Good IEMs under $40?

[av399]

I am looking to buy a decent pair of IEMs, but unfortunately I am on a tight budget. What do some of you recommend? I was also looking at the Sony MDR-EX210B, does anybody know how these sound?

I live in the US by the way, mainly looking for good sound quality to use with my Cowon J3.

I think these are very good , a little more than your budget but well worth it

Cnet just did a round-up of under-$50 phones, including some IEMs. You might find the article helpful.

Sennheiser CX300? Careful though, plenty of fakes floating around.

These really caught my eye, thanks. Do you know how they stack up against the SoundMAGIC e10s?

I find all sources, including forums, inherently biased, to a degree, as we all are . . . . But they all can be used for information. In point of fact, I don't find Cnet any moreso than anyone else, and a good place for a fair amount of information and roundups.

I’m surprised you bothered to answer, I was being rhetorical. That said, I just find them too bias and more so when they get paid off via advertising revenue Although I guess they're not bad for some general information ...

If you want to go cheap as possible, get the Monoprice MEP-933 also known as 8320. You can get it for about $7 plus shipping at Monoprice. It has been getting rave reviews. According to a review, it is better than the Soundmagic E10 in terms of SQ.

Thanks for all the suggestions, they were really helpful. I think I'm going to go with the MEElectronics M6 with Klipsch S4. Found the S4s for a little over 25 on amazon refurbished.


PS: Haven't ordered the M6 yet, just the S4s. Any more choices for IEMs for close to/under $20? I might use it to work out more, don't want anything to happen to the Klipsch.
