I was fortunate enough to test two great quality earphones off one another in a bid to see which one was the better, all-rounded pair. For someone who was blissfully oblivious to the beauty of true sound quality, it came as a welcome surprise when both the Brainwavz M2's and Nakamichi Elite earphones blew my $30 pioneers out of the water and rendered them something of the past, never to see the darkness of my ears again. I have now seen the light, or heard the sound, or some other BS saying of the like.

clear acoustics

minimal static sound
balanced stereo
clear re-verb
great isolation
slight noise bleed

Oh i am sure many of you forum regulars have seen the ProAlpha name floating around for well over a year, well its not vaporware anymore, its real and its coming to MP4 Nation.
The Brainwavz ProAlphas are the bigger brother to the Alphas, its sound is much bolder, detailed laden with a wide soundstage, again people who enjoy bass will appreciate the intensity the ProAlphas bass can provide. People can enjoy using the ProAlphas with almost any type of music, but it will especially sound good with Rock & Roll, hip hop and R&B. The ProAlphas are another bang for your buck quality in ear monitor.
The Brainwavz ProAlpha will come with a 1 year swap for new warranty, should anything go wrong with the unit, you only need to send the earphones and we will send back a brand new uni
VR-Zone have reviewed the Brainwavz M1 and M2 IEMs and have published a glowing account all around.
"Both the M1 and the M2 are a steal at its selling price. I would strongly recommend these two brothers to anyone out there who wants to take a peek into the world of IEMs. These two will definitely open your eyes and within minutes of auditioning either pair, you'll throw away those stock earphones that comes with your players."
"If you are really fussy and particular with comfort, you won't go wrong with either the M1 or the M2."

Introducing the Brainwavz M2, the third Brainwavz to be released by us. The M2 is quite different from the Alpha and the Beta models, the M2 provides a more mature, detailed and refined sound, but above all the sound signature is fun and exciting, two words that will quickly be synonymous with the Brainwavz M2.

Ultimate Ears have unleashed their wild pricetags again and released their 18 Pro custom IEMs at $1350.
A company first, they have six speakers in each earpiece, with four-way crossovers.
They feature the patent-pending triple-sound channels, with each channel having a filter for seperate frequencies.
The custom part comes in the form of the plastic mold which comes from the hands of audiologists (who seems to pack quite an hourly rate).
For an extra $50 you can have an ambient noise feature thrown in on top.

Introducing (finally) the new Beta Brainwavz, our second addition to our Brainwavz earphone line. The Betas are somewhat quite different from what the Alphas are like. Unlike the Alphas, which have uber bass, the Betas have a far more refined audio quality, with a more punchy and solid bass, but far better quality for high and mid range frequencies. The Betas are more for those that enjoy being able to make out every instrument being played in a song without an overwhelming amount of bass, which would normally drum out a lot of the more subtle audio elements.
The elongated earphone shaft enables the Betas to have very good isolation which benefit low and high frequencies, but for those that prefer a more tamed highs.
The Betas come with a second attachable grill, which can shave
