Wan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi, Has anybody out there got any advise on which in Ear's are good to use for us Bass Players ? Ta, Wan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Something that's at least triple driver. Most people say single and dual don't provide enough clarity in the low end for bassists use. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I used to have Ultimate Ears Triple Fi.10's (until I sat on them by accident). They were great, but I only really used them for listening to music and playing in the house. But they were definetly worth the money I paid and theyve went down a fair bit in price since I bought them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 another vote for the acs t1's they're great and incredibly clear right down to a low b however if your on a little bit of a budget you cant go wrong with something like this [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shure-SE535-V-EFS-Sound-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RD7O/ref=pd_sim_ce_7"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shure-SE535-V-EFS-Sound-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RD7O/ref=pd_sim_ce_7[/url] they're triple driver like the acs in ears but about a 3rd of the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudburst Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I've been pleased with my Bose MIE2i earphones. They have a neat silicon device that stops them falling out of your ears without having to jam them up to the hilt into your posterior temporal lobe. So comfortable that you pretty much forget you're wearing them. I'll stop now, as I'm starting to sound like a tampon advert. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shure's naming system is quite strange. The middle number relates to the drivers. The SE215/315 are Single, SE425 are Dual and the SE535 are Triple.

Chrismanbass Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 ah thanks liam sorry getting my wires crossed but yeh some triple driver in ear headphones would be a lot cheaper option and in my experience dont have that much problem cancelling out exterior noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Can't agree more with the comment about triple drivers - I am expecting delivery tomorrow of my ACS T1's having found both their T2's and T15's very lacking on the bass front. My drummer uses standard Shure buds and says they are better than any other monitors he has had in the past! Fingers crossed that the T1's do all that thy should.

Telebass Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) I've just got ACS T3s (single driver) and there's no lack of bass that I can hear! Edited July 21, 2012 by Telebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My T1's arrived today and they are fantastic - the fit is definitely better and the bass nothing short of phenomenal. If T3's work for you the great but it was the opinion of the MD of ACS that bass players and drummers would need T1's all day long to get the low end that they want to hear.

Thurbs Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have T3s and find them great. I use mine mostly for help with singing so am not usually listening to the bass much other than the usual buff notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
