Nexexy wrote Thanks, I'll go ask the guy you mentioned. This one guy, famed on Head-Fi for discovering budget-value IEMs (he discovered the Monoprice 8320), also recommended the CKM50 at $24 and also commented that it is even superior to the M50 in terms of sound quality. The only thing stopping me is availability. Ever since his post, the price raised astronomically to $70 in a week. I found one for $20 at Buydig, but it's white. I'm not too big a fan of white earphones; they're reminiscent of Apple buds, and give the impression that they're cheap.

And the money, as well. I'm broke, but I'm trying to sell some of my IEMs to maybe pick up a black one at $40.

Tis true. There can NEVER be too many ponies.

Oh, that guy is kind of unreliable. I don't like speaking subjectively, but I really hated a lot of the stuff he said was awesome, like the HTF600 and the cheap Philips'. I never got to try the Monoprice or CKM50, but he always speaks in hyperboles that are generally inaccurate. For $20, that's a cheap gamble, but don't expect too much. (I'd love to be wrong though).

But for your tastes, the Monster Turbine Pro Gold would be the closest thing to the M50's that I can think of (didn't really like them either...I have weird tastes) but they're probably way over your budget. If you want something cheapish, you can't really go wrong with the DUNU Hawkeye (which I REALLY need to review since I've had these since CES...). They're the most similar IEM that I can think of that's under $75. Honestly, I don't have too much experience in the $75-$150 area. I've only tried the Brainwavz B2 in this price range. The rest are above or below, sorry!

Exactly how I feel. Even after I bought the CKM55s and hated them, I was duped into buying the CKM50s per his recommendations. I really wish that they would ban him actually.

I usually don't mind enthusiasm, but his enthusiasm goes to an irritating degree. Sure, he finds stuff that's usually pleasing to most people, but he makes it sound like they're the best things ever. Like the aforementioned HTF600. I honestly preferred iBuds to them because the Pannies were so messy-sounding. Banning might be too harsh, but he seriously needs some of these:

And for Sanchez, take a look a the AKG K181 if you really like bass. Their Large Club setting is insane--more bass than Beats (any version) yet a lot more control!

I was just wondering if you could do car audio? Or if you know anything about that. I'm looking to get 2 12' subs in my car, could you tell me what type of subs I should get, what kind of amp, and anything else I would need. I want the heaviest hitting bass speakers that are really loud. I will be listening to rap, hip-hop and stuff of that nature. I'd like to keep the whole package under 600, $700 USD tops. I'm still in highschool and I'm paying for all of this myself so I'd like to save as much as possible!

I don't do car audio, nor would I have any desire to place so much emphasis on one part of the spectrum. People who want to drive around flaunting their stupid, muddy, overpowering speakers just piss me off.

Alright can you point me in the right direction to someone who can? I will rep!

I honestly have no clue. Good luck, though.
