Thread Starter 
Recently got the GR2 and was not that impressed that said think mine might have some issues..... I was looking for a new pair of buds for around $100 any recommendations!

What I would be after
- Decent noise isolation
- Good bass & mids
- Colorful noise
- Low cable Microphonics

What I listen to
Don't really listen to one set style of music but i guess i mainly listen to
- Metal
- Pub rock
- Punk
- indie
- Jazz

I like these. They do need to go pretty deep into your ear canal to get the proper sound, but it's not unbearable. I have a friend who didn't like it and went with the Sennheiser CX880. I've tried both, but prefer my Etymotics

Quick link to the chart
Seems like the Etymotic Research HF5s are pretty decent being the cheapest on the list out of the ones with a 8.5+ rating. Other than that, it looks like the HiFiMan RE262s are the best bang for the buck at $150 with a 8.95 rating.

I thought the braided cable on my Westone 3's was the best thing since sliced bread, but that cable has blown my mind... blue would look awesome!
I might have to get a pair of these (add to my collection) smile.gif

Thread Starter 
The Vpulse look great from what i'v read think i'll go with them 3 questions
1. Is there any difference between blue and black versions?
2. How are the microphonices in comparison to the SE215 or RE262?
3. Would these be fine for jogging and gym?

Thanks for the help!!
