Head Direct RE0?

Hi

Fairly new to all this; I'm looking to get a decent pair of IEMs for around £50/£60 and it seems like the RE0s are probably a decent shout from what I've read and for what I want.

I don't want a really 'bassy' (not quite up-to-speed on my terminology yet!) pair, just a good pair for listening to a range of music.

However, some reviews I've read say they're 'bass-light'. I'm assuming this means that the base isn't particularly prominent - would this be a fair comment? I'd still like to have a decent amount of bass.

Also, some reviews say that the microphonics aren't very good. Not quite sure what this means - people talk of the cables rubbing on your clothing causing mid-frequency noise. Surely, on such highly regarded IEMs, this it wouldn't be a noticeable noise.

Based on this, would anyone have any recommendations as to what other IEMs I might try for the £50/60 mark (could go slightly higher). Was looking at the Senn CX870 but cant seem to find any reviews - any thoughts.

Much appreciated.

 

Hi Yohn222,

At their price these are excellent, cable microphonics should not be a problem simply use a shirt clip on your collar and the transfer of noise will stop there.

If you are more a fan of detail and rich mid range than bass have a look at these two earphones - the Phonak is the most detailed.
