$1000 for a pair of IEMs? Save your money for a premium headphone system. I've got a pair of Ultrasone iq which cost me $1000, but honestly it's not worth it. Believe me, even the most expensive IEMs won't have the same outstanding sound as a pair of full-size cans. I suggest you to determine which headphones catering your music tastes the most by puting them on and giving them a try on your own.
