Hey folks, just spent a week being overwhelmed by all the options that have appeared since my last purchase, when I ended up with the 1More Triple Driver. I love their sound but the left side treble just died so I am searching for a replacement.
Things I love about the 1More: Sub-bass extension and detail, treble clarity. I'm aware they are slightly V so maybe I don't know what I'm missing in the mids?
Budget is flexible, but was planning on <$150 since I have been known to lose things (also diminishing returns).
Ordered the Blon's off Ali on a whim but looks like they wont be here for ages and I'm dying with these iPhone earbuds in the meantime
Comfort: Will be listening for long stretches. I prefer something not too isolating (no Etymotic stye) since I like to have some surroundings awareness, especially in transit. Also loved the comfort and ease of insertion of the 1More (not over ear cables), but could be convinced...
A mic would also be great since I'll be using for occasional calls.
Music I listen to: Mostly melodic metal, some with downtuned/bass emphasis (Gatecreeper, Wolfheart, Moonsorrow, Insomnium, Epica, Amorphis), Bass Music (Twerk, Moombahton, Bass House, Dubstep), and then whatever else
Current List:
- Moondrop Starfield (great reviews, these seem ideal except no mic, and over-ear cable. Maybe pair with a bluetooth module or replace the cable for calls? Or just get some APP's too...)
- Tin T4 (cheap and lots of great reviews, like the form factor and includes mic)
- Shouer Singer
- Final e4k, IT01
- Blon with swapped tips (people say these punch above their weight so why not?)
So should I just get the Moondrops or T4 and see what happens?
Other headphones I own: HD25 II Aluminum for DJing, Sony XB950 for bass cannon, HD6XX (hate the lack of bass)
