Hi, I`m looking to buy som new IEm for use with my X5. I listen to both classical (mostly chamber) and jazz, but my main diet is rock, r&b and blues. Some of my faves: Beatles, Cake, Aerosmith, S.R. Vaughan, Muddy Waters.
So which IEM should I get? The Q-Jays, Shure SE420 or 530. I can`t audition any of these localy so I`ll just have to make an informed decision based on reviews, and of course the excellent advice from the gurus here.
My home rigg is built around a AT W1000 and a Sony MDR F1, both with tubeamp and lossless encoded music from a Dell laptop via a Yamaha USB mixer. I very much like the sound of this setup. As for budget the Q-Jays can be had here in Norway for 215 USD, the SE420 cost 400 USD and SE530 590 USD (streetprices). Are the Shures that much better or can I save a bit getting the Q-Jays? I`ve also looked into the line from UE, but these look somewhat uncomfy and Frankensteinish
