I dont have the she3580 with me to directly compare until probably next week....assuming they survive spring break with a couple of 13 year olds. I don't have an ear for soundstage in IEMs so I won't even try to compare.

That's from Dependable Resource. The amazon one is still 5.99.

Probably in half an hour my link will take you somewhere else. Don't you just love the way amazon works?

BTW $10.28 from amazon.ca. <mutter mutter>

I finally got these and I can only explain the sound as 'thin' and 'tinny'. Almost no bass to speak of.

However, me and a random amazon reviewer seem to be the only people who thought this so maybe we got faulty phones...

A lack of bass sounds like a poor seal. Did you try using other tips? Didd you let this burn in? Try letting it play for 24 hours or more at a slightly higher than normal volume.

It also depends on "where" you're coming from in terms of IEMs.

Anyway I want to pick one of these to use at gym since I already broke 2 of mid-fi IEMs there! I want something very cheap, designed for the gym and with a mid-centric or balanced sound. I was going for the m6 but I HATE v-shaped sounds!

In terms of quality while not expecting a premium sound is it at least better than the m6 and senn cx300?
