There's no such thing as "clear upgrades". Every IEMs out there have their own weaknesses and strengths, and that's still highly subjective. What others think as "clear upgrade" does not necessarily means it'll be an upgrade for you too, lol.

That's actually the best way to go in my opinion, especially if you can afford it.

Since money is a non issue, you might as well add the Sennheiser IE800 on that listetysmile.gif

i enjoyed my 232 but i have something more in the mid.

232's mid will be thinner if a lot bass in song. i need mid to be warm, rich, more forward

232's bass is great but not fast in some j-rock song i have. it's become weak when have to keep pace with the speed in that song
The soundstage is ok. but i want it a little wider for more comfortable to listen in long time

the high is amazing (i love how the violin perform on 232).i really don't know how it's can be better in another iem.

Ps; heir 8a with can be my upgrade. i think you should consider it. depend on many review of it i read. it's take care all of the weakness of 232 i mentioned.

The point is that there is no clear upgrade, it depends on your subjective tastes. I would ask the OP what do you currently like about the 232 and what would you like improved?


Well my K3003 arrived today and I must say initial impressions are good, i need to use them longer before I can determine if the signature is an improvement against the 232. However I may have found my ultimate universal.

 

 

Having said that I am really keen on the Fitear 334....

Congrats! I've been wanting to try them for a while now. Please let us know about your impressions once you've gotten use to the sound signature.
