low budget earphone (in-ear or over-ear) under 2K

[ashish7811]

hello guys i m using creative zen x-fi and i m looking for earphone (in-ear or over-ear)
and my budget is under 2K
earphone should be balanced sound (not reach bass or too low bass) and durable becoz i broke 2 EP-630 and a CX-180

Ashish, The Brainwavz m1 could be what you are looking for. Else I would look at the Xears xb120 or Head direct Re2.

I think you should go for Soundmagic PL 21 costs about 750/-
They are great at that price.

I'd suggest Sennheiser HD202. Philips and Panasonic also make surprisingly good budget headphones.

thank u guys ....i have purchased skullcandy chops(over ear fitting).......but i dont like it ...it has very low bass.....so i gave it to my friend......now i m planning to buy new earphone with same fitting like skullcandy chops.....
anyone has any idea,..? i have checked one model on philip's site but reiviews are not good.....

 

[ashish7811]

and i have tried cx550 of my friend it has also good sound......should i go with it ...?
or PL 21 or Sony MDR-EX57SL are more good than cx550..?

I have a sennheiser PX100 (3 years old) which I am using with my creative zen v plus. Would recommend any entry level headphones from sennheiser. The PX100, PX200, HD201 & HD202 should be available within your budget.

Cheers,
APK.

@ OP,

AFAIK, someone is selling his RE2/ Fiio E5 combo in the classsifieds section. At the price quoted, it seems a no brainer to me .

I have also gotten the M1 for a friend, a very good iem for the price.

Cheers

Sennheiser CX200 Street II - these are entry-level IEMs, made in China, and of surprisingly high quality. A bit bass-heavy, which makes the mids and highs sound a bit recessed until it runs in for a few hours.

brainwavz m1 / proalpha are good and in budget.

soundmagic and xears as quoted is a good option too.
