Hello,
This is my first of what I am hoping to be many posts on these forums. I am looking to get a portable music player and quality set of IEM's. Currently I use my Samsung Galaxy S 2 (Tmobile Version) Phone with the PowerAmp application and a pair of the Klipsch Image S4 earphone. I listen to Audio Books but also use my phone and home computer to play a huge variety of Flac files. My music ranges from Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Rap, Hip Hop, Alternative, Some Classical and Jazz pretty much everything but Country.
The reason I am changing is I want something with better battery life and sound quality as a player then my phone and the Kilipschs are ok but they seem to have a harsh sounds on the high end treble and there is something not quite right for all music types on the low end of the bass side.
So I am looking for a good sounding all around set of IEMs that provide a nice clear sound for all music types with plenty of bass (for when listening to Rap, Techno, Electronic music types) that doesn't get distorted.
For a portable player I would like to ideally have one that natively plays FLAC files has 32 Gigs + of storage and has enough power and sound options to push the headphones I pair with it on its own (for when at work) but if they can sound better with a small amp at home I am open to that option down the road.
So my question is does the Cowon J3 and Monster Turbine Pro Gold's sound like a good match to achieve this? Is there anyone out there that can provide personal experience with this matchup of PMP and IEMs?
Thanks in advance.
