More than one High-end IEM? | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

I already have a pair of TF10's, which have been the best headphones I've owned, bar none.

However, I am interested in the Westone 3's and the Sennheiser IE8's. I personally listen to most kinds of music. The TF10's have been great because they are very versatile, but the fit is bothersome (already looking at turning them into customs).

Would it be advisable to save up the dough for the 3's or IE8's?

What do you mean by advisable? No one knows nor can judge your situation except yourself.. unless more details are provided..

If money's not a problem, why not try out another top IEM for comparison's sake? I'd recommend the W3.

Well, you could buy both second hand or one of them new. Decide which one you like and then sell the rest off and use that money to buy a good amp/DAP/DAC.

Or you could take it a step further and get customs.

The Westones will definitely be most similar to the TF10s. The IE8 is less neutral, being more warm and bassy.

I think if you likes TF10Pro then try UM3x, ATH_CK100 and W3. All are very resolving but only preference willbe what type of sound signature you likes most and the details level.
