Best value IEM phones for travel use from Android.

Its often true you get what you pay for.   If you have a good source, it would be a shame to devalue the sound with a headphone that might not be up to the job.   I know Grado, Shure, Sennheiser in ear models...all good.

The Tin T4 showed up today and first impressions playing them through my main system head amp are very favourable indeed.
Very efficient and a lot of nice solid bass without being one note boom, boom bass.

Using my phone which is how they will be used on the plane they did lose a little of that bass impact but hardly surprising tbh.
Overall pretty impressed for $79 shipped from Drop. 

Not sure I’d be too quick to judge them.  Even my cheap Sennheiser buds took a bit to break in and sounded much better after a few days of play time.  Be interested to hear your thoughts after 100 hours or so. 

I really enjoy my Raycon E50’s now upgraded to E55. 

I just got a pair of Grado GR10E....yes they are a changing.  Also, bass depends on the fit.   Although small and med. tips fit, the bass is very different.  When first out of the package, they were lightening fast, and clean....now a bit stodgy, but I suspect they'll come around.  I also have Etymotics, which have perceived more bass, but not a quick.  Sure's also have more bass, but the bass seems to ride the highs and get the  mids "confused".
