read they are more balanced then the low end Billets.

I hear good things about Audio-Technica but I also read a lot of bad.

give me some ideas please. If I order them on the first it will take about 2 weeks to get here

I work out now on a ship in the middle of the gulf pretty much outside. Overears get way to sweety. I was looking at these also.

Amazon.com: Audio Technica ATH-CKS77 BK Inner Ear Headphones 12.5mm Drivers (Japan Import) - Black: Electronics if you want a bass heavy sound signature dont worry its no where near as muddy/cruddy like beats. Built really solid.

if you can, try to find a pair of ultimate ears triple fi 10 used on headfi. These are very balanced detailed and comfortable, just get some replacements for the rubber/foam ear pieces. Definitely my favorite in ears.

If you want a cheaper alternative to the ultimate ears, check out the vsonik GR07 Mk. II or yamaha eph-100

You opened my eyes up thanks. I just ordered the Shure ES315. I like the idea of the wrap arounds. I'll see if I can get a review up in a few weeks when they come in.

I love my Audio-Technica ATH-M50's one of the best headphones I've ever owned IMO.Couldnt tell you about the other headphones mentioned but for 150$ I'm very pleased with how detailed the bass and highs are on the ATH- M50's.

I went a bit over on these but hte features seem worth it. You can change the cord out if it wears out and buy a cord with apple controls. 37db isolation with the standard cord, less with the apple. Thats needed when I'm trying to work out with jets launching two decks above me.

Heres a nice pair of headphones: https://www.staxusa.com/stax-sr-009.html

Then its pretty much required that you have an amp to drive them: https://www.staxusa.com/stax-srm-727ii.html

When its all said and done your into that audiophile HeadFi for close to $6500.

Solid choice. I was going to recommend the Shure's, but Ive been busy.

I got the Shure's in today. So far so good, I got about 30 minutes play time on them. Fit is amazing, they come with 10 different tips and the wrap around is perfect. Once you find the right tip the response is great. I'm sure over the next few days they will get better but right now they blend great for a single driver. Nothing is overwelming. Are they worth $200? They are better then my $80 Klipsh by a good bit. The noise isolation is sick
