Hey guys! I've been researching for months and here are the ones that are on my list:
-Westone W60
-Weston UM PRO 50
-Shure SE846
It's gonna be for my portable setup and I mainly listen to dark ambient, all kinds of metal, drone and original movie scores, So I ABSOLUTELY do not want a bass-heavy phone. I'm after a dark, airy tone with the widest soundstage possible. My main source is my iPhone 6 amplified with Oppo HA2. What do you think?
Oh, and I can't demo any of them where I live. :frowning2:

Since you haven't really put out a specific budget or requirements, I'm just going to throw out the V-Moda M-100 as a recommendation?
