As the title might suggest, I'm, looking for the best IEM for Trance and EDM right now. I know there have been other threads for this, but the last one was from when the Westone 3 was new, as far as I can tell :/
The price bracket is $1-$700. If a $100 pair sounds better for Trance than a $700 pair, recommend the $100 Only the sound matters here, I'm not asking for build, accessories etc.
So away we go! As of 2014. what is the best IEM in existence for trance? (up to 700 bucks )
N.B: this is for research purposes primarily, if I was looking to buy straight away I'd be considering build, accessories and aesthetics as well.
N.B.N.B: $700 is about £400 for us Brits
EDIT:
I'm now adding a list of 'competitors to this OP, to give everyone some sense of where it's up to
EDITEDIT: Now added [Tier] explanations:
[Tier 1]: Superstars, these have been recommended repeatedly across this thread and others. These are considered solid choices for Trance.
[Tier 2]: These have received either a gushing recommendation that hasn't been followed up, or they are solid choices that don't have the army of loyal fans that [Tier 1] have. This tier includes IEMs that 'won' past Best For Trance threads but that haven't yet been recommended here.
[Tier 3]: These have been indicated, but lack sufficient love for [Tier 2] status.
[Tier 1]:
Aurisonics ASG-2
Yamaha EPH-100
DITA The Answer
T-PEOS H300
VSonic GR07 (and Bass Edition)
[Tier 2]:
UE Triple.Fi 10
T-PEOS Altone 200
Earsonics SM64
JVC FXZ200
/
Westone 3
Sennheiser IE80
Sennheiser IE8
Earsonics SM3 (and v2)
Audio Technica CK10
Audio Technika CK100 (and pro)
[Tier 3]:
Audio Technica IM50
Audio Technica IM70
DUNU DN-1000
I'll keep this maintained as we go along
