Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you have actually gone from a dedicated headphone setup to a pure iem setup? The reason i ask is because recently I've been thinking of selling my Denons and going with a custom IEM.
I've given it a bit of thought and I'll provide some facts to help as well:
-I usually only listen to my headphones for less than 1 hour a day.
-I started going back to school recently so I'm not really in my house too often.
-A huge reason I bought the headphones in the first place was because I live in an apartment and I can't really turn up the volume on my speakers. However lately I've been realizing that I don't mind listening to my less than steller onkyo home theatre in a box setup at a low volume than my headphones.
-Every time I put on my Denons I think to myself, "I would be a damned fool to sell these". It's a constant struggle on what to do.
I own a pair of ie8's that I really like when I EQ the midbass out of it and I'm assuming a custom IEM would provide a more euphoric experience? I do get to demo a universal pair of custom IEM's at the end of this month though so I'm sure that will help with my decision quite a bit.
Maybe someone in a similar situation could offer some advice? Anything would definitely be appreciated.
Thanks all,
-Cedric
