Hello,

I am looking to buy IEMs since my Sony MDR-EX10 died after 15 months of use.
I listen to rock and metal. I am looking for good detail and sound clarity. (No overwhelming Bass).

Please suggest a suitable set of IEMs for around 1.5K.

Thanks!

I checked it out. It didn't work for me. Not at all:(

I am thinking of getting SoundMagic PL30

Good reviews for Soundstage and clarity, some average reviews about the build quality.
Thoughts?

No prob.
I'm really sorry can't comment as I do not listen to metal & rock.
These are not bassy at all.
Mention some tracks I can check.
If you are from Mumbai can offer for auditioning it. :)

Edit:
By upping the budget Sound magic E30 would be better for you IMO.

Hey Thanks! I am from Bangalore.
E30 are a bit out of budget for me at 2.5K :(

I would be really grateful if you could try the below tracks:
Chasing the Sun - Motherjane
Anesthetize - Porcupine Tree
Since I have been loving you - Led Zeppelin
Black Rose Immortal - Opeth

I have used SM PL13 before and the the bass was a bit overwhelming for me.
I am looking for a balanced sound across the spectrum...

So we have the Cowon EM1 and SM PL30. Any body tried both of these? Pros/Cons? Which one of these are fit for my requirements stated above?

Get PL21 over PL30 for Rock.

I have used the SM PL13 and I found the bass overwhelming and Mids and highs not up to the mark.
Can you suggest if the PL21 are somewhat similar sounding to PL13?

Is it worth waiting and getting the E30 instead at 2.5K. I see they have excellent reviews.
