Hello,
I am looking for an IEM/bud recommendation solely for listening to audiobooks.
I have an old ipod 4g touch. The ones I was using up till now were pretty good. They broke and I'd like an upgrade.
My biggest peeve is SHRILL/high TREBBLE. I don't want it.
I made the mistake of buying KZ-ED9 which are terrible compared to the cheaper ones I have(A4tech MK620)
The 's' sound in some audiobooks is so high it hurts my ears on the ED9, even with the equalizer set to treb-reducer.
I read some reviews that the ED9 has good bass, so I automatically assumed they would have regular treb. But boy was I wrong.
Here's what my Mk620 say on the back, (and I've used them for a few years, pretty acceptable sound for audiobooks)
speaker: 10mm
Sensitivity: 102 db/mwat 1khz
Impedence: 32 ohm
I want something solely made for, or optimized for, or ideal for, vocal listening. I'd like voice so clear in my ears, it'd feel like the narrator is sitting right next to me.
No trebble please. I gathered from some reading on these forums that, that part is called 'highs'?
I'd prefer all the S sounds to be normal sounding, not amplified.
Thanks.
PS my budget is 40$
