Finlandia, any thoughts on these? Samsung Pleomax PEP-950 Ultimate In-Ear Earphones. Seem them for sale as a duo pack for 15 notes - not sure if they are a good buy or not.
Sorry, never heard of them. Can't see them being all that good, but for the price they may sound ok.No IEM's are sweat proof to a 100%, I would recommend to go as cheap as possible while still retaining a good sound and good isolation. CX300 are ok (too bassy and bloated, horrible cable). Fischer Audio A'leph, Meelectronics M9 or Hippo Pearl, or maybe stretch a couple £'s higher and go for the Hippo Shroom.
They are difficult to find other than online, Meelectronics have their own online shop, and I believe Fischer Audio will open their online shop in February.

The deciding factor when buying new earphones is to know what sort of sound signature you want, bassy, neutral or detailed.
What I have noticed is that during my reviews, new and cheaper models are becoming better and better and gaining fast on the top tier competition, which makes a favourite pick that much more difficult as well.
But for now, my overall favourites are as follows.
(Has now been updated and moved to the first post)
In the £100/$160 range, Audio Technica CK10 rules, they are in fact one of the best IEM's of any price, and with a bit of luck they can be had for £100.

I haven't heard the PL30 myself, but from what I have read about them, they do not seem overly bassy. You could try the A'leph with the foamhybrids from the PL30. This combination gives strong bass presence, with clear and detailed mids and highs.
It depends how much bass you want, and if you still appreciate clarity and detail?

I need to replace my E4s, one of which has started buzzing, and would like to try the ATs, I can't see any close to £100 though - any recommendations re suppliers?h0tsh0t said:

How is the bass of Aleph compared to M9 ?. M9 costs me $27(including shipping) and aleph costs $28 including shipping which do u think is more value for money ?Also is there any other models under $30 I could consider ?
A'leph, with foamhybrids would be my choice over the M9, better comfort and fit, slightly better detail and clarity, bass is pretty much on pair.
