Urgent: In Ear Headphone suggestion needed.....

[gowthaman400]

I had Creative EP-630 earphones for 4yrs and now it's broken.
Even though it was good, im not going for creative again.
Im confused between Sony MDR-EX57SL/B ans Philips SHE 9700 (not impressed with its cable extension concept).
I need deep bass.Pls suggest one........
Is there any other earphones better than these with high bass?
If so, pls suggest one under 2k and im in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

Mdr ex57 is a great choice, bass levels r clear and most pleasent in this price range. Must be around 1400rs. Get a fiio e3 amp with it for 350rs. Or i will suggest fiio e5 for 950rs, if u can afford it. Ur experience will bcome awesome. Worth ur money

Thank you vishurocks. what about MDR-XB20EX? it costs about 2000, but it seems to have Extra bass.

Don't even think of getting Sony MDR-EX57SL/B. I used this and gave it away to a friend. The extension port feels heavy and irritating and the audio quality is just okay.

I got Philips SHE9800 yesterday for 2k. Finished aroudn 15hrs of burn-in and the thing is slowly coming to life. Terrific soundstage and very good fit. If you like the audio output to be clean without overpowering bass, this would be a great set.

Stay away from Sennheisers inside 4k. all of them have overpowering bass. Even the XB20EX has weak mids and high due to heavy bass.

Mdr ex57 isn't that bad. Extension port could be irritating, but audio and bass levels are pretty clear.

Get Sennheiser CX-300 II... cost me 2.5k (Mumbai) and they are pretty awesome...

Aren't these bass heavy and are lashed by head-fiers as average IEMs?
