Couldn't seem to find the recommendation thread, if there even was one.
Anyhow going travelling in 2 weeks so need some half decent ones and i'll be doing allot of long journeys.
I raised my budget to £200 as IEMs are easy to keep safe and i won't be taking any form of DAC. The source will be my laptop or Cowon J3 which i guess i'm gonna take with it's huge battery life.
I like brightness, bit of soundstage, high extension, smooth vocals, quick bass.
I had the Sennheiser IE80 in the past but didn't like it's Sennheiser darkness and uncontrolled bass. Their soundstage was amazing though! Can't remember anything else about them.
I also had some Shure 215s. Those were unimpressive. Everything sounded so soft. They were pretty boring too. That's all i remember about them too.
I love the sound of my Beyer DT1350, but can't take them with me. Great vocals, and highs. About the right amount of bass when burned in.
Also love my dt990 premiums.
I'm a Beyer fan.
But the Beyer IEMs aren't that great it seems?
So i've looked at quite a few and think the:
Musical Fidelity EB50
Hifiman RE400
Probably not a good match to my description?
But they seem to be good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
