Tech and the BrainSick crew, Twista, Bone Thugz... all great when need to hype the brain. There is this Crucified fella who is like.... well out there.... but he has some features on his CD that challenge the brain to keep up
I havn't had an iem since i had some Bose back in like 2006. Then I had Apple Ipod Classic with them earbuds, before picking up some VModa lp2... then yeah went down headphone rabbit hole.
Anyway, I picked up a few IEMS (well it was a few, then a little bit more than a few). I don't know if any are basshead levels except maybe this JVC FRD80-Z (with CNT tech). Defo had to get the VE MONK, KZ ATE as cheapie test IEM/backups. Then this was a tough choice, but I looked at round the 50-100 level (since I am not an IEM guy at all) .. gr07, re400, s2, dunu titan 1/fiio ex1, 1 more triple driver .... tough choices ... i wanted gr07 (but so many iffy issues without recabling service from third party, and possibility of gr09 coming out in the future) and re400 qc issues , i settled on fiio ex1/philips s2, then saw a sony ex750 for fiddy bones so ,,, why not
but, really i got them so i can watch reviews and just to round out my audio knowledge (on ears, over ears, iems, ear bud), not to become hardcore IEM. As you can see i learned the model names from reviews and that headphone list where they compared like 300+ IEMS. Kill some time changing tips, and really just have them for when headphone hot spots heal lol...
I will just be casually listening.
My basshead needs Over Ear. I'm also little paranoid of IEMs being loud from previous scares. I can take an over ear accidental max volume hit, but not IEM
Just preference really
