er6 vs e2c

saltylj · 01-07-2006, 18:11

Im back, woah havent been here in awhile, but here my poll. as i have recently acquired holiday money, but am still cheap,
what are the best earphones(buds,earthingies, whatever) for under 100 that could fit a small earcanal?

Konechiwa · 01-07-2006, 20:10

you could also try the creative ep60's or whatever their called.

Jetz8 · 01-07-2006, 20:46

You can also try teh new sennheiser cx 300. said to be coming out this month and looks exactly like the creatives ep-630 which is also good for someone who lieks bass. the cx300 is said to be at 50 dollars and the ep-630 is from 30-40, from teh last i haerd about it but i don't know when the ep-630 is going to come out in america. if you don't mind paying a little more or your looking something better, you can try teh altec lansing 616(pretty sure thats how its spelled or maybe i'm missing sumthing) well those are around 90 dollars but are close to the other high quality headphones from ety er4p

I would go with the E2c's. Not that I have heard them, but they seem to have good sound, and thick cords.

I was strongly considering them before I got the Sony MDR-EX71SLK headphones.

I've gone to multiple audio enthusiasts forums and heard the E2C's such the big one, and the er6i's aren't better since they lack bass almost completely.

My suggestion is to go to earphonesolutions if you're looking for a good pair of canalphones. I suggest the ultimate ears' Super.Fi 3s, however I've heard very good things about the Westone's UM1. Both are a little bit more expensive, but have craploads better audio quality.

I'll second the ultimate ears super.fi 3 studio's. I just got a pair and they sound great and have plenty of bass, imo. They come with different kinds of ear tips, even small ones, so I'm sure you'll find a good fit. The cable is also replacable.

Same here, although the bass is a little low IMO. I turned mega bass on my AV500 to max though and now it sounds more like the bass out of my old phones....with a bit more accuracy to boot ^_^

super fi 3 better than e2c?

saltylj · 01-08-2006, 02:19

um1 worth the extra 20-30 they might cost ABOVE e2c and er6 price and super 3?
out of the cheaper 3 whats best?

saltylj · 01-08-2006, 13:09

please help?

MoveZig · 01-08-2006, 14:07

I've heard the er6 is extremely lacking in bass. I choose the ultimate ears over all the others because of it's sound quality and the cables are replaceable.

saltylj · 01-08-2006, 19:10

how do they fit in ur ear though? have other earbuds been a problem?

MoveZig · 01-08-2006, 21:16

They are VERY comftroble. I can barely notice they're there. They fit just like a pair of earplugs. I tried a pair of ultimate ears before I bought them and I loved the sound. I have never tried the others before though.

I was told in forums if I had the spare money UM1s were great, however I also had someone tell me get the cheaper of the TWO (Super.Fi 3's or UM1's) and not to bother considering the e2c's.

saltylj · 01-08-2006, 22:32

where were u able to try the super fi's? and why, are um1 and superfi the same? fit the same?
