I have the Sony MDR XB90 and I can tell you that it's quite bassy IEM , with sort of muddy bass in the beginning. I am also a new user of it , so it'll take some more time till I get it to it's proper burn-in period , but still I don't think the bass will reduce much over time.
To be very honest with you , I would not suggest it to you if you like balanced or clear sounds. The bass clearly over-powers the mids and highs. In short there is a artificial bass , i.e. you can hear thumps even when they are very feeble. So , practically speaking , you'll hear a thump on almost every beat.
SO , if you are not really a Bass-freak then I won't suggest it to you.
Though , if you are bass-head , I think this will blow you up. I had a bass-head IEM earlier , DUnnu- Hephaes DN16 , and it was meant to blow away when it comes to bass . Well the SOny one blows DN-16 away when it comes to bass. SO , I don't think I really need to tell more about it.
I'll post a review soon , comparing XB90 with DN-16 and Tekfusion twinwoofers to give a better idea. I am just not getting enough time to do it.
I bought it for 3600Rs. Not sure how much are you getting it for.
Earlier I used to consider myself a bass-head , this one made me re-think about my sound signature. I think i prefer less of bass.
, The bass hits very hard , I really mean it. It's very hard bass. You simply can't listen to bass-heavy songs for long , it'll make your head Xplod and your ears bleed.buy
If the sound signature remains same over time , I'll probably sell it. It's too bassy for me , way too much.Will prolly get back to my Twin-woofers after getting them patched or else will buy dual-armature earphones.
I am done with my desire for deep sub-bass , I don't want it no more _/\_.

I listen to all type of songs except heavy metal. I listen to bands/artists like Linkin Park, Led Zeppelin, U2, Adele. I also listen to bollywood music. I prefer crystal clear sound as I prefer sweet sounding music as long as bass is respectable. I previously had SM E10 and would have preferred a little more bass than them. (Although changing the equalizer, gave me more bass but I didn't like the sound then). Although a similar bass like E10 would be fine for me.
Can you please suggest?
Based on the replies from [MENTION=128807]Nanducob[/MENTION] and [MENTION=140405]Hrishi[/MENTION], my list is reduced to -
Which one would you recommend?
1. T Peos Tank
2. Brainwavz M2 - quite old
3. Vsonic VSD1/VSD1S
So now its tank vs VSD1.

perfect for gaming and movies and some occasional music.
I'm using the same here.
IMO Philips SHP 1900 is good enough i use it at 50 % volume ..........

You are lucky my SM E10's left earpiece went dead within 10 months.i would myself go with VSD1S for a complete experience, myself using SM E10 from past 1.5yrs, still going strong though i am now looking for some sound change..
BTW, VSD1S is not available at hifinage. So I will go for VSD1 then. Not able to found any other indian store having them. They will cost around 3.4k. Fair price?

Is there any place in hyderabad where I can buy them offline?
Ahh, at hifinage, first they increased the price from 3k to 3.4 (taxes) and then further to 3.52k (shipping). Now this is not looking good. Thinking about back to 1k and maybe buy something around 6k next year.

Had sennheiser HD 201. used it for around 2 years. Overall it was a good device. But I was not satisfied considering VFM.
1.The wire length was unnecessarily too much.
2.Bad build. The polymer from the wire stared to crumble exposing the inner(main) wires.
3. Now the left speaker wont work.
Please suggest me a good over the head headphones max within 2k. I won't mind using a headphone below 1k too if it gives good value for money.
I want decent bass,mids,lows & vocals. Having high volume is a must. Sennheiser lacked this Though the sound was good but it was not that high. I am used to high volume levels.(A little below max.).Should not disturb others means minimal leakage.
There should not be any domination of one thing(bass,treble...etc) over another. how is MDR-G45LP/Q vs RP-HT161E-K for a start.

I have personally heard from kipish & they are awesome! Rest is up to you. Though its a bit tedious but it would be better if you can personally try them before buying.
OT: I have no experience of sennheiser earphones but if you ask me for headphones I would say stay away from HD 201 & 202 if you like to hear a little loud music.
