Goldring GX200 or Philips SHE-9850?

Stephy23 · 12-09-2008, 10:06 PM

Hi,
I can get the GX200 for €50 and the Philips for €100. Is there a big difference between the two in terms of sound quality? And what about noise isolation?
I am trying to understand how big of a step upwards the Philips (and other IEM's in that price category for that matter) is from the Goldring, so I can decide whether they're worth their price. Also, I can get the Sennheiser CX 95 for €80. I can't quite make up my mind as to which one to go for if I would be spending more than €50.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I had a pair of the GX200's, The sound was good but I found the fit irritating, even with the smallest set of buds fixed on they didn't last long until I found them uncomfortable. I have replaced them with a set of B&O
buds that clip over the ear and they are fantastic, I'm not sure of the model number and they are more expensive than the Goldrings but I can spend a couple of hours in the gym and they wont move! Hope this helps.
