I am seeking some advise on my next pair of C(IEM)
Not sure which way to go I think i narroweed it down to JH Audio Or Noble Audio (NA)
the new savants are interesting but they are not custom fit- Not sure if i want custom but think it may be better as i have smallish ears and i cant really get a good fit I used to use Etymotic ERP4 and they hurt quite a bit but when it made a seal the IEM was really really good
 
Some of the NA customs are phenomenial but the pricing seems much higher not realling understanding why the shell costs more than the insides and i wont pay that much for artwork as its all about the sound and i cant see them if there in my ears
 
I read marvelous reviews for the JH5 but its there entry level monitor- Can they really be that good?
I was thinking about the JH10X3 or JH11
I listen to primarily classic rock and 80s music a little country and even some Soul/R&B/Metal- Pretty eclectic
I also do a lot of listening on Spotify may go over to Tidal but when i auditioned tidal before i heard no difference to Spotify perhaps new monitors will change that as im currently using Grado S60 and Souls for my listening
 
Also any DAP that integrate with Spotify or Tidal as the only one i know of is the new Sony which is pricy
Im considering the new A&K Jr-
 
Sorry for all the questions but im pretty green here
 
Thanks in advance

Hi
 
Welcome to Headfi, sorry about your wallet.
 
It would help if we knew your rough location and budget as that would help narrow things down more.  For general questions on ciems you may be better off going here :-
