Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds


I'd like to share my experience with quality earbuds for my Galaxy S3. I read reviews of many headphones looking for something reasonable and when I almost pulled trigger on $150 Yamaha EPH-100 I found this review of LG Quadbeat SE (also known as HSS-F420):

Just look how clean waterfall diagram is. I ordered them from gooddigitalshop.com that is Korean company located in Seoul. I got them within a week and am absolutely amazed with the sound not to mention that they costed me $21 ($29 with shipping). I used Paypal but they also accept credit card. Not only that sound is clean transparent and very, very dynamic with beautiful midrange, but also comfort is great. I ordered second pair for my wife and just got confirmation that it was shipped. Yamaha might be good as well but it is 16ohm - minimum recommended for S3. LG Quadbeat SE is 24 ohm. I also have AKG K271 mkII and this LG earbud is pretty close. Be sure it is SE version since they make another regular Quadbeats. SE version has red logo on the back of each earbud. I hope this might be of use to anybody looking for high quality earbuds.

Turned up, I find the largest ones to have the best all round balance from top to bottom. Plenty of bottom end with those. Best upper bass/lower mid transition. I also don't find the top too hot with the large ones but I do with the others. Well worth the cost.
A hotter sounding than desired top end might well accompany a poor seal that defeats bass potential.
Mapman, Yamaha EPH-100 might be the answer since it seals better by being pushed deeper into ear canal (rubber has to splits). Yamaha claims that smaller driver closer to eardrum produces sound without side reflections making it cleaner. It has good reviews but comes with only one rubber piece that is not available separately. Once it is gone $150 might be gone.
Sure but I had all three well planted and settled. I think they're designed to incorporate resonance built in to the buds. Hence the differences in response.
Csontos, I'm also leaning toward largest piece that I tried again after Chadnliz post. I'm happy you like it.
