I am in need of new earphones.
But before that, I have some questions for audiophiles or earphone-savvy people.
In my past experiences, my broken earphones have something in common. When I plug the jack all the way in, the sound is all muffled and I can only hear the backtrack (no vocals). When I take it out halfway, everything sounds completely fine! So does anything know what is the problem and if it is fixable??
Now onto my real need. I recently broke another pair of IEMs (I know.. :<) and I need to buy new ones. I remembered some of these blogs on TL.net so I know some of you know some stuff.
I am on a budget of about $15~20..but maximum can be $30. I have no preference over treble, high, or bass. Honestly, my ears aren't that great anyway. BUT, I can tell apart shitty iPod earphones and my SoundMagic PL30's. I do not want headphones because I'm just a casual listener and headphones are quite huge.
My past earphones were SoundMagic PL30's and Altec Lansing UHP336. I liked them both very much.. so I am just asking for suggestions from the TL.net community.
tl;dr version:
