Afternoon fellow Whathifiers,
I am in the market for some in-ear headphones. They are going to be a present for my dad who will be using them almost exclusively with an iPod Touch.
The music he will be listening to will be mainly rock (he is really into Joe Bonamassa at the moment) and he loves his bass. When I say he loves his bass, if I visit when he is listening to music, I am horrified as to how distorted things sound.... but each to his own.
Obviously this presents a problem when looking at the in-ear headphones. I did recommend that he bought some Sennheiser CX300's, but he didn't like them based on the bass they put out and that they kept falling out of his ears even with the biggest buds on.
In the search for bigger bass, I have stumbled upon the SoundMAGIC brand. Everyone comments about the bass capability and obviously the E10's have won a Whathifi award this year. I have been looking at the E10, PL30 and PL50 models but can't decide what to get him.
My main concerns are:
1, Bass
2, Ear buds that stay in
I am open to suggestions on other brands and I also would consider adding on something like the Comply foam tips.
Thank you in advance for any advice!!
