I've been using a pair of Ultimate Ears UE600 for the last 6 months or so, and I'd like an upgrade. I like the detail in the UE600, but the soundstage feels a little lacking for me, and I'd like something with a more prominent bass when I listen to rock music. I'm generally looking for something that doesn't miss out on the detail but provides stronger bass without being too overpowering. Looking for something with clear vocals as well.
I generally listen to alternative, rock, post-hardcore, acoustic. I listen to classical as well, but I like how my UE600 handles classical music. Previously used the Sennheiser CX300-II, but the bass felt a little boomy to my ears.
On a side note, should I simply look for a headphone amp that will compensate for my UE600's lack of bass? I tried a few but they seemed to diminish the detailing that I like.
I've been looking at the Westone UM3x, but I'm open to more suggestions. Thank you!
