SoundMagic PL30 vs UE Metro.Fi 150

[eViLrAcEr]

Hi,
So I just ordered a pair of CX300 IIs @ half price on mymemory same days ago and I was looking for a spare pair.

I found two of them:

- Soundmagic PL30 (on Focalprice)
- Ultimate Ears Metro.Fi 150

on MyMemory, the UEs are @ half price there (15.99 pounds)

so I wanna get some opinion on what I should get.

I listen to Classics, Rock, Metal, Slow, Trance, Dance and almost all kinds of music.

Please suggest.

Thank you

Im sorry, i dont understand the question. Are u asking which of the 2 that you listed is better? Whats the second set for? Did u not want to get another CX300?

[eViLrAcEr]

well..yes that's the question

another CX300?? well...I read that CX300s are mostly bass heavy with less defined mids and highs

I have bought one pair already and it's gonna arrive after 21st, I am looking to buy an extra pair

can you please tell me how are the Metro.Fi 150s please?

You may wish to edit your thread title so that people here have a better idea of what you are asking for. "IEM Confusion" is honestly not much more descriptive than "HELP ME!!!111!" as a title.

I've read good reviews about the Soundmagic IEMs around forums, but not to many people seem to write about the UE's

The thing is, I'm a bit tight on budget

it's either one of these two as spare or nothing...what I want to know is: Are the Metro.Fi worth buying at the moment?

Thanks

I really love my pl20s. Upgrading from some fake apple ibuds, I was relly blown away. I have a friend with the cx300 II and, while, they are nice, the pl20s are much more detailed. I'd imagine the pl30s are similar.

A word of caution, though: I've heard that the bass boost knob on the pl30s can fall off. just saying.

I think I'll pass on this sorry guys...Thanks for helping me

I made this recommendation in another thread, but if you like dance and trance then the Meelectronics Ai-M9 are the absolute best you can buy for those genres at your price point. Sound quality is of course subjective, but for the music you listen to I truly don't think there is a better budget IEM. That they also have the best build quality in their class is another bonus. In the states, they cost $20. You may want to e-mail meelectronics customer service to find out what shipping would cost you.
